Today we both wore collared shirts to work. Anthony has been wearing one everyday for two months now. I wore my first one ever today. AND it has the name of the company on it! (It's the little things, people.) It's my second-ever company shirt. I received my first company t-shirt literally two days ago. … Continue reading On Living Our Best Life

Dear Grandma, Love Tracy
This woman's fingerprints are all over my childhood--camping trips, summers, riding on the center console to the hair dresser's house. She was at every school play, graduation, hoe down, and choir performance. Less so as I grew up, got married, and moved 45ish minutes away, but it was an honor to write a small overview … Continue reading Dear Grandma, Love Tracy

Dear Top 6 Writing Tools, You are my first ever guest post. You gave me my first public writing experience. It was magic to see you all lit up with hearts and likes, comments and a couple shares.

It’s 9 O’clock at Night and I Am Home
Tuesday, 12/26/17, 9:30pm I am home. At 8 o'clock I was still sitting at our dining room table working my way through Day 33 of Annie F. Downs's devotional 100 Days to Brave, listening to my Red Sea Road, Age to Age, "Even If" (by MercyMe) and "Oh My Soul" (by Casting Crowns) playlist on … Continue reading It’s 9 O’clock at Night and I Am Home

On This Is Us, Hoarding, and Story
I watched the 5-1/2 minute discussion video they have after every episode and then scrolled up and down hoping Episode 10's teaser trailer would be up. Nope. Not yet. So then I felt empty. Just a bit. But this story--You guys! I LOVE story. Story. With a capital S.
{Dear Azzie, Love Auntie} 22 months
Thursday, 11/16/2017 6:06am Dear Azzie, Yesterday you turned 22 months old. You are two months short of TWO YEARS. Where has the time gone? This time last year we were able to fit you into a carved pumpkin. This year you sat in your high chair, decorated your own pumpkin, and sang Moana songs. Uncle … Continue reading {Dear Azzie, Love Auntie} 22 months
I Am A Writer.
How does this make me feel? Scared. Alive. Embarrassed. Like I’m shouting (#fontmatters). Like I’m drawing attention to myself. Like a fraud. I don’t write everyday. I have nothing published out there in the writing world. I have many unfinished stories. It’s like I have nothing to back this claim up. Fake. I’m a fraud. … Continue reading I Am A Writer.
Sunday Sweetness: The Dirty Dishes Edition
I took a lot of pictures today. I took some of the walk Anthony and I took around Meadow Vista. I took some of the berry bushes along the side of the road and the sunlight. I screenshot the homepage of the YouTube channel I subscribed to earlier today. I took a selfie of us … Continue reading Sunday Sweetness: The Dirty Dishes Edition
