My little mirror image looks right back at me when I look at my oldest daughter. From her brown eyes to her love of big words, she resembles me in too many ways to count. At the very lest least we are similar enough as to make us like the prickly side of Velcro rubbing…
by Desiree Taylor Tonight my husband took my son David for a ride in the car. Not just any ordinary car ride but one where my son drives and I am in the back seat. We have an older son who is twenty one years old so it isn’t the first time doing this but…
It was just the force of habit. I picked up the wrapper from my son’s Criasin’s snack package and went to throw it away, opening the pantry door and almost tossing the rubbish directly onto a box of cereal. I had to stop myself and it took me a moment to remember that isn’t where…
My daughter is a total hand baby. Sad thing though is that she is no longer a baby, but somehow she still loves getting lifted ALL THE TIME. This means that at times when we are home she will come and hold onto your feet and ask to be lifted. This one isn’t so bad…
I didn’t grow up telling the truth. Don’t get me wrong, we weren’t supposed to lie, we just didn’t tell the truth about the hard stuff. In the name of southern grace we had an arsenal of tools to deal with the truth that involved joking about it, using sarcasm, avoidance of the issue, and…

Anxiety begins to take over, and you fearfully look around, praying a station will magically appear before you stall on the side of the road. You’ve failed to fill your tank…
My name is Evonne Prince and on February 28, 2015, I married my best friend, a man I’d been engaged to 2 years ago. We are a unique because we are a blended family. I have a 6 year old son from my previous marriage and he is the absolute apple of our eye. In…
When my new friend, Lisa Brown, asked me to join her community of writers as a mentor mom, I couldn’t help but giggle a bit since I find that being a grown up is highly overrated. With Thorin’s key around my neck, my superhero belt on, surrounded by my favorite toys, I hardly feel qualified…
When you’re a kid, other kids won’t like you for whatever reason. The way you look, the friends you have, the music you listen to, something you said. Petty reasons really, it’s all petty. I wish I could say that it changes when we become adults, but it doesn’t. It’s still petty. What a…
