By: Harmony Hobbs I used to be the modest type. On the morning of my wedding day I changed in the bathroom instead of in front of my bridesmaids. I wore a ridiculous getup the first few times I spent the night with my now-husband. It involved sweat pants. In the summer. In Louisiana. You know the type...

I watched a 10 year old boy on a bike almost plow into a toddler the other day. Naturally, my inner maternal instinct/teacher/disciplinarian caused me to sternly say “Stop! Watch for the little one!” And then I got a dirty look. But not from the bike rider, from the dad of the toddler. Does...

Jamie - My new thing this week was getting out of my comfort zone regarding reading.  I love fiction and stick to it mostly, but this week, I bought an American history book and haven’t peeked up yet! Trish - My new thing was silly… but I wanted to create happy reminders throughout my day. ...

You’re relaxing in the gorgeous sunshine of bright, Alabama day when you wind up in the middle of a water-gun fight between two children whose parents are too busy catching up on neighborhood gossip to care.  Been there?  If not, you have probably been close. It’s time to let it all out...

Jamie - My new thing this week was to unplug for an entire day.  No cell phones (dead anyway) &  no computer (laptop cord croaked).  Instead I spent copious amounts of time hanging out with the kids, watching movies with the husband and generally living in a state of “now”.  It was...
