Real Life
Blogging on the sofa–a typical nightly scene in the G&D household. My T-shirt quilt. This is one of my favorite possessions and is pretty much on the couch with me at all times. My mom made me this quilt as a surprise high school graduation gift. She slowly hoarded T-shirts from sports I’d played, camps
Thank You for the…What??
This thank you card had us cracking up last weekend! It was written by my friend’s daughter Gracey who recently turned 7 years old, thanking her aunt Angela and her uncle Aaron (whose nickname is Buck) for their birthday gift–a T-shirt with a horse on it. But at first glance it looks like the card

These are things this Midwestern girl doesn’t take for granted–and all things I was able to enjoy for the first time this month. Welcome Spring! 2. Cadbury Creme Eggs–I nearly tore
Aviators & a T-Shirt Sun

That’s What I Said
“Yeah right. Like I’d ever give my own child this much attention.” Said by me, in response to my friend Beth who exclaimed, “You’re going to be such a great mother someday!” after I spent the evening playing with her 2-year-old daughter.
