I’m a joiner. I always have been. If there’s a committee, or club or volunteer organization, I’ll be there to sign-up to help or maybe even lead. I never have understood the people who don’t help with anything or join a group just to be a number. That is just a foreign concept. Volunteering gives me a lot of joy. But… (there’s [...]
Having children can sometimes be like stepping into a cold shower or looking into a mirror. They will shock you by imitating things you’ve done or said, and they reflect your actions in how they look at problems and how they handle responsibilities. Sometimes, it is a refreshingly cold shower, and then you get out and look in the mirror [...]
Life changing moments
We’ve all had them, and more than likely you remember where you were the exact moment one happened. Some life changing moments are big and some are small, but each one helps to shape and mold the person we are.
I had one of those moments Christmas Day. No, it wasn’t while [...]
Most people accept that Southerners have their own way of doing things, and that we don’t really care about what others think. (If you haven’t watched Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, you should. It is a very extreme version of this attitude.)We have our traditions, and you can either lead, follow, or get out of the way.

I love football! (and I’m not talking about the kind that has a round black and white ball) It is a way of life in the South. As far as sports go, there is football and then there is everything else that serves as a distraction until football season starts again. Living in Alabama, we are spoon [...]
This summer, our fam’s patriotism is at an all-time high. We have been excited counting down the days for the summer 2012 Olympics. We have been watching all of the Olympic trials. It doesn’t matter what sport it is, we’ll watch it. If they had Olympic tiddlywinks, we’d watch it. (They have curling in [...]
Teaching children how to be a good friend, and to find good friends, is a process. It’s not something that is innate. Have you ever seen toddlers playing together? Most children are selfish, and some can be just downright mean. If you want to have some friends, you first must learn to be one. Being [...]
I can’t think of one mom I know that is not looking forward to summertime. We are all NATZ: In A Tizzy. I start dreaming of summer in late April, and start counting the down the days at the beginning of May. Our family’s schedule is crazier in April and May than Christmas time. Is [...]
We are BIG hunters in our family. Everyone hunts but me; even my daughter killed two does this season. My fam loves to shoot guns and hunt animals. They’re not too bad at it either. Everything they kill we eat, and we have eaten very well this winter. It may sound contradictory that the words preservation and conservation would [...]
Hopson and I often hear how lucky we are to have such a great family. We have been happily married for over 18 years and have four beautiful, healthy, wonderful, funny, obedient children. Am I blessed? You know I am… way more than I deserve. But I also know it has nothing to do with luck. It has everything to [...]
