Today is my mama’s birthday. She is 69. She tells people she is 70. She believes she’s 70. I did too til I did the math. She’s really just 69. That made her happy.
For Mama’s birthday I made her this ensemble:
Adorable, huh?
My modesty is immense. Much like [...]
I would like to report a robbery!
Someone stole my éclair.
It was last seen in a bakery box sitting in Mama’s refrigerator.
It is light brown with a chocolate icing.
Here’s a picture of it:
Seriously, I had an éclair stolen from me. It was a case of theft by taking.
My client, Jane, brought me an individually boxed [...]
Button Button Who Has the Button?
I can tell you right now who has the button! MAMA! This is ONE of Mama’s button bowls.
Here.
Take a closer look.
Come on!
Get CLOSER!
I thought I’d try to examine a new button every week.

I find commitment difficult.
Don’t judge.
Please?
I can’t handle being judged right now.
Or ever.
So.
Here is [...]
I’m at Mama’s house. She has chickens. You knew that. Sorry. Sometimes I repeat myself. I need to work on that. Make a note, will you?

When I was 5 my favorite story was Little Red Riding Hood. That winter I wanted to be Little Red Riding Hood. I wanted a cape. Not just any cape. I wanted a Little Red Riding Hood cape. I insisted it be red, wool and have a hood! Mama has always aided [...]
Mama’s got a thing for cats.
When I was a kid she had 40 cats and kittens. All outside cats and all spayed or neutered. When I was a young woman the number decreased to 18. 15 were outside cats and 3 became inside cats.
Daddy didn’t believe in house cats. When Daddy [...]
I spend one night a week at my mama’s house. This week, she had just picked a ton of blueberries. Like. A GALLON. A gallon of blueberries is a lot of blueberries.
I didn’t know she even had blueberry bushes. Sure, we had them when I was a kid but either [...]
Mama had friends over last night. She served The Pioneer Woman’s Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever! It was a HIT! This is what she wore:

Also, I love the choker:
Remember that cute fabric I told you I had? The red fabric with skulls? Yep. It’s now [...]
For Father’s Day this year, I invited the family over to Mama’s house to celebrate. (Daddy won’t drive all the way to my house.) Although the event was held at Mama’s, my sister in law and I prepared the feast!
I made Daddy’s favorite meat, pork. I used The Pioneer Woman’s Spicy Shredded [...]
