There are moments in life that are so sacred, so intimate; we are possessive with whom we will share them with. Yet at the same time, because they are so meaningful to us we desire to share the memories with many as to offer a glimpse of the divine. The moment each of my children … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles and The Great Camping Escapade
The Coconut Chronicles and Lessons in Chaos
Some days (most actually) I feel like the character Pig-Pen from Peanuts. You know, the one who has the dirt cloud swirling around him wherever he goes. I don't have actual dirt blowing around but a whirlwind of chaos. I am the most organized, unorganized person on the planet. See I love the concept of … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles and Lessons in Chaos
The Coconut Chronicles and the Trouble with Girls…
After recovering from my initial shock of finding out I was pregnant with Coconut #1, I realized that I really wanted a girl. I don't know if it was that I had been around little girls in the dance world all my life, or just that fact that I thought it would be cool to … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles and the Trouble with Girls…
The Coconut Chronicles and The Perils of Back to School Night
This week found us where 99% of families with school aged kids are. Yep, doing the Back to School Shuffle. I can't figure out where the summer went. But it is sadly over although the Texas heat remains. As much as I know I am going to miss my Coconuts, it is time for them … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles and The Perils of Back to School Night
The Coconut Chronicles: Why God Gave Me a Boy
When Coconut #1 was about a year and a half, Hubby and I decided we were doing so well with her (she hadn't been to prison, nor was she hooked on drugs) that we wanted to try for a boy. Like we had a say so in it. Anyway, we prayed and God in His … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles: Why God Gave Me a Boy
The Coconut Chronicles and Deceptions in the Toy Aisle…
I had an entirely different post written and ready to publish. All about mine and Coconut #1's adventure at kids summer camp. And I may post it later. However I ended up having to go on a last-minute shopping trip to Wal-Mart for Coconut #3's birthday celebration tomorrow and I saw something that made me … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles and Deceptions in the Toy Aisle…
The Coconut Chronicles: Journey to the Crazy G
Hanging with the Coconuts is pretty cool. We are in the midst of summer break and I am loving having so much down time to spend with them. However, I must say that this years 4th of July festivities pretty much wore me out. See, we went to the Crazy G Ranch to spend 2 nights with … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles: Journey to the Crazy G
The Coconut Chronicles and the Barbie Nemisis
Warning! Rant Following! I hate Barbie. I realize how strong that word is and I really hate Barbie. I hate her tiny little high heels that end up lost and then mysteriously reappear, impaled into the bottom of my foot at 3am as I make my way to the bathroom. I hate her stupid pink convertible … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles and the Barbie Nemisis
The Coconut Chronicles and the Great Pool Caper
After years of the blow up kiddie pools turned mosquito resorts on our back deck, we decided this year to upgrade and buy one of those large above ground jobbers. Not the ginormous, build a deck around and invite the school basketball team for a swim size but large enough that it came with a … Continue reading The Coconut Chronicles and the Great Pool Caper
