Welcome to my front porch!

Hi! I'm Donna! I grew up sitting on the front porch drinking iced tea and spending time with friends and family. Welcome to my front porch. Pull up a comfy chair, grab a glass of tea, sit back, relax and ENJOY!!!

He did it again.

My oldest rugrat never ceases to amaze me. Tonight he walked into the county board of education and walked back out the County Spelling Bee Champion. He spelled "spurious" to win. This time he was going up against 7 other elementary school students and 2 middle schoolers, one of which is an 8th grader.

Next stop on the Spelling Bee circuit? Louisville, KY on March 14th for the Kentucky Derby Festival Spelling Bee, where the winner takes home a Grand Prize of $5000!!!

Wish us lots of luck.

Hunter-isms

According to my oldest rugrat, "A world without football, is like a taco without meat!"

LOL!! I laughed my behind off. Not actually. Wish it was that easy, don't you?

Happy 9th Birthday, Hunter!!

It completely throws me for a loop everytime I realize that I am now a mother to a 9 year old boy. It seems like just yesterday that he was a newborn cuddled against my chest sleeping. Which, by the way, was the only place the little snot would sleep. So, we spent the first month in the recliner. Him cuddled between my breasts sleeping. Oh, how embarassed he'd be if he knew this. LOL!! I think I just stumbled on a way to pull one of those totally humiliating motherhood moments on him when he brings home that first girlfriend.

Motherhood is an incredible journey. One that I wish everyone could be blessed to take.
