Willie Nelson’s song about not letting our babies grow up to be cowboys has always been a favorite of mine, even though I’m not much of a fan of country music.
What is it about a vacation?

July in Georgia. This is just about the time that many of us are packing up the kids and heading for a beach somewhere down south.

I feel sure that I have shared this fact before, but for the record, I’ll do it again. I am a mom. My husband and I have four children, all of them now in their twenties.

Are there rules for dating your daughter?

We remember with tenderness and pure love the day that our babies are born, don’t we? Little girls, little boys…it really doesn’t matter. They were our sweet, precious, innocent little miracles. Their entire lives stretched out before them, all promise and perfection.
The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up, and the air is so thick with humidity that it feels like you could slice it with a knife. Yes, Georgia summers can be brutal but around here, in Gwinnett County, the weather is only half the story at this time of year.
It’s a jungle in here
