Advent: Christmas Music
Today is all about the "sounds of the season". What does your dream soundtrack for Christmas sound like? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For me, its not Christmas until I've heard O Holy Night sung live! And,...
Heart of Christmas Blog Challenge
This past weekend while I was driving home from Thanksgiving, I picked up a random Christmas station that was playing this song. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ASJktrBObrI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> I know I've heard it before and I have for sure seen the...
turning the wheel
Yesterday, I posted about my awesome weekend with my friend Kate in Tulsa. While watching her complete her marathon, I saw this guy not too far in front of her. One of the interesting things with supporting a person in a marathon is that you begin to see the...
tulsa marathon
This weekend, I took a much needed hiatus to Tulsa to watch my friend Kate complete her 5th marathon....yes, I said 5th. Every time she says this is my last for a while...like 365 days ago!! It was the Route 66 Marathon.  She did awesome. ...
I need thee oh I need thee
I woke up this morning with snot rags in my sheets. Which, I'm guessing is a sign of a rough night and that it was. Without going into details and trying to draw sympathy votes I want to say this. I mourned. Part 3 of the bigpittstop is documenting the journey of a...
Halloween Hangover
After seeing all the pictures last night on facebook of all my friends babies, I had to ask my dad to guest post the story of my first Halloween. While I was there, lets be honest no one really remembers their first Halloween. However the "messy" story...
A Haunting view
I'm going to go ahead and say now...you know i'm right! I had no idea how much science goes in to the trick-or-treating process. You have to be home and ready at 5 or earlier so the kids can get out before dark. And, in some cities if you live on "Halloween Alley"...
Sunday drive
Many have posted this weekend about the fall foliage in this part of Arkansas and after my Sunday, I had to jump in the mix. As I drove Hwy 7 on Sunday North from Russellville, I was amazed at every winding turn in the road. Seriously, there are some...
food for thought
Gotcha....this one is not a recipe. I guess its a recipe for something, but not like the others ones I've shared this week. I've come across a couple articles this week that I thought I would share. What Successful People Do with the FIRST Hour...
Homemade Marinara
Yesterday, I posted about the Sausage, Spinach and Ricotta Calzones that I made over the weekend. I was completely inspired by an episode of Pioneer Woman that I watched on Saturday. But, I couldn't just make the calzones without something homemade to dip them in....
Spinach, Sausage, and Ricotta Calzone
Spinach, Sausage and Ricotta Calzone - sounds like a perfectly simple Saturday after, right? You see, what had happened was. After I got home from our Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk yesterday morning and spending the afternoon with my aunt and uncle at...
like mama made it
Today is the last day of the BLOGtober Fest challenge with the Arkansas Women Bloggers. And, today is all about fall recipes. I've really wrestled with which ones to include. So, I'll go with a variety of things from my memory, mom's recipes, must...
