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...

Blogs from the past
Today's BLOGtober fest challenge is to post, re-post or revisit blog posts from the past. So, I thought I would do a Top 5: (not sure the definition to create my "Top 5", not necessarily the most popular, most liked, or most visited - but maybe for me,...
BLOGtober fest: Traditions
So, today's topic is Fall Traditions. I feel like rather than talk about our specific traditions, I thought I would instead tackle the topic of TRADITIONS. I'm a product of a traditional environment; in every sense of the word. I personally believe that...
