It Ain’t Out There

Last updated on: May 17, 2011 at 3:58 pm By Sarah Babbs

I remember a post that Jen wrote once (I would link to it, but something odd seems to be happening over there today and I can’t get to the page), (I found it — success!) where she talked about reaching the conclusion, that “whatever you think is out there ain’t out there”. What does this have to do with anything? Maybe it’s just the cycle day 1 bloat talking, but man do I feel like I’m missing the boat sometimes.... Read more

Going to Graceland?

Last updated on: May 12, 2011 at 12:47 pm By Sarah Babbs

Well, not really. But I am going to Tennessee, for my S-I-L’s graduation from Business School. We’ll be partying it up in Nashville like country stars for sure. Well, country stars with a four-month old! As for me, I’m excited to eat at the Loveless Cafe, and maybe see the Grand Ol’ Oprey. Hope you all have a great weekend! Read more

The Mean Reds

Last updated on: May 10, 2011 at 5:08 pm By Sarah Babbs

“The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of.” – Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany’s Today I have the Mean Reds. It’s one of those days, where my biggest fear – that every bad thing I’ve ever though about myself is true – feels so very, very true. It’s one of those days when I look in the mirror and think, “Ugh. I am never going to lose this baby weight and I... Read more

Finding My Style

Last updated on: May 9, 2011 at 9:00 am By Sarah Babbs

“Fashion changes, but style endures.” -Coco Chanel I’ve always been a clothes horse. When I was a toddler, my favorite things to do, according to my family, was to pull all of my clothing off the changing table, put on as much as I could at once, then put on a “fashion show” for my parents. They should have known then they were in for a treat! Fast forward a few years, and I still love my clothes as much... Read more

7 Quick Takes Friday!

Last updated on: May 6, 2011 at 9:00 am By Sarah Babbs

7. It’s Mother’s Day this weekend, which is extra-exciting this year, since it will be my first one as a mother with a baby, as opposed to the Mother’s Day after I miscarried, and last year, when I was newly pregnant with Maggie. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted, and then it came to me: to go for brunch at my favorite restaurant.ever. The Loft at Traders Point Creamery TPC was the first 100% organic, grass-fed dairy farm in... Read more

Practice Resurrection

Last updated on: May 5, 2011 at 10:44 am By Sarah Babbs

So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in... Read more

Vocation Lessons?

Last updated on: May 2, 2011 at 9:00 am By Sarah Babbs

So I’ve been thinking lately. I know, dangerous, right? Well, in most of the professions, there’s a little thing called “professional development”. Basically, professional development is the call for people in professional careers to be lifelong learners. To continue taking classes, attending seminars, and growing in their professional knowledge so they can continue successfully as lawyers, doctors, business people, teachers, etc. So I was thinking, why should it be any different for an at-home wife and parent? Isn’t this my... Read more

7 Quick Takes — Royal Wedding Edition

Last updated on: April 29, 2011 at 6:00 am By Sarah Babbs

Before you groan and click away, how can you groan and click away? This whole royal wedding thing is so exciting. A real prince, who is someday going to be a king, is about to marry a “commoner.” His college sweetheart, not some arranged marriage to a woman he’s never met! I’d call that progress. So in honor of progress, and my 8th grade super-crush on Wills my quick takes this week are dedicated to all things Royal wedding. 7.... Read more
