Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • I promised y’all a while back that I’d post about my favorite grocery store. This may not be interesting to some of you, but grocery stores are a big deal in the Bless Your Heart house. CSP is a co-manager of one and has been working for that company since 1990. And I worked for…

  • I don’t like the V word. I know it’s the proper name but I don’t like it. And I really don’t like it when toddlers and small children use it. I’m alright when my doctor says it- let’s me know he paid attention in school- but everyone else can just stop right now. So anyway,…

  • Saturday I stopped by the Dollar Store to pick up some nerds on a rope for my Mom. You see, I had to make up a little for an incident. On Thursday when I was at her house giving Morgan a facial I left a bottle of glue there. I had thought glue might would…

  • Saturday my Mama, Papa, & Gmommy came and got me and we went to see Night at the Museum (very cute). We had some Mexican for dinner then met up with Morgan, Sara, Marc, my nephews & a million other children for Joey’s 2nd birthday party at Build a Bear. The next 2 hours were…

  • IKEA is coming to Charlotte! Woohoo! No more multi hour drives to Atlanta just to make exchanges cause I can’t read Swedish! Low priced good tasting coffee for coffee snob CSP! CSP came bounding into our bedroom while I was ironing his clothes this morning to announce that it had been confirmed (rumours have been…

  • First, thank you for all of your support and kind words. It really means a lot to me and CSP. I pass on to CSP the things I learn from y’all and we’ve both come to rely on my bloggy friends as a support system, esp with the adoption. We’re still mulling things over. On…
