I Will Be A Hummingbird

I am planning to do work on a different layout here at Read & Tell Me.  I am not sure what direction I will go, but I feel the need for a change.  I just about spent some time working on the banner this week, when I read about the death of Wangari Maathai. This amazing [...]

Like roomies, but without sharing a bathroom!

I am no longer going to post links to Read and Tell Me (R&TM) on my personal Facebook account. I am ready to move forward with this blog and get away from using it as a way to update family on the kiddos.  When R&TM started, my readers came from all over the country.  I [...]

….the one reason.

I absolutely love my life.  But, I am the first one to say that it is not easy.  So much has happened to shape me into the person, the mother, the wife, the sister and the friend that I am.  I am learning each day to be thankful instead of hurt and angry.  I have [...]

It’s a GO!

  Registration approved. Airline tickets purchased. Hotel confirmed. It is official…..I am going to Blogher 11.  I am so lucky to have an aunt that is very supportive of all of my Blog-mania.  So, when she invited me to go to the 2011 Blogher conference, I had to say yes.  Did I mention it is [...]

Earth Day Beauty

I have posted and intended to post something special for Earth Day every year.  Spring is such a busy time of the year, this no different than the past, and Earth Day often sneaks by me with very little note.  This year, however, I was prepared.  I had a lot of ideas.  I love to [...]

What a long stange trip it’s been

real-floating-balloon-home

We survived Spring Break 2011……barely, but we are still here.  We had no major plans from Spring Break….the zoo, the yard, some movies.  Then, disaster struck.  My usually very healthy family broke down, piece by piece.  It started with Big Guy, then Little Guy, then Law Man……and finally, after I had convinced myself and everyone [...]

Happy Birthday Lucye…the original

Today my Nanny…..my maternal grandmother, Lucye, would be 88 years old.  I love her so much and it is so much fun to have our little Lucye bird to remember her every time we say her name.  Nanny was so much fun.  She used to go on a lot of vacations with us, we stayed [...]

Just in case you need another reason to learn to Knit

Life is going by way too quickly.  I have been a bit distracted by the births of a new Nephew in February and a new Niece in March.  Both babies and moms are doing great, but I am sooooo far behind.  I have been in auntie fog I suppose.  More of new baby stuff later, [...]

Where would you do it?

As the weather is warming up, my mind is fixated on the same thing. I want to do it at a park, on a busy street, maybe a median, for sure in a field and on top of a mountain. I have done it in a couple of art galleries, a history museum, and the [...]

I Steal Them

I recently heard and interview with some creative type on a podcast, I assume.  Yes, that is all I remember about where I heard this….but, the comment that stuck with me was in response to, “Where do you get your ideas?” the creative type said….I steal them from others….is there really such thing as a [...]
