{Freedom To Be “Me”}
Hi Suede Sofa FriEnDs! Good Monday morning!! It’s been 10 months since Lara and I started this blog and one thing we really endeavor to do it to be real, transparent, and give hope.

ME
The other night my family and I were hanging out after dinner. Doug and my daughter, Leanne, were snuggled up on the couch. I wasn’t really paying attention until I heard Doug ask, “Leanne, what do you want to be when you grow up?” She paused for a second, and then replied, “I want toContinue reading “ME”
{Happily Ever After}
One thing that does my soul good is living in a cLeAn HoUsE. And although I do my best, there are just those days where my house is anything but! In those times I remind myself of the quote by poet Wallace Stevens: “The ImPerFecT is our PaRaDiSe.” The above picture is my version of “HappilyContinue reading “{Happily Ever After}”

Mental Picture
I don’t know how many times I’ve been in a situation where I left my camera at home and I wasn’t able to cAptUre that perfect picture of my kids. I kick myself for not being more prepared, but it seems that even in “prepared” situations, the mOmEnt can pass you by before getting out theContinue reading “Mental Picture”
Can Anyone Hear Me?
I’m writing this post today with a scratch in my throat. No, not a scratch due to a cold, but a scratch due to raising my voice to get my kid’s AttEnTion or tell them they need to stop doing something for the 20th time! Can you relate? I remember my teaching days and how IContinue reading “Can Anyone Hear Me?”
{Ba-Wog}
“I’m taking pictures for my Ba-WoG (blog)” my 3-year old told me as she walked around the house snapping shots with an old camera. Kids just love to ImitAtE Mom and Dad, whether it be dressing up in their clothes, playing house, or talking on a cell phone. It actually is quite cute seeing a littleContinue reading “{Ba-Wog}”
{PAY-BACK}
This is my friend GLeNn. From time to time I bump into him at the fitness center where I work-out and we’ll ChAt a bit. Recently we did just that. Glen talked about his TriPs to Colorado for the summer to get out of the Kansas heat. He owns a camper and makes the drive west to a much cooler climate. Glen’s childrenContinue reading “{PAY-BACK}”
