Eighteen years ago, my niece Samantha Kay was born. I was twenty-six and I had probably spent less than a total of five hours around babies. I never baby-sat. I was always too busy playing sports. And then on January 26, 1994, my life forever changed. I was Sam’s first baby-sitter. Thanks to me, her […]

There is this new word in the dictionary…
January 23rd, 2012 
LeeAnn Due to the year-end rush at work, the holidays and travel, I got behind on my visits to my chiropractor. Last Thursday, about mid-day, my lower back sent me a clear message that it was going to ruin my weekend if I did not address it. FAST. So on Friday, I went to see my chiropractor, Dr. […]
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; My History with English Bulldogs
January 10th, 2012 LeeAnn If you know me or have been a regular reader of my blog, you know that I love English Bulldogs. As you can see in this post, In Celebration of our Faithful Companions, I grew up with them. Bullies literally make me weak in the knees. There is nothing cuter than an English bulldog puppy. […]
Pressing Reset
December 28th, 2011 LeeAnn That is what I am doing this last week of 2011 – pressing my reset button. This was a busy and stressful year-end for me, and when I get stressed I tend to develop some unhealthy habits. I have taken this week off and am attempting to rest, relax and regain my perspective. We are […]
The Importance of Kindness
December 17th, 2011 LeeAnn Kindness is extremely important to me. It is the trait that I most admire in people. My husband’s kindness was what first attracted me to him. It is how I want to be treated by others. Ironically, I think people being unkind to me at various times has made me a kinder person. For the most part, I […]
Surviving December
December 6th, 2011 LeeAnn December is somewhat tortuous for me. The type of law I practice (commercial finance) is extremely busy around year-end. Everyone, for various reasons, wants to get the deal closed before January 1st. While the poor economy has significantly slowed down the volume of my work (which is not necessarily a bad thing), there is still a year-end push. […]
In Celebration of our Faithful Companions
November 24th, 2011 LeeAnn I am so thankful for my many blessings – including my husband (we are celebrating our twelfth anniversary this weekend), my parents, my family (including my husband’s amazing family) and my incredible friends. Despite this, I have really struggled with this Thanksgiving post as I have friends and acquaintances who are alone and having difficulties this […]
Oprah’s and My Favorite Things
November 17th, 2011 LeeAnn Fall is in the air, even in Savannah (kind of, sort of – it is eighty degrees today). For many of you, this may evoke thoughts of changing colors in the leaves, pumpkins, crisp clean air and winter clothing. Not me. I start to wonder what Oprah Winfrey is going to have on her Favorite […]
Catching My Breath
November 7th, 2011 LeeAnn Life in Savannah has been a little crazy lately. I have been busy at work and the city of Savannah itself has been bustling. This weekend marked the end of the Savannah Film Festival, which is a week-long festival that has gained a lot of attention and praise in the entertainment industry. It is hosted […]

3 Comments »My Recent Epiphanies
November 3rd, 2011 LeeAnn I have had several epiphanies lately. A couple of weeks ago, I had to drive to the mountains on a Friday to meet dear friends who were coming for the weekend. I was sick with a bad cold and my work was crazy busy. I didn’t want to miss seeing my friends, though, and my husband […]
