For the next several weeks, I will continue to use Favorite Memories Friday to participate in Mommy’s Piggy Tales challenge to record my youth in 15 posts.

Favorite Memories Friday– a terrifying accusation
So this one is a not-so-Favorite Memory. I’m trying to stick with the assignments from Mommy’s Piggy Tales, though, and this is the week of fifth grade. Fifth grade was the year I was accused of cheating in Social Studies and never wore those plaid gaucho pants and that crisp cotton white blouse ever again.…

Favorite Memories Friday: I LOVED the fourth grade!
It has been a few weeks since I have posted a Favorite Memories Friday feature, and I hope not to skip like that again. I guess I have been too busy making new memories to record many these past few weeks. I haven’t been home for a weekend since October 8. I am soo looking…

Favorite Memories Friday: Celebrating my first Bible in 90 Days victory
About seven years ago I went to my local James Avery store and picked out a gold charm for my charm bracelet. As I paid for it, I had to fight back tears. These were tears of pride, joy and appreciation. I couldn’t help but gush to the sales lady, “I just finished reading the…

Favorite Memories Friday: No AP English homework?
I will never forget one fuzzy yet glorious morning back in high school. Well, sort of in high school… A friend from out of town had flown in to visit and we had a late night out. When I woke, she was still asleep. I didn’t want to wake her, so I slipped out of…

Favorite Memories Friday: The cycling adventure that started it all
At about this time three years ago I started thinking, really thinking, about riding in the MS 150, a two-day bicycle ride from Houston to Austin which raises money for and awareness of Multiple Sclerosis. No, I wasn’t a cyclist at the time. I think I had been on a bicycle 5 times since the…

Favorite Memories Friday: Roller Skating

Favorite Memories Friday: Coming Soon to MomsToolbox.com
I love to reminisce. I love to get all dreamy-eyed and talk about my favorite memories… Sometimes it makes my husband a little crazy. Every time we drive near where I lived as a child, I start getting all nostalgic. I talk about eating Jelly Bellies and dots during sleepovers, getting my braces tightened, riding…
