What does basketball have to do with writing?

March 28, 2024 By Cara Putman

I grew up loving college sports...but football. I'm from Nebraska after all. But when I moved to Indiana, Purdue wasn't very good at football. Drew Brees had graduated and let's just say it wasn't necessarily the glory days. Still I ADORE college football. There's just something about it. And part of that is that Nebraska has been traditionally really bad at college basketball. I went to a … [Read more...]

March 19, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

Well, he's finally doing it. Our little Leo is walking! It's still that drunken sailor sort of gait, but we'll take it. Naturally, he's into everything—and has also taken several falls. All part of learning to walk. But it's such a sweet time. Meanwhile little sister Ari is still getting adjusted to her new world and is a precious little bundle of snuggles. And spit up. : ) I just love … [Read more...]

Do you love moving? Does anyone love moving?? I certainly don't. And yet that joy is looming in our very near future. On one hand, this move is exciting and is a huge blessing! New house, new beginnings, unpacking all the stuff that's been in boxes for the past year. It's like Christmas, remembering all the stuff you forgot you had—and perhaps realizing you should have tossed before you packed … [Read more...]

Happy New Year! (So how late did YOU stay up?)

January 2, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

Happy New Year, friends!  Are you one of those who always stays up after midnight to usher in the New Year? Joe and I actually did this year, but not by design! LOL We just started visiting with all the Alexander clan (lots of extended family came into town), and we had such fun visiting and catching up with everyone that we didn't leave until close to midnight (but were still home just … [Read more...]
