Good Evening TXK

East Bound and Down

“East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’, A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done.” … It is not likely anyone has grown up in the South and not heard of Smokey and the Bandit before, or better yet, can read those lyrics above without starting to hum, especially if they were alive in the 70s and 80s.

Raising the Parenting White Flag

For the few of you that don’t know, I am a mom of three precious kiddos, ages nine, seven and three.

National Nurse Appreciation Week 2022

Once upon a time, I had big dreams of becoming a writer.

The magazine was going to whisk me off to far-away lands to write stories about interesting people and events that would be historical.
