Welcome to my front porch!

I'm Donna!! A modern country girl with city girl tastes. Love turned my eyes and heart from the bright lights of the New York City skyline to the bright lights of a black star-filled Kentucky sky. I fell in love with my country boy husband 11 years ago and never looked back.

Nowadays, I spend my my time chasing our 3 rugrats, Hunter, Emily and Zoe, balancing the checkbook, the budget, the kid's schedules, decorating our home, and cooking those down home meals my family loves. I LOVE every minute of it and wouldn't change a thing.

So, pull up a comfy chair, grab a glass of sweet tea, sit back, relax and ENJOY!!!

Sickness

As a mom, being sick is the pits. Over the last 7 days I've suffered from a severe attack of CuTS or Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and now I'm on day 4 of the flu. Why or why did I have to get on top of it.

My only saving grace has been my Country Boy. He's laid off right, don't worry, it's the life of a Boilermaker. Anyway, Country Boy has been taking pretty good care of me. Hopefully, I'll be back on my feet soon.

My New Love, Twilight Fan Fiction

So, I've been a Twilight fan since picking up the first book last Fall. I read all four books with in about 40 hours. I saw the movie the Saturday it opened. A snow/ice storm kept me from making the 45 min drive to see the midnight showing.

Lately, I've been absorbed into the world of Twilight fanfiction. So much so that I am now writing one of my own.

Desperation is an alternative universe, all human story. Bella is a country music star and she's desperate for some normalcy. She moves back to her dad's and has to learn how to cope with fame, fortune and siblings. When she meets the guy of her dreams she thinks she'll finally have a chance at happiness, but things don't always go as planned.

So, hop on over to Fanfiction.net and check out Desperation! Be sure to leave me some love and happy reading.

He did it again.

My oldest rugrat never ceases to amaze me. Tonight he walked into the county board of education and walked back out the County Spelling Bee Champion. He spelled "spurious" to win. This time he was going up against 7 other elementary school students and 2 middle schoolers, one of which is an 8th grader.

Next stop on the Spelling Bee circuit? Louisville, KY on March 14th for the Kentucky Derby Festival Spelling Bee, where the winner takes home a Grand Prize of $5000!!!

Wish us lots of luck.
