The holiday season is always a busy and delightful one. I enjoy opening up our home to family members, their children and grandkids. Our grandkids are growing older, so several of them are seriously dating others, and we do our best to accommodate everyone. Almost 30...
John and I are tired of taking care of the yard, trimming, planting, spraying for weeds and yes, even killing garter snakes. It’s not that we don’t want to do it, but it seems to be taking us more and more time to accomplish our tasks. We take care of all the...
Nearly five years later, I can still vividly see my mom at her quilting machine. Perfectly piecing together different colors of fabric and swiftly moving them through the sewing machine. I can remember seeing my aunts’ watery eyes glisten when they opened a quilt...
It’s November 1 and the Walmart toy catalog has arrived. You look and see that things have already been circled and an entire page has a large circle around every toy. This is what happens every year. The toys wanted are circled with my kids’ names next to them, so I...
Generosity. As defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary: characterized by a noble or kindly spirit; having an abundance. As we begin this holiday season, this third season without my mom, I can feel the presence of my mom working through my hands and my heart....
When your grandkids are older, you no longer ask their parents what they’d like for Christmas and birthdays; you go straight to the source.

Growing up, I was required to write thank you notes for all my birthdays. My grandma would always call after my birthday and ask if I’d gotten her card in the mail. I always felt awful if I didn’t acknowledge her with a phone call or note.
This year, I got a tremendous surprise. I opened a small gift bag and the card said my birthday gift was outside the garage. I went out the door and saw a big red wooden box labeled “Little Free Library.”
I wanted Cabbage Patch Kids. My husband wanted Teddy Ruxpin. And there were toys like Lite-Brite, Garfield, Casey the Talking Robot and Care Bears!
When my daughter was about three years old, she and my mother, Meme (her name for her grandma), were very close. Even though my mother lives in Arkansas, we spent quite a bit of time with her and my dad.
As we enter this very special time of year, I thought it might be fun to share a Dermatologist version of Oprah’s favorites! And of course, when buying for others, drop one in the Bryan Lifepointe Spa shopping basket for yourself!
