The Huggards: January 2010
http://thehuggardhome.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. A big hill of red sand and my kids want roll down it, slide down it and JUMP down it. The contest became- THE LONGEST JUMP! Judging from the pictures, who do you think won? Can't you see all the air that I got! We had great fun and the kids got some great exercise. Chase and Wade decided that the farther you run, the higher you jump, so they ended up running quite a distance before hitting the hill. Oh, and don't forget to check out the hot photographer on the rocks! Grandpa Hug...

The Huggards: November 2010
http://thehuggardhome.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. MAKE EACH DAY YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE! It's the little things that bring happiness-like decorating the Christmas tree. It was so fun to see the excitment of these three kids as they made our tree into their masterpiece. How many people have to use 9 foot ladders to decorate the tree? James lives by the rule, "Don't short yourself in the land of the plenty! That goes for our Christmas tree every year! Posing for a picture with Santa! The best gift ever, if being together! For Thank...

confessions from Tara: Oh, to be in England
http://confessionsfromtara.blogspot.com/2015/02/oh-to-be-in-england.html
Sunday, February 1, 2015. Oh, to be in England. I went to London last week, somewhere that I've not been for nigh unto 20 years. It was.painful, beautiful, exciting, depressing and altogether beautiful. I was young, single and college educated. I had the world at my feet and I could do anything, and London is a good place to be when you feel like you can conquer the world. Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster. Complicated, elaborate, overblown gothic perfection. And it sneaks up on you ou...Londo...

confessions from Tara: April 2014
http://confessionsfromtara.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. You cannot protect yourself from sadness without also protecting yourself from happiness. Two blog posts this close together? Aren't you all lucky folk. Not only that, neither one is depressing! I'm on a roll! All that being said, though, it is inexpensive and very cute and suits me and the Small One quite well. In fact, I let her help me choose it. She liked it because it looks like our old house. Here, for your viewing enjoyment, are some before and after pics of my projects.

confessions from Tara: Bootstraps
http://confessionsfromtara.blogspot.com/2015/03/bootstraps.html
Sunday, March 1, 2015. I cannot handle it anymore, so here I go, ranting on my blog. If you aren't interested in my soap box, stop reading now and go look at pictures of kittens. Well, yes, it does! Because part of what we believe to be our calling and responsibility on this earth is to bring souls to God. Hard to bring souls to God when we look like a hateful, small minded bunch of bigots. In case you want to know what some of the vitriol was. The Church is much better off without her. Women who ask abo...

confessions from Tara: HEY
http://confessionsfromtara.blogspot.com/2014/11/hey.html
Saturday, November 1, 2014. Oh, hey, it's me. The laziest blogger in the history of ever. I have thoughts for posts flit through my head all the time, but most of them never make it onto this blog, for a variety of reasons. The top one, though, is that I'm lazy about writing. Or maybe I'm just too busy, I mean, I have lots going on! Yes, that's it. Busy. Anyway, I worked today, at work (see? There is a possibility that I procrastinate sometimes. Don't judge. I'M BUSY. If I have to give up something, I'll...

confessions from Tara: Anxiety
http://confessionsfromtara.blogspot.com/2015/01/anxiety.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. If you love me, you should read this. Hell, if you don't love me, you should read this, because you probably know and love someone with this problem. 9 things I wish people understood about anxiety. 9 really gets me. I know how much I can exhaust those close to me. I know what a pain in the ass I am. So, I tend to keep to myself or try to focus on the other person, because wearing out someone that you love is really hard on one's self-esteem. January 30, 2015 at 10:35 PM. Bridge...

http://thehuggardhome.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. These simple traditions are oh so great. You can never grow too old to enjoy carving pumpkins. There is just something about hay and work and farms that is down right FUN! I can't explain it! It isn't fun to to do houseWORK, it isn't fun to do yardWORK, but it is fun to haul hay! It's fun to climb on the stack when it's done and it's fun to ride on the stack back home. I'ts even fun to see if your strong enough to throw the bale of hay where it needs to go. It was the most amaz...

The Huggards: July 2010
http://thehuggardhome.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. So my little guy is turning 5! I seriously can't believe how big he is! He is starting kindergarten and just growing up way too fast! Chase is such a sweetie. He is one that always says "Thank you" to everything that you do. He is the one that is so glad to see you after you've been gone (even if it is only for 1/2 hour). He gives the best hugs and the best kisses. He also LOVES baseball. He has quite the determined faces when he hits and runs the bases. Laser tag, and sleeping at ...
