Between moving, a new job (well, an old job, but with new clients), and class homework, there’s been little time to blog around Belly Acres.  There are certain perks to all the changes, though.  Spring time brings out the cuddly critters.  🙂

Well, okay.  Not really, but I’m workin’ on it. Y’all know I’m not much for entering contests, but THIS one is special.  Joshilyn Jackson, author of Gods in Alabama is running a contest for the remaining fox figurines she had her brother create, originally, as gifts for people at her publishing house and the booksellers […]

The Donate and Drive ‘Dega fundraiser Mother’s Day weekend raised a lot of adrenaline while raising a lot of money for the Red Cross / Alabama Tornado Victims.

We’ll have to wait […]

Oh, this just HAS to go to the top of the Easter activities list!  Fun!!!

Well, maybe not “define,” but I do think our favorite childhood books influence us throughout life.  Apparently, FlavorWire does, too.  Read the article, here. Of course, FlavorWire’s is not a comprehensive list.  (That could be a book by itself.)  I did find a couple of things interesting, though. 1.  My Favorite on the List. The […]

No Shutdown images are flying all over Facebook, but this one is my absolute favorite.
