A few months ago Ben announced that the bacon I cooked with his Saturday morning breakfast was the perfect degree of floppiness. At the end of that day, it occurred to me that (as I suspected it might be) perfectly floppy bacon had been my greatest achievement that day. Sometimes it’s the little things.
Perfectly Floppy Bacon and Other Impressive Feats will be a glimpse of Heagler Family life – a place where I don’t have to reduce my musings to a Facebook status containing 420 characters or less or a Note than can only be viewed by my Facebook friends. To those of you who encouraged me to do this, I hope I won’t let you down and I hope you’ll never be sorry you said this was a good idea. Be careful what you wish for!
If there’s anyone out there reading who doesn’t know us, read on and come back often. We'll be old friends before you know it.
Perfectly Floppy Bacon and Other Impressive Feats will be about messages written in the dust on my end-tables, raising kids and drinking (a lot of) wine. About “going Southern”, my beloved Boozey Mommies, the horrors of dating as a 40+-year-old single mom, trying on hats, the rocks in my pockets, pick-me-up hugs and never-minding. It will be about tough love, hope, lots and lots of laughter and maybe a little inspiration along the way. And it will sometimes be about autism and its impact on our family.
Let me know what you think. Tell me if you like it and please tell me when I get it wrong. Thanks for reading. Cheers!
