Welcome!

Welcome to Smithellaneous Classic. Make yourself at home.

If you're looking for a particular post, use the search window in the top-left corner of the blog, or the subject menu midway down the right column. 

This blog is no longer updated and houses all of my older, classic posts.  When you're done looking around here, feel free to head over to Smithellaneous, where I post weekly.

Swooning and Bicycles and Goodbyes

Okay.  I’m still working over at the new blog (smithellaneous.com) but it takes me forever to figure out how to post there and I still have no idea how to add pictures.  So for the  next few days, I’ll continue to post here while getting everything figured out.

A Merry Charlotte Christmas

Just a quick reminder that Smithellaneous will be off line a couple days starting tomorrow as we make the move to a new hosting site.
If I’m not back up and running by Monday, just assume that I’m in the corner of our bedroom in the fetal position trying to cope with
the sad fact that technology has gotten the best of me.  Oh. And also please send chocolate.

Nine years ago this month, I started blogging.

Wedding Wednesday: The Manteo Edition

Okay. So here’s the deal.  

I announced a couple weeks ago that Wedding Wednesdays would be coming to a close because I was running short on official wedding pictures to post.   But I have some good news on that front.

Turn Off Twitter. And Don’t Clean The House.

The title of this post is taken from an article I read earlier this morning by Anne Lamott, a fabulous, incredible writer.    I don’t usually make posts of other people’s writing, but since we’re at the beginning of a new year and since this article by Anne impacted me so deeply, I want to share it with you all.
