My name is Donna McBroom-Theriot and I started this blog as a testament to life; an ordinary life, my life. There is nothing unique about my life, except for the fact that it is-my life. I wanted to create a written record of my journey, something that said I was here, that I existed; that perhaps I made a difference. I wanted to make people think, make them laugh, perhaps even make them cry. You are welcome to journey along with me and hopefully be inspired to document your own journey.I am married to a wonderful man who is also my best friend. We have four children together, Ashley, Katie-Beth, Joshua and Jeremy. We live in South Louisiana (with the exception of Katie who currently resides in New York City.)
I am fortunate to live along one of the lazy bayous that run through South Louisiana. For the most part life is quiet, but then again, you never know. When I’m out running around, all sorts of things are apt to happen and then new stories appear on my blog. I try to have fun with my posts.
I usually have no shortage of topics since my life seems to resemble one huge “Lucy” moment after another. I found a great quote that I just had to add: “Deep in my heart, I know there’s no promise I’ll be free from trouble in this life. In fact, I’m usually either getting out of trouble, currently in trouble, or about to meet trouble around the next corner.”.
A little about me. I love to organize. In fact, I am a chronic organizer. I am an obsessed organizer. When my husband leaves for the hunting camp, my mind has a mind of its own. The minute he gets to the highway, I am already into deep clean-out, re-organize mode. I haven’t quite been able to put my finger on why I react this way. I would love to just sit down with a good book, which is what I do after I’ve organized something. But, it would be nice to sit down first!
I also love to bake. I took cake decorating classes a few years ago as sort of a self-imposed therapy. It was great fun and just writing that last sentence stirred up some pretty hilarious memories of that phase of my life (and some since.) I’ll have to blog on it (through the laughter and tears!) I bake a lot of cupcakes. I seem to prefer those little bits of heaven that you keep all to yourself rather than a huge cake. I also enjoy baking and decorating sugar cookies. I think the best part of cookie baking is the look of pure ecstasy on someone’s face when they get their first glimpse of the finished product.
I am an avid book reader and just purchased a Kindle. This is a great product for me since I have never left home without a book, magazine, and folder of “to be read” articles in my bag. My bag is so much lighter now, and I love having Scrabble at my fingertips 24/7.
These are a few things about me. I will no doubt be tweaking this page quite often as I find new interests.
I hope that you visit often and enjoy the stories that you read. I love hearing from my followers so please leave a comment, your own blog page (to promote yourself and so I can visit you,) and a little information about yourself. Thanks for visiting and come again!

Hi Donna,
I came over from Darlene Foster’s blog. Darlene and I were both contributors to the same anthology last year and have *met* as a result of it. My first YA novel was published a few years back and I’m hard at work on another one. As you can imagine I’m a also a book lover. There’s never a time when I’m not reading something. Haven’t taken the plunge and bought an ereader though, but one never knows what the future holds in store. You can find my blog @ lauraabest.wordpress.com come over and visit if you get the chance.
