The day we closed on our house, we had some time to kill before we had to be anywhere, so to celebrate we went to buy our supplies for our concrete countertops, even though we knew it would probably be a couple weeks before we had time to tackle that project, but it wasn’t until … Continue reading
Over dessert at a “Mom’s Night In” a couple weeks ago, some friends and I were talking about “mom stuff”, so cooking inevitably came up in the conversation. A lot of my generation doesn’t cook much in general, I get it. It’s a sign of the times, so to speak. But I know there are … Continue reading
So my baby, he’s not really a baby anymore. He’s turning 4 in two days. Can. Not. Even. Seriously?! How does that happen? Browsing the aisles of Joann’s the other day, I was happy to find some cute dinosaur fabric to use on my little dude’s birthday shirt, because I was beginning to think I was going … Continue reading
I love the Fall. Hands down, my favorite season. All the playing and fun we had this Summer, the memory-making and lack of schedules, trips here and there, enjoying a slower-paced life *most* weeks…it was amazing. But there’s something about the page on my calendar flipping from August to September that cheers my heart! All … Continue reading
Well, obviously life is a little busy right now, so I haven’t had the opportunity to really sit down and blog much, but I’m thankful for some unexpected time this morning to catch up a bit! The transition of running the business in addition to family life and our previous commitments has been easier in … Continue reading
After 5 years and many, many posts about my dad, I’ve debated what I should write about today. Losing him has been an all-encompassing, ever-changing and continual experience; life goes on and we laugh and grow and cry and progress, but the fact that he’s not here living life with us…well, it feels just as … Continue reading
Today we visited one of my personal favorites in the entire DFW metroplex…the Dallas Arboretum! I L.O.V.E this place and every season is different, so it’s worthwhile to go several times a year. My favorite time of year is Autumn — woohoo, it’s almost here —and it’s also the best time at the Arboretum with … Continue reading
Lately, parenthood has been quite…interesting. In less than six weeks, our little 2-year-old will turn into a big 3-year-old. Life has been {more} dramatic, {more} unpredictable and anything but boring! Today, I ran more than usual and I don’t mean for fitness or fun. Hubby and I literally had to chase our child numerous times … Continue reading
I’m overwhelmed this morning with memories of one of the momentous days of my life, but that day, we had no clue it would be forever written on our hearts. My family and I had found ourselves somewhere we’d never anticipated. It was a gorgeous August day in Alaska, one of the most beautiful of … Continue reading
It was a cold, blustery evening in Alaska, a reality that I wasn’t yet re-accustomed to. Not that one can ever really become accustomed to frigid, sub-zero temps, but I had just returned home from Texas and Christmas was less than two weeks away, so I was still in culture shock. I had invited this … Continue reading
