Ever since I was old enough to dress myself, there’s been two pattern prints that have always found a home in my closet: Florals and Stripes. For now, I’ll focus on florals. Because summer is ending, and with it, the hope that Texas will give me permission to break out “fall weather” clothes. I say…

When After-Dinner Cupcakes Become an Unbirthday Party
The other day Katia decided her “after dinner cupcake” would be better enjoyed on the dock over the lake… as part of her unbirthday party. Hi there. “Wanna dance?”“Hmm…I have been practicing this routine…. I think I’ve got it down…” *crowd goes wild* The end.
Chasing Moments in the Sun

I had a dream not long ago that I was walking on a pier. As I walked toward the end of the pier, I saw there were steps that led from the dock right into the water. I began to run towards them, eagerly anticipating how it would feel to jump in. Thoughts of adventure…
Darling Traditions: The Fair
The more I blink, the more my sweet baby girl transforms into a beautiful young lady. So going to the fair when it comes to town seemingly helps me freeze time just a little bit longer. I think that in the end that’s all life asks of us… to find ways to savor all the seemingly…
Honey, I’m Home!
Home. It’s where you wake up every morning and where you lay your head to rest each night. It’s where you run for solace after a bad day. It’s where you have epic shower concerts and where you make French Toast at 3am. Home is where you create some of your best memories and quite…
