Afternoon tea and flowers delight me almost as much as throwing on a new dress, or seeing a puppy on the street. Yet at the same time- I’m overly assertive of my independence; and my desire to be my own rich husband sometimes gets in the way of me being a “soft” woman to love….

A Breakfast Picnic
I’ve always thought picnics were darling, but picnics in the early morning hours with fluffy pancakes and OJ are pure magic. While I’d love to to take full credit for this idea, it was in fact, my daughter who suggested it. We woke up before sunrise, made a platter full of pancakes and links, cut up…
Sweet Idleness
Dolce far Niente – “The sweetness of doing nothing”. Such a beautiful concept that Italians welcome into daily living. A concept i’ve been falling more and more in love with in recent days. As a woman in pursuit of making living itself an art, I find myself wanting to live more and more like our…
Darling Memo: First Day of Spring 2020
Spring marks her arrival today, officially. Isn’t a lovely thought to know that nothing lasts forever? “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” There is beauty to be found in every season;…
Spring Purge
This week I purged a majority of the costume jewelry and clothes I haven’t worn in ages. Perhaps its a bit of the spring bug that’s hit me. Perhaps it’s just that lately, all I’m interested in is simplifying and curating every part of my life. From what hangs in my closet, to my hobbies,…
30 trips around the Sun
This past January marked another trip around the sun for me.I turned 30 and it hit me hard. It’s a different sensation than what I imagined it would be. I felt a death began to occur within me that day. It sounds rather dark to say that, but I mean it in the most positive…
My Stay at The Marriott at Legacy Town Center
One of my favorite things to do is play tourist in my own hometown. There’s just something about packing for a trip that gets me excited, even when that trip is just a 20 min drive to a neighboring city. Recently, Norberto and I had the surreal pleasure of staying at the Dallas/Plano Marriott at…
Gone with the Summer Wind
My favorite thing about the changing of of the season is reflecting on the memories this past season has brought… and embracing all that is coming. The kids are back in school and pumpkin spice everything is already hitting shelves everywhere, a bit early for my fancies; but it feels like summer is packed up…
End of Summer Beach Trip
This past weekend my little one, Norberto, and I packed up our bags and our puppy and drove south all the way down to Port Aransas. Its almost that time of year when the kids go back to school, and we hadn’t taken a single family trip yet this summer. With Norberto’s busy work schedule,…
Darling Looks: “Walk This Way” Jeans
While its not often I roam around in jeans, when they are as flowy and comfy as these lovely Chicwish jeans are, I make the exception! They are called “Walk this way” and that name is quite fitting as I can practically hear the Aerosmith tune playing as I strut around in them.Shop the Jeans:Walk…
