Yesterday morning I woke up early because I had to drop Piper and Mabel off at the vet for their annual vaccinations. It was as peaceful as you might imagine. And then I came home to sit on my couch and work on a few projects and realized it was Thursday. I'm not sure where the week went. Yet, here we are and here are some cute things I found this week while I was celebrating America's Read More
Fashion Friday: Edition Happy fourth of July weekend!
Well we got home from the road trip about 6:00 p.m. last night and I think we all agreed this may have been the best trip ever. Mabel and Piper were there to greet Caroline and me at the back gate and, of course Mabel had written a haiku in my absence: "Some dogs like road trips But I wasn't invited I see your dark heart" But she's curled up next to me right now on the couch so I guess Read More
Tales from the road: from educational tours to Magnolia to blue water
So we arrived in Bryan on Monday night, full of various barbecued meats and plans to visit the drive through safari in Franklin, Texas on Tuesday. This wasn't really because we were dying to actually to drive through a large pasture full of camels in Franklin as much as just wanting to do something different than what we've done in the past because the kids had specifically requested that we take Read More
Tales from the road: cold water and the meat sweats
Okay, so first things first, I am so excited that we are working on putting together a launch team for my new book, Church of the Small Things, that comes out this October 3. You can pre-order it here on Amazon or here on B&N. And you can apply to be a part of the launch team by clicking here. The launch team basically helps spread the word about the book on social media and in your Read More
Fashion Friday: Edition it’s officially hot
I believe the heat index for today is going to be somewhere around 108. It really doesn't matter what the specific number is because I'm out when it's anywhere in the 100 range. I will spend my day in the air-conditioning, thank you very much. This week has been busy because I'm still trying to wrap up a bunch of projects, but you know I found time to do some online shopping around. Not to Read More
Because the man bun shouldn’t be a thing
Last night, Caroline, P and I went to go see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 at the Alamo Drafthouse. I can't believe we haven't been there before but I also can't remember the last time the three of us went to see a movie. It's so rare that something is out that we all want to see and I guess when we have a free night we opt for something other than going to the movies. And now I've over-explained it Read More
Fashion Friday: Edition Happy Father’s Day!
We've had a busy few weeks around here but I'm so happy that we're all back in the same house and have some time to just enjoy some summer. We haven't even been to the pool yet. But I plan for all that to change over the next few days. I hope you all have a great Father's Day weekend, even though there is nothing on this list that you can buy your dad. I mean, you could buy it for him but I Read More
The first week and a half of summer
I am not kidding when I tell you that I am making myself sit on my couch write now and catch up on about six hundred and forty things, including writing a blog post. Caroline got out of school at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 1st and I was under some sort of delusion that life would slow down and I would have completed all the projects on my to do list that are under impending deadlines. I Read More
Fashion Friday: Edition if you like pina coladas and dresses
I really didn't mean to go the whole week without posting anything but Caroline and I were in Nashville all week and just got home late Thursday night. I plan to make up for all of my non-writing with lots of writing next week to document the last week of my life. Here's the short version: I've slept in my own bed one night. But I had some time to kill at the Nashville airport and found some Read More
