Fashion Friday: Edition it’s a three day weekend and I’m not mad about it

Diary, Fashion

That's right. We have a three day weekend because today is a holiday in San Antonio. There's a big parade called Battle of Flowers to honor the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto and so the kids don't have school. I will not be going to the parade. Caroline and I plan to celebrate by going shopping and maybe getting pedicures. Anyway, here are a few cute things I found this Read More

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 103

Diary, Podcast

This is the emergency episode that we recorded in light of the new royal baby. I also feel that since it is now almost midnight on Wednesday night as I post this, and there is still no official word on the name, that my theory about an ongoing argument about the name between Kate and William is a real thing. Stay strong, Kate. I trust your baby name judgement, even though I don't trust that you Read More

Life in general: A not so brief retrospective of the last seven days

Another day

Listen. I don't know where the time goes. I just know that I look up and another week has gone by and a new one is starting, I feel like Caroline when she was a toddler and threw huge fits and then would look up at us after she calmed down and say, "Happen? Happen?" What happened was you lost your dang mind because the straw to your juice box broke. Kid, I'm sorry about your level 10 Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s been a full week

Diary, Fashion

Y'all. It has been a week around here. We've had a lot going on and I'll tell you all about it next week. It's just been one of those weeks where I kept thinking I was going to have time to write and then it just never happened. Anyway, here's a quick Mother's Day gift idea just in case you need one. I believe that my love of all things Hummingbird Farms lavender is well-documented at Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition headed to Aggieland

Diary, Fashion

That's right. I'm so excited because I'm picking Caroline up after school and we're headed straight to College Station with Gulley and her family for the maroon and white game on Saturday, which is the Texas A&M spring football game. It will essentially help us survive these long, torturous months before college football starts up again. Plus it will just be fun to hang out with friends and Read More

Book releases and ovens that won’t come clean

Another day, Books

Listen. I don't even know what to say about how y'all have supported Everyday Holy. It means the world to Richard and me. I mean, look what you made happen. I posted that picture on Instagram along with this caption about Richard wanting to rename the devotional book Richard Calling since Jesus Calling is pretty much the bestselling devotional book of all time. And then look Read More

Everyday Holy

Books, Diary

So I have a new book out today. And it's weird because I keep forgetting about it. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I feel like I was just doing all this with Church of the Small Things and now here I am again. Or maybe it's because it's mid-April and we're just in that crazy downhill run to the end of the school year. Or maybe it's because Cardi B. is pregnant and I'm just focusing on Read More
