We painted a wall and it leaved me tired (pun intended)

Another day

Well, we had a nice Spring Break. I'm only sad that it didn't last about a week or six longer. Caroline and I went to Austin to spend the night and shop on Sunday and Monday and then we had big plans to paint her room the rest of the week. (Side note just because many of you have asked: The MRI on her foot showed that it's not a stress fracture, but she did manage to bruise every single bone Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition the end of Spring Break

Fashion

Well, I'm not sure how this week went so fast, but I think some of it had to do with the fact that we spent three days painting Caroline's bedroom. I put up a picture of it last night on Instagram, but I'll write a post about it next week after I've recovered. And now we're leaving today to spend the weekend in College Station with Gulley and Jackson at Honey and Big's house and to watch a Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s Spring Break

Diary, Fashion

That's right. As of the end of school today we are officially kicking off Spring Break 2019. I'm going to start it off by heating up heavily processed nacho cheese in the high school stadium concession stand as I work my shift before the soccer game. It's really all I dreamed Spring Break would be once I was an adult. Robert Earl Keen was right, "The road goes on forever and the party and the Read More

Thursday Things, Edition 5

Another day

Spring Break officially starts for us on Friday and we are limping to the finish line. I supposed it's because January and February were each about 164 days long and that just begins to wear on a person. Then I had to take Caroline to the doctor yesterday because we think she may have a stress fracture in her foot and now we're going to get an MRI later today to try to figure out what's going on.

Fashion Friday: Edition a lot of red for March 1

Diary, Fashion

Well, when I looked back over everything I picked out this week it appears the theme is red. I don't know how that happened but I guess I'm currently in a place of wanting some bright colors. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. moon child maxi top I know the trends are tilting towards shirts tucked in with a belt and that's fine but, in my heart, I am team tunic forever.

Thursday Things, Edition 4

Another day

Well, I'm not going to lie. When I realized we were already to Thursday, I was both elated and freaked out because I'd forgotten to make notes about things to share this week. However, I quickly used my last few remaining brain cells to recall some things I wanted to share with you and here they are in numerical format. 1. mind blowing easy kale salad There's a restaurant here in San Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it has been a long short week

Fashion

On Monday, I felt so optimistic about this week because it was only going to be a four day week due to the President's Day holiday. That was such an optimistic and sweet time. Then I flew to Dallas on Tuesday and went through having my flight home cancelled on Wednesday. And then Thursday looked at Wednesday and said, "Hold my beer" because P called me while I was at the airport returning the Read More
