The Big Boo Cast: Episode 133

Diary, Podcast

I had fully planned on posting a Thursday Things post today but I was in Dallas for a speaking event at Liberty Christian School yesterday. I was supposed to fly out of D/FW on a 2:53 flight right after the event so I could get home in time for Caroline's soccer game. Except American Airlines decided to cancel the flight. Why? Because the plane was broken. And so they cancelled my flight and Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition three day weekends are my favorite

Fashion

Well, we are limping to the finish line this week after a week of Nyquil and all manner of immunity boosting supplements. And so I'm thankful for a three day weekend to have some time to recover and also wash everything in the house down with bleach in the hopes that P and I don't get sick now. Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week: 1. all things new suede and turquoise wrap Read More

Thursday Things

Another day

I almost forgot that it was Thursday because I picked Caroline up at school early on Tuesday because she wasn't feeling good and she was home all day yesterday and this essentially caused me to lose track of what day it was and where we are in the week. But then I ran to HEB on Wednesday to pick up some medicine for her and realized it was the day before Valentine's Day because the store was Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition I needed a cold front

Diary, Fashion

It has been warm and cloudy here all week long and I was finding the whole thing incredibly depressing because it's just that yuck kind of weather that won't commit to being a rainy day yet the sun won't shine either. But yesterday morning the beautiful North breeze began to blow and at least now it's cloudy and cold, which is what I prefer February to be. Do not make me have to think about Read More

Thursday Things Edition 2

Another day

What? Two weeks in a row? I think I smell a regular feature. And, as it turns out, it's pretty easy to come up with some things to share when you make notes in your phone all week about things you want to remember to tell people. So here are some of those things: 1. julian's pretzel baguette Gulley told me about this pretzel baguette a year ago and I was like "Okay, sure" and then I Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition I have a cold and possibly the plague

Fashion

I'm going to get right to the point because I am ready to take some Nyquil and get in the bed. Caroline had a cold all last week and, naturally, now I have it in spite of all the precautions I took to make sure that didn't happen. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. free people kiss kiss tunic I am powerless to resist a pretty white tunic. This is $128. 2. peepers Read More

Thursday Things

Another day, Diary

Is this an actual thing I'm doing now? I don't know. If you do something once, does it become tradition? Maybe. Truth be told, I just liked the way Thursday Things sounded because alliteration. Life here has been busy with all the usual things like soccer and traveling to speak and finding things to cook for dinner and changing out all the plastic hangers in my closet with those velvet Read More
