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

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
