via GIPHY Yep. It's officially a new decade. So far I have spent it like I spent the end of the last decade which is to say I've been in my pajamas watching Netflix. Better to start small and then lead up to bigger and better things. I hope you all had a great Christmas and a good start to a new year. Here are some cute things I found in case you have some Christmas money to spend. 1. Read More

So it's finally Friday, which, THANK GOD. I've always felt like the weeks after a week of vacation are the hardest because you've had a taste of the good life and then have to go back to being a responsible person who doesn't stay up until 2:30 a.m. watching The Crown and then googling "Did Queen Elizabeth really go visit her Uncle Edward on his deathbed?" I'll be honest. I like vacation Read More

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your friends and family. Personally, I have consumed somewhere in the vicinity of quadruple an acceptable calorie count over the last two days and am going to need to put myself on some sort of program. Today is the beginning (not really because almost everyone started their sales early) of all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale madness. There Read More

Well based on the fact that I have four packages of cranberries in my fridge right now, it must be Thanksgiving week. And why do I have four packages of cranberries? Because I am stocking up so I can make this cranberry-jalapeno cream cheese dip over the next month or so of holiday celebrations. I discovered it last year right at the end of the Christmas season when cranberries are increasingly Read More

In what feels like a commentary on my entire week, I've spent the last five hours starting to finish this post and then getting distracted. In fact, in this time period I have baked a strawberry cake, made taco soup, helped Caroline with her hair and had two glasses of wine. All that to say, I was probably a little better five hours ago than I am now. But a cold front has blown through Read More

Well. It's November. I don't even know how this happened. But the weather is cold and Halloween is over and you know what that means. CHRISTMAS. I'm kidding. Kind of. You can totally wait until November 2 to think about Christmas so enjoy the next few hours of your life. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. loft cowl neck tunic sweater This cowl neck sweater Read More

So I'm writing this from Honey's couch in Bryan/College Station right now. We are here because Caroline is doing an official tour of A&M today which is so weird since she's still in Kindergarten in my mind. But apparently college is a real thing and it's right around the corner and denial isn't going to change that. Then we're headed to Dallas for a soccer game on Saturday and then back home Read More

The time in my life when I will get tired of Les Miles talking about Columbus Day? NEVER. I hope you all enjoy the long weekend. I have big plans to watch two soccer games that I hope we will win. And I also plan to watch the Aggies play Alabama. I hope we win that one as well, but I'm less optimistic about it. But any team can beat any team on any given Saturday. That's why they Read More
