This is one of those weeks where I just don't have much to say. Here are some cute things I've found this week: 1. high-rise wide-leg cropped utility jean I went in Banana Republic this week because they had a big sign on the window with "Sale" and, well, I'm only human. I've been wanting a pair of wide-leg cropped jeans but hadn't found any I liked until I tried these on. They are so Read More

First, I just want to take a minute to remember that today is September 11. Everything has felt so contentious this year and it's weird to think about on how united the country seemed in the days following September 11. Honestly, I wonder if it will ever be that way again. It's just hard to believe we are almost twenty years away from that awful day. via GIPHY Anyway, I cannot tell you how Read More

Yep. This is going to be a quick post today because Caroline and I are on a little road trip which is basically the only advantage of online school. We drove to Dallas on Thursday to see some friends and we're headed to College Station for a soccer tournament this weekend. I have to say that I had forgotten how much I love to get in the car and take a trip. Not even I-35 could steal my joy Read More

That's right. It's my birthday today. I'm officially starting the last year of my forties and so I can only imagine that the money I spend on skincare will increase over the next year. via GIPHY Here are some cute things I found this week that I may or may not buy myself to celebrate my birthday. 1. milly plaid button down Here's what you need to know immediately.

Here's the highlight of my week: It rained here on Monday night. Actually, Monday was Caroline's birthday so that was the biggest highlight, but the rain was a close second. It's just so dang hot and the rain made it actually feel cool for a second. It made the sky cloudy enough that our air actually quit running for a few minutes because it was able to cool off our house without the Read More

Well, here we are at the very end of July. I'm not sure if time is going faster or slower at this point and I guess it doesn't really matter. Here's what I do know. I'm predictable even in a pandemic because I'm starting to think about fall clothes. In a normal year this means I'm thinking about all the places and events I have planned for the fall and what I'll need. This year? I don't Read More

That's right. Tropical Storm Hanna is headed this way this weekend and I'm not even a little mad about it. I will totally take a weekend of rain over more heat. It sounds delightful. However, given 2020, there's a good chance Hanna will die out halfway here and it'll just be hotter this weekend. This feels like a safe place to rest my hopes and dreams. Here are a few cute things I found Read More

I got in my car yesterday and the temp read 133 degrees. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE DEGREES. Is that probably a bit of an exaggeration? Yes. But did it feel like it was 133 degrees outside? Yes. Our weathermen are saying we may break 100 year old heat records over the next few days to which I say READ THE ROOM, WEATHER. We are wearing masks, we can't go sit in a movie theater which is Read More
