Diary

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.

We are wearing masks, we can't go sit in a movie theater which is Read More

This week we had a "chance" of rain every day. It turned out to be four raindrops that fell on Tuesday and did nothing to diminish the heat and everything to make it feel like I'm living in a sauna. Welcome to summer in Texas. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. crinkled cotton dress I featured this dress a few weeks ago and had ordered it for myself but it hadn't arrived Read More

Well. I don't really have anything to say today except for here are some cute clothes I found this week. We'll call that the bright side. 1. aerie summer desert sweatshirt I bought this sweatshirt in white and green last summer and I wear them all the time. They are super lightweight and the perfect layer when you're inside and the A/C is blasting which is how I prefer my A/C. It Read More
