I've been out of town all week so this is going to be quick. I will say there are many good sale items to be found right now depending on what you may want or need. Here are a few cute things I found this week: 1. j.crew rainbow enamel hoop earrings I have loved these all summer because they are so bright and fun, yet still just a hoop. They are on sale for $23.99 but an extra 50% Read More

I seriously can't believe that the 4th of July is next week. June has gone by so fast and it still doesn't really feel like summer to me, except for the heat and the mosquitoes. I have laughed because I follow a lot of fashion bloggers on Instagram and they've all been posting various outfit options for the 4th of July and it's caused me to question my life because we have no real plans for the Read More

It's officially the point in summer where it's really too hot to do anything except stay in the air-conditioning as much as possible. Fortunately, we have the Women's World Cup and the College World Series to help achieve these goals. Here are some cute things I found this week between watching all the sports: 1. rosemary midi dress I love all the dresses like this that are available Read More

It's true. On Wednesday afternoon I was recording a podcast with Sophie and realized that my computer was no longer connecting to the internet. Oddly enough, it kept working for Skype but anytime I tried to get on Safari or Chrome, it completely quit working. And, while normally I would love blame AT&T for this issue, everyone else in our home had internet that worked completely fine. Plus, Read More

So yesterday we went from sunny skies and a high temperature that I'd estimate at around 107 degrees to thunderstorms complete with golf ball size hail. Welcome to summer in Texas. Caroline and I were across town at the gym where we work out when the storm hit and we waited until the worst of it passed before we headed home. I told Caroline to text P to tell him we were on our way home and he Read More

May is one of those months where I never remember if it has 30 or 31 days. As it turns out, it has 31. And so today is the last day of May. We've been on summer vacation for a week and it has been glorious. And even though summer school starts on Monday, I keep telling myself it will still be an easier routine than the normal school year. (Several of you asked last week, Caroline is taking Read More

Well, we are officially out of school for the summer. Except that Caroline is going to summer school during June. She's super excited about that except for the opposite of excited. But we are going to enjoy the next ten days of sleeping in and being on a summer schedule. Also, I cried real tears looking at graduation pictures on Facebook last night so that really bodes well for how well I'll Read More

Here's the best thing I can say about this week. I survived it. We had soccer banquet Monday then I drove to Dallas on Tuesday for an event on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Then I got home at almost 10 p.m. Wednesday night and Caroline had to bring donuts to school and be there by 7:00 a.m. Thursday for her World History AP exam. Now, in all fairness, P got up and went to Shipley's and brought Read More

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. And, just remember, you can buy yourself a Mother's Day present even if you aren't a mom. My motto is to do what Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle would do and TREAT YO'SELF. via GIPHY As for me, I'll be spending my Mother's Day doing what I do almost every day of my life, watching Caroline play soccer. On Sunday we get to drive to Houston and Read More
