Diary

I just got home from our high school's first football game of the season. The air was cool, the band marched on the field, the cheerleaders cheered and the football players played. Then the sun set and the moon came up. And it was red. Normally, I would just think "Wow, cool moon!" But because it's 2020, I kind of wondered if it was perhaps a bad omen.

I don't know about y'all but I feel like I've lived a thousand lives since last Friday. But at the same time, it's hard to believe that we're almost to October. I heard someone say that September, October, November and December are the "LMNOP" of the year and that feels like the truest thing. Anyway, this will basically be me this weekend into between watching football and soccer. via Read More

First, I just want to take a minute to remember that today is September 11.

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

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
