Fashion Friday: Edition the end of a short week

I don't know when it will feel normal to talk about normal things because we haven't even quit reeling from Hurricane Harvey and now Hurricane Irma is about to hit Florida. And so Fashion Friday feels a little silly, but I also think I've always used this space to give us all a little bit of a break from all the harsh realities of life so I'm going ahead with Fashion Friday today. But don't Read More

All the things

Another day, Diary

I'm just going to apologize in advance because this post is basically going to be a truckload of information about all the things I was supposed to share over the last few weeks but forgot to share because of Hurricane Harvey and trying to get back into our back to school routine and spending all of Labor Day weekend at a soccer tournament in Dallas. I'll be back to report on all of those things Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts

Diary

I went to high school in Beaumont, Texas and it's surreal to me to see that little corner of Southeast Texas all over the national news right now. They don't even have running water at this point. And so I really can't post about cute tops or shoes today, but I did find a few fashion-related items that are donating all or at least a portion of their proceeds to Hurricane Harvey relief. Also, Read More

Prayers for Texas and ways to help

Diary

(graphic by August Joffe) Well if you're like me then you haven't been able to quit watching the news coverage of the devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey on Texas over the weekend. We are just fine here in San Antonio after some rain and wind, but our beloved Texas coast and Houston area won't be the same again for a long time. I'd like to ask you all to pray for Houston since the rain is Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition Tropical Storm Harvey

Diary, Fashion

Well our original plan for the weekend was to head to College Station for a soccer tournament. But the tournament has been cancelled along with basically everything else in Texas. Fortunately, I went to Target yesterday and stocked up on the hurricane necessities. And please note those are chocolate blueberries so I didn't forget the fruit. In all seriousness, this is shaping up to be Read More

An excerpt about sisters

Diary

Y'all. We are just barely surviving the first week of school, not because it hasn't been good because it has been great. But err'ybody in my house be so tired. It's hard to get back in a routine and my brain hasn't quite caught up. I've been getting in bed every night by 10:30 or 11:00 but I still lie there wide awake until about 1:30 a.m. Why? Because my brain thinks it should be watching Read More

The first day of high school

Diary, Doodle

So this little nugget started high school yesterday. Untitled from Big Mama on Vimeo. Which is so weird since it feels like that video I filmed the night before she started Kindergarten was like two years ago. So much has changed, except the fact that she still brings her lunch to school every day. She has never one time fallen for my suggestion that she might like the cafeteria food if Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition the last one of the summer

Diary, Fashion

This is the last Friday of our summer. I realize some of you have already gone back to school and some of you have another week or so, but this is our last hurrah. We plan to celebrate by staying up late one more night, sleeping in late one more morning, and then going back to being responsible members of society like we were in May. Here are a few cute things I found this week even though Read More

Two decades later

Capital P, Diary

It has been twenty years ago today that these two crazy kids walked down an aisle and vowed to love and cherish each other for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part. Honestly? We had no idea what any of that really meant. But here we are twenty years later. We have laughed and fought and cried and driven each other crazy. We've celebrated victories, Read More
