Another day

Live from Icepocalyspe 2018

Another day, Diary

When I was a little girl, I was endlessly fascinated with the episode of Little House on the Prairie when a blizzard suddenly hits Walnut Grove and Miss Beedle had already sent some of the children home from school and Pa and the other men of Walnut Grove had to get out and find them while everyone else hunkered down in the schoolhouse to weather the storm. I have vivid memories of re-enacting Read More

Playing catch up

Another day, Beauty

Y'all. I am the worst blogger ever. But in my defense, I have been very busy keeping up with current events. Specifically, reading everything I can about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry while also keeping up with the Texas A&M coaching situation. It has been a big news cycle surrounding all the things I care about. The only thing missing was a lead story about rose hip oil and a new Read More

Someone did not need a hug

Another day

So it's been a while since I've written because I basically fell into a post book launch stupor and am just now beginning to emerge and function in the world like a real person. Plus, we had some excitement around here that felt like it needed to be shared in more detail than just an Instagram post. I mentioned that in mid-October, P left for Colorado on a ten day hunting trip to Colorado with Read More

That time that baseball almost killed me

Another day, Diary

So maybe you heard that I had a book come out in the earlier part of this month. Then I spent several weeks traveling to various events to promote the book and meet a whole bunch of you and it was all truly a lot of fun. And then I planned to come home and relax and get some much needed rest. But a funny thing happened and the Houston Astros ended up in the World Series. Which is how Read More

This, that and the other

Another day

This is going to be quick because I'm watching the World Series and then I'm going to need to watch tonight's This Is Us and Caroline has been sick and it's been a long day. But here are a few things I thought you needed to know about: 1. Cultivate event with Kelly Minter at Currey Creek Church in Boerne, Texas Kelly Minter is one of my favorite Bible teachers and one of my favorite Read More

Coming home and homecoming

Another day

I would like to report that I am totally well rested and back to my normal self, but that would be a lie. However, I am much closer to that than I was last week at this time so that feels like a victory. And I figured I better recount the last several days while I still vaguely remember what happened and where I was and what I did. Last Tuesday, Gulley and I drove to Dallas for a book signing Read More

In case I forget to tell you later, I’m having a good time

Another day, Diary

Hi. How are you? I am in the midst of what may go down as the busiest two week period of my life to date. But don't worry, I totally got to relax on Monday because we spent it shopping for shoes for Caroline for Homecoming this weekend. Have you ever prayed in the shoe department at Nordstrom? Because I did yesterday as we looked for something that was "comfortable" but "not too flat" and Read More

Water we going to do now?

Another day

My next few weeks are crazy busy with all the book release stuff and so I purposely didn't plan much for this week so I could just enjoy a little downtime. And the weather has even cooperated because it has rained pretty much all day, every day which has been very conducive to my ability to both get some work done and watch several episodes of Hart of Dixie on Netflix. I have also been Read More

Here are some things

Another day, Diary

Have I told y'all that I've declared Monday to be my new Saturday? Because I totally have. I'm not sure why it took me so long to figure this out, but since our weekends are so busy it just makes sense to let myself be less than productive on Mondays. Granted, this doesn't necessarily work every week, but when it does it's delightful. And it felt entirely justified yesterday because we spent Read More
