Have you ever been completely unaware that you were a part of a record-setting moment? Sit back, buckle up and hold on. Unless you are reading this from Wisconsin or Minnesota or Canada, in which case feel free to go to the next blog post. The city I live in set a record for being …
Back before the whole Covid thing happened, when indoor birthday parties were ‘a thing’ and hugs were an acceptable greeting, Amelia’s cute little niecelette turned 2. She’s a cute little thing, and like all glorious two year olds- she channels her inner boss babe. Always good for a play on words, Amelia came up with …
Breakfast is, hands down, my very favorite meal of the day. I’ve probably said that before. My middle child actually doesn’t much care for breakfast- he likes a ‘midnight snack’ that he eats when he wakes up in the morning before the sun comes up, but if he had his way he’d eat his cheese …
My co-conspirator, Amelia, is a solid decade younger than me. This, coupled with everything that puts us on opposite ends of the spectrum is one of the unexpected delights of my life.

At some point over the last several months, my boys came downstairs and announced that they were sharing a room. Honestly we would have probably told them ‘no’ because we anticipated it would be wild but they’d moved all of their earthly possessions into one room and it was basically a done deal. I didn’t …
As we work through making our home more ‘us’, I’ve accumulated QUITE the collection of wallpaper samples. They’re too pretty to trash, so I tucked them away in my crafting closet collection to use at a later date. On what? WHO KNOWS…. But they’re there when I need them. I woke up today and decided …
In Texas, it is snowing. This is a big news day, because honestly it just does NOT snow. It’s an even bigger news day because the temperatures are well below freezing with no plans to come back up and thus the snow is STICKING. This only happens once every 7 years or so. This tidbit …
