A few years ago, I was describing my love for Dr. Pepper to a friend. The first sip of a fresh Dr. Pepper is about the carbonation. The bubbles hit the back of my throat and the tingle runs from the ...
It has been said that my spiritual gift is bossiness. I own that. If I don’t keep myself in check, I evaluate every experience based on how I would do it differently. If I ever doubt that this ...
Yesterday was so much fun! What a honor…what a blessing…what a joy! I could spend the rest of my life sharing Sadie’s adventures and meeting little people who l...
Can you believe I am supposed to be packing right now? I can not complain too much because my best friend came up last night so we could get dressed up, sit on a patio under twinkle-light-filled-tree...
So after months of anticipation, we are finally home. At least four times a day I just breathe that statement in…and out. I breathe it in when I catch a glimpse of the cityscape while going abo...
I thought I’d pop in here and tell you I’m alive. I’m laying in bed in denial that I have to pack & load the rest of my life in my car and deliver it to our Austin home. I am so...
Dear pretty mean girl, I’m not sure how you found my blog or what made you decide to read through so many posts…but THANK YOU. You did me a solid. I considered replying to your comments i...
I am a dreamer. (That’s positive-spin for being a procrastinator who doesn’t finish everything she starts.) But last night, I stood in front of a group of women I admire and respect and s...
I have this very vivid memory of the last few days of junior high. Mostly it surrounds the signing of yearbooks. My inability to write something simple and straight forward was present even then. And...
If there was any question about if I was in the right city, today it would have been erased. I’m sitting at a table with other bloggers listening to one of my blogger crushes, Hipstercrite talk...
A few weeks ago my sweet friend Jade and I hit the streets in pursuit of new head-shots for that whole author gig I’m doing now. We had fun with it. If you follow me much on the internet, you&#...
So yes… I wrote a children’s book. Yes… it is officially a book about to be sold to strangers. And today is that day. The one where I spend all day trying not to throw up because I ...
Once upon a time my husband worked for a company that whisked us away for Mother’s Day weekend. We spent the weekend at a resort on the Gulf of Mexico. We lounged by the pool, drank fruity cock...
It is almost one pm on a Saturday afternoon and I have done two things. 1. Acquired breakfast tacos 2. Finished a book. Daddy is home from his brief stay of 21 days in Hawaii. He was working. Plus he...
I can’t wait for summer. I said it. (Feel free to remind me come July) “Summer” holds significance this year. It means we survived (and maybe even thrived a bit) our first year in p...
I am so excited for the Katy Perry movie. There….I said it. I am a huge fan!!! I think she is a brilliant entertainer and I can’t not help but crank it when she comes on the radio. I had ...
We don’t cry over spilled milk. If I did it would be like that scene from Alice in Wonderland where she is swept away by the current of her own tears. Something is always spilled, broken, lost,...
I have a confession. I don’t dig Pinterest. I’m pretty sure I’m one of like 12 women on earth who know what pinterest is and still are not fans. I have an account and every time som...
I am closer than ever to seeing a lifelong dream materialize. (Yes…here I am talking about Sadie and her paper crown again) I am excited. And down right thrilled about it. If you asked me what ...
As we get closer to the book launch and our forever-in-ATX date, I’m spending more and more time in Austin. My week was supposed to kick off with a few days of working and kid-free time in the ...

I feel privy to the miraculous when I send words out to the internet and boomeranging back comes your love and support. Nothing less than awe and wonder at this thing…blogging…we do. Your...
It is the second time in several weeks that I have been told a story that shakes me to my core. My cousin died. When I got off the phone with my mom, J hugged me and told me he was sorry I had lost m...
I’m not the girl that does whatever everyone else is doing. I usually avoid what everyone else is reading, watching, wearing. But last fall these books popped into my inbox from a friend and I ...
I have four kids. I know I say that a lot but it’s really just a reminder to myself. It still comes as a surprise. Plus it is also the answer for two of my new-around-here games. Game 1: Them: ...
Life is full right now. It is. It is full of the beautiful things that make life…well LIFE. Last week was an amazing week full of friendship and professional validation. I spent a lot of time e...
Dear Austin, I miss you but am strangely content knowing you and I can pick up where we left off anytime I want. Love, The girl with her new Austin address _______ Dear New Apartment, Thank you. You ...
You learn who you are in your twenties and learn to love who are in your thirties. The number one thing (other than “you made me cry”) that I hear about my blog is about transparency. Wh...
This would be me. In the entry way of HOME. In Austin. Madly in love. Even though the iron is still four hours away with the rest of our stuff. And ridiculously happy to kid-free for a few days, even...
I have a sore throat. My kids did it. They are germy monsters. And they still don’t understand personal space. Like that I don’t like sharing a drink. Or sleeping with their limbs wrapped...
