I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day. I’m taking a break from blogging today because we are spending Memorial Day with some friends for some quality pool time. I’m stopping in today to honor all the men and women – and the families – who bravely died while serving our country. I am the proud wife of a…

Friday Faves
Happy Friday ya’ll! I have the day off from work today, and I’m out running some errands before the long weekend! We are having some friends over for some pool time this weekend, the contractor came yesterday to sign all of our contracts to get our house fixed, and we had the most delicious dinner at Federal Grill, which is…
Three Things I’m Thankful for on Thursday
Happy Thursday friends. A little gratitude can go a long way sometimes. I’m often reminded of that sentiment because part of my job entails thanking people for a living. Over the course of the pandemic, I tried to look for at least one positive thing in each day. And, sometimes coming up with that one thing was difficult. Luckily, I’m…
Costco Picks
Happy Wednesday- I want to share some of my top Costco picks today! It’s been raining every day in Houston since last weekend, and the last couple of days have been no exception. It typically starts raining right around early afternoon and pours on and off through the rest of the day! Buttercup does not love all the rain, so…
Best Summer Watermelon Smoothie
With summer right around the corner, I’m always thinking about new ways to create refreshing beverages in the kitchen.

May is Employee Appreciation month, so I got to wrap up an hour earlier yesterday evening. I loved having the extra hour back on Friday-Eve. What did I do with that extra hour? I took a…
The Comparison Game
Happy Thursday! I skipped blogging yesterday because I was up late the night before for my first ever tennis lesson. As soon as I parked my car in the driveway, we had a nasty storm come through, so I just didn’t sleep all that well. Ya win some, ya lose some. When I started blogging again last year, I wanted…
Nespresso Love
Happy Tuesday, friends. Today’s post is going to be dedicated to my love of coffee – specifically coffee that comes our of my Nespresso Vertuo machine. If coffee isn’t your thing – can we even be friends? Just kidding, I know it’s not for everyone, but it is for me. I rely heavily on coffee to get motivated to take…
Hello Monday + Weekend Things
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Aaron has been out of town on business since Thursday, so I’ve been flying solo. And, while I was bummed I had to miss out on this trip, I had some things that needed to get done in Houston. On Friday, I had two contractors lined up to come to house to…
