Top Five Favorite Work From Home Items

Jabra

Since I started working from home a year ago, I’ve gotten used to some items I just can’t live without. I figured I’d share them with you today. If you’ve been reading here any amount of time, you know that my office was a victim of February’s freeze. So, even though, I’m in my makeshift offie (literally in the middle…

House Update: Post-Freeze

In light of yesterday’s news, Aaron and I have just been trying to cope as best as we can. This means spoiling the heck out of Sawyer, but we also have to keep up with our house renovation. I figured I would give you all an update on that. Pex Repipe When I last shared, our re-pipe was still in…

Life update: Sawyer

Sawyer | Houston golden retriever

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. When I decided to start blogging again late last year, I never could have predicted what might lie ahead. But here we are, so it’s only appropriate that I fill you on what’s going on in my life. Sawyer is our 13-year old golden retriever. And earlier last week, he just wasn’t…

Our weekend at the Lakeway Resort and Spa in Austin

Lakeway Austin Resort and Spa

We headed out of town for a long-ish weekend, and it could not have been more refreshing. One of our best friends had a birthday, so we decided to head to the Lakeway Resort and Spa in Austin. I stayed there a couple of years ago for her Bachelorette party, so pre-COVID, and we had the best time. This was…

The Bachelor Finale

Warning: Bachelor Finale spoilers are ahead, so consider this your fair warning if you haven’t watched yet. I would say this finale was one for the books – and not in a good way. I’ll get into that more a little bit later in this post. I watched three hours of tv tonight for you. Is there any way they…

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

easy chicken pot pie

Welcome to the highs and the lows (literally) of Texas weather. Just two weeks ago we were experiencing historic freezing temperatures. This week, it’s back up in the 70s. I’m still not completely in Spring mode, and I’m gravitating toward savory dishes for dinner still. An easy chicken pot pie was on my menu before the weather turns warm. I…

My thoughts on Farmhouse Delivery

Farmhouse Delivery

Happy Wednesday! I’m counting down the days until the end of the week, because we have a fun weekend planned with two of our best friends. Meanwhile, this guy has been following me around the house like it’s his job. Ya’ll, I love this dog! He’s been extra clingy lately, and I’m sure it’s because his schedule has been so…

Bachelor Recap: Fantasy Suite Week

Like every Tuesday, I am recapping this week’s episode of The Bachelor. If you need to get caught up, you can read what’s gone on in previous weeks here. If you remember, last week I was concerned with the previews I saw for this particular episode. It showed Matt reconnecting with his dad on screen. And it was just as…

First Weekend of March

masraffs Houston

It’s so strange to be thinking about what we were doing this time last year. This first weekend of March in 2020 was filled with uncertainty and anxiety as the first COVID-19 case made its way to Houston. It would be my last week working in the office – and our last time getting together with a large group of…

Things I’m Loving Lately

Sawyer | Houston golden retriever

This going to be the most random collection of things I’m loving lately. I had to laugh a little bit because this list has a huuuuge spectrum. It spans comfort and luxury, all the way to my vacuums (which are really taking one for the team lately). So, I figured I’d share – and give you a bit more insight…
