Everyone was in charge of bringing one of their favorite side dishes. And, while my mom and dad have had some incredible Thanksgiving home runs over the years (my dad’s homemade stuffing,…

Friday Favorites: Time Change Edition

Veterans Day | marine corps

Happy Friday! Anyone else struggle with the time change this week? I’ve got my hand raised. I’m a night owl regardless, but I’ve had a hard time this week shutting down my computer when it’s already dark out. I feel like my whole day is gone. To combat some of these time change blues, I’ve made it a habit to…

I also really don’t like recapping when there are a million contestants who we don’t really know. But, I’m back for week 4! This week starts off with a group date and two one on one dates.

Happy Tuesday, friends. I hosted a virtual fundraiser/meet and greet last night for my friend who is running for judge in Harris County. The event was a success, and we raised nearly $3,000 in support of her campaign. It was one of those projects that seemed a bit daunting at first, but I’m so glad that we pushed through and…

Friday Favorites: November Edition

Astros golden retrievers

Happy Friday! I’m starting the first Friday in November off the right way: with my holiday Starbucks cup in hand. They put out their holiday cups yesterday, but since I still hadn’t gone to grab a pumpkin spice latter (who am I?) at all in October, I decided I needed to grab one before they were gone. A November Cool…

A weekend in Waco, Texas

Happy Wednesday (for those of you who aren’t Houston Astros fans). For those of us who live in Houston, that was a rough loss last night. I’ll always be a ‘Stros fan, and they had a heck of a season. Proud of them for making it to the World Series! Last week I shared about my time as a Baylor…
