Best Thanksgiving Side: Moosie’s Potatoes
Happy Tuesday, Friends. I’m sharing a family recipe today. If you read yesterday’s post, you saw that Aaron and I headed to a Friendsgiving party this past weekend. 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,…
Weekend Recap+Friendsgiving and Nutcracker Market
Happy Monday, friends. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was incredibly busy, but I’m officially in the holiday spirit thanks to a visit to the Nutcracker Market and a Friendsgiving. I’m starting my Monday off with the best holiday duo thanks to Nespresso’s peppermint pinwheel mixed with some peppermint mocha creamer. This week will be a fun week.…
Friday Favorites: Time Change Edition
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…
Two easy Friendsgiving Recipes
Happy Thursday – we’ve got a Friendsgiving coming up this weekend, and I’ll be making my Aunt Moosie’s mashed potatoes. I’ll make them this weekend and share the recipe later next week so you can have it in time for Turkey Day festivities. This got me to thinking that I want to share a couple of recipes that are perfect…
The Bachelorette Recap: Week 4
I’ve been tuning into The Bachelorette over the last couple of weeks, but watching the recordings due to the World Series. 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. Martin gets…
Pumpkin Banana Bread
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…
Boot Walk Weekend
Good morning and HAPPY MONDAY! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was a weekend to remember: it was Boot Walk Weekend! After I finished Friday’s blog, I had a l-o-n-g day of work ahead of me. I worked straight through lunch and and before I knew it, 6 p.m. had arrived. It was a culmination of lots of…
Friday Favorites: November Edition
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…
