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…
Instant Pot Chili Recipe
Happy Tuesday, friends. I hope you enjoyed my Halloween weekend recap yesterday. I mentioned that I always try to make a chili for Halloween night, and I want to share the recipe with you today. Sometimes we have friends stop by – and this recipe makes plenty for guests. So, here we go! Instant Pot Chili Ingredients Here’s what you’ll…
Halloween Weekend Recap
Happy Monday! I’m coming off of my own sugar high from this Halloween and Waco weekend, and I’m glad to be back in my home office ready to take on this week. I hope that you had a wonderful Halloween weekend – I know I sure did. We were passing out candy last night until about 9! I bought four…
Friday Favorites: Officially Fall Edition
Happy Friday morning, friends! I’m up early on my day off trying to knock out some quick errands before we head out of town for the Baylor/UT game. I can’t wait to make it back to campus. By the way, the weather is glorious fall weather this morning. I can finally walk outside without my hair turning into a frizz-fest.…
