Remember when I said I had to do a Costco trip prior to my Fourth of July party? Well, I had to do a huge trip. I hadn’t been to Costco in awhile, so I needed a little bit of, well, everything. I always like to see what other people are buying at Costco, so I figured I’d share some…
I thought it would be fun to share some simple summer snacks that you can enjoy poolside – or just have around to snack on. This post was inspired from my Fourth of July pool party this weekend, and I figured I’d share some simple recipes to have on hand. Four ingredient Potato Salad I call this my mother-in-law potato…
Happy Tuesday – I’m back at work after my long, Fourth of July weekend. I guess I *kind* of feel relaxed, although I’ve also been going a million miles an hour since Friday. So, I figured I’d share what we were up to this weekend. Friday I started my day off with a little workout outside. It’s been raining a…
Happy Friday, friends, and happy Fourth of July weekend! We have a group of friends who like to get together for a pool party every year. The last two years have kind of been a wash. In 2019, Houston had torrential downpours that prevented any sort of get together. And, last year was COVID, so we opted to do our…
How have we already made it to July? figured it might be fun to share some photos and give ya’ll a sentence (or two) per picture. I feel like the last couple of months have been a blur with our trip to Mexico, the puppies and our house repairs. I’m prepping for a small 4th of July get together this…
We are going on our third week with our new golden retriever puppies: Tex and Cali. I thought I’d give you a general update.

Okay friends. Now that we are on the flip side of our house repairs, I figured I’d show you some before and afters of my home office renovation. If you are new around here, my husband and I bought our first house back in September. We were fairly close to getting everything unpacked and put together when Winter Storm Uri…
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I’m wrapping up mine today. It’s a bit of a short week for me, and I’m really looking forward to a long, four-day weekend. We are having our annual 4th of July party at our new house this year, so I’m prepping for that this week. I’ve got a tennis lesson this evening…
Happy Friday – we made it. After what feels like the longest two weeks in history, we’ve made it! Can I get an amen? I’ve had some big favorites this week, so let’s recap, shall we? Mr. Simplywed’s birthday Yesterday, we celebrated Aaron’s birthday: the big 42! And, it was a favorite of mine because he works so hard and…
Happy Thursday! I feel like a completely new woman now that our house renovations are complete. We had someone come in and do a deep clean yesterday, so I really feel like we have our house back. It’s a wonderful feeling. You don’t realize the extent that life’s stressors can take their toll on you until you really sit back…
