Friday Favorites + Easter Weekend Plans
Happy Friday! Not only is it Friday, but it’s Good Friday: the day that we pause to remember Jesus Christ’s crucifixion – and subsequent resurrection.

Friday Favorites: Spring Break Dreaming
Happy Friday! We made it ya’ll, and that is a big accomplishment in and of itself. My week has felt approximately 500 days long 🙂 I’ve been pulling some long days, and I don’t think it’s going to slow down until March is officially over.

How We Spent Christmas 2020
Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that it was everything you needed it to be this strange year. We were supposed to host Christmas at our house, but our plans changed at the last minute, but it wouldn’t be 2020 if that didn’t happen. Am I right? Christmas 2020 My in laws decided not to…
Houston Zoo Lights 2020
I recapped the Houston Zoo Lights from years past a couple of weeks ago. They rescheduled the 2020 donor event due to weather, and last night was the rescheduled date.
