Welcome to week 3 of The Bachelor recaps. The evening starts out by wrapping up the rose ceremony from the previous week (you can read that recap here). We were left with the drama between Queen Victoria and Marylynn when last week’s episode ended. Honestly, Victoria has to be planted by a producer because there is no way she is…
Explore your own backyard: Brazos Bend State Park Edition
Happy Friday, friends. I made it through a wildly busy week. I can’t say much about this yet, but we have a huge project coming up at work, and things are amping up very quickly. On top of that, Aaron and I do have a trip planned to St. Louis at the end of the month for business – and…
New House: Dining Room Update
If you are new here, we moved into our new house last September. We are slowly furnishing the house as well go. We didn’t have a formal dining area in our previous house, so we needed to completely furnish the dining room. And today, I’m here to give you an update! The two photos above are what the dining room…
The Bachelor Recap: Episode 2
Happy Tuesday, friends. I’m back today with your Episode 2: Bachelor Recap. If you are just now getting caught up – you haven’t missed much. The typical shenanigans happened last week as our new bachelor, Matt, met all of the women vying for his heart this season. Abigail, the first deaf contestant, received both the first kiss and the first…
Sawyer’s Adoption Anniversary +My New Roomba
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was cold and rainy this weekend in Houston. Certain parts of Texas received snow, but Houston wasn’t lucky enough. My in-laws and my grandma were out playing in the snow all day, so I got to live vicariously through their photos. All I got was the photo of the car temperature so…
All things running + Chevron Houston Marathon
One of my favorite weekends in January is coming up: the Chevron Houston Marathon weekend. And, while the race will be taking place virtually this year, it’s a longstanding tradition for many Houstonians. While I won’t be running a full half virtually over marathon weekend, which typically takes place over MLK Weekend, I will be getting outside and getting active.…
Things I’m Loving Lately+20 Minute Weeknight Recipe
Happy Thursday! The first week of the 2021 has been eventful. It’s been a busy week work wise, and I think it’s going to be pretty busy for all of January. Aaron was in work for Austin yesterday (one of his clients is in Austin), so I held down the fort in Houston. We replaced our office chairs with new…
5 Questions to Ask As a First-Time Home Buyer
Happy Wednesday. I’m answering the top five questions that I had as a first-time home buyer. But first, some housekeeping. If you haven’t read (or watched) The Bachelor, you can read my recap here. This is my second week back to work after a glorious week-long hiatus during Christmas week. And I’m hitting the ground running. This week, I’m prepping…
The Bachelor Recap: Matt James
I have been a fan of the Bachelor since Trista and Ryan’s season. My mom and I used to watch together, and over the years, I’ve found a group of girlfriends who love and appreciate the show as much as I do. So, this season, I thought it would be fun to recap the Bachelor. When they announced Matt as…
First Weekend of the Year Recap
I hope your new year is off to a wonderful start. We had something fun planned for the first weekend of the year, and its a story that deserves a bit of background. I first moved to Texas when I was 17 and a freshman at Baylor University. I’ve been here ever since – nearly 17 years later. For awhile,…
