The kids chose our Color Me Rad Team Name. Happily Ever What! This past Saturday we got up before the roosters and the sun and most sane people, put on our family team shirts, our neon sunglasses and headed down to reliant stadium to run the Houston 2014 Color Me Rad. We ran, we jogged,…
Happy Monday, y’all!! I hope y’all had a wonderful week and weekend!! We ran the Houston Color Me Rad 5K with our kids, relaxed, ate well, and were quite productive. I made these roasted poblano burgers for dinner tonight, but that’s about as much as I’ve cooked all weekend. Princess, however, got up this morning…
“Happiness is like a kiss, you must share it to enjoy it” – Bernard Meltzer It’s time for my favorite part of the week. Sharing the things that have brought me happiness this week.
As far back as I can remember, my Dad’s pepper-steak has been one of my favorite Chinese foods – tender steak, crispy bright veggies, and the delicious umami from the soy and spices. Pepper Steak is one of the dishes we save for special occasions, it’s a bit time intensive and I’m all about the quick…
My youngest brother-in-law got married this past weekend, in a lovely ceremony in a tee-tiny East Texas town. My handsome husband was the best man, and he looks rather dapper in his champagne suit; if I do say so myself. Monkey is quite enamored with all things dapper. He loves tuxedos {is rather upset that…
Do you know what happens when you don’t hit SCHEDULE POST on your MWM post? Nothing. That’s What. {le sigh} Hey y’all! How was your week? The weekend? Did y’all survive without FOOTBALL?!!! We roadtripped to waaaaay East Texas, the kids saw their first snow, and my youngest brother-in-law got married. Here’s the kids enjoying…
“Always find time for the things that make you happy to be alive” – So many things have brought me joy this week. Family, The Olympics Starting, Books, Music, Roaring Fires, 100th Day of School outfits. Monkey called his look “100th day old man” Princess called her look “Get off my lawn”
The title has nothing to do with the post, other than there’s tequila involved in making margaritas and every time I see tequila I think back to our Senior Class trip to Cancun and the t-shirt that one of the guys wore that said – “1 Tequila, 2 Tequila, 3 Tequila.. Floor” Welcome to my…
Some of my favorite, and most vivid memories of childhood are centered around my Granny’s kitchen. Like many southern women of her time, Granny showered those she loved with food. Whether it was chicken fried steak, chess pie, apple pie, cinnamon rolls or chicken spaghetti; Granny’s kitchen was always a source of love, food, family,…
Happy Monday, y’all! What did y’all think of the game last night? Princess was so excited about the ‘Big Game’ and our block party that she made a poster to hang in our neighbor’s garage. It was a great night with lots of neighbors and friends and food! So much food! Nathan and I…
“I have decided to be happy because it is good for my health” – Voltaire Happy Super Bowl, y’all! Are you going for the Broncs? The Hawks? Who’re you rootin’ for today? I’m rooting for the Broncos and the food 🙂 I have so many wonderful things making me happy this week, and I can’t…
Football and Texas They’re practically synonymous, right? Around here, football means family, food, and friends. If there’s a game on – there’s a crowd and cheering and sharing and laughter and memories being made. My very first football game that I can remember was at Kyle Field, watching the Aggies. I have no idea who…
