Bring On The Rain
Two of my favorite “Rain” Songs
Be Out There Challenge
Get Outside. Be Out There. Seems simple right? A pledge to spend one hour a day for a week outside with your kids, turn everything off and just go outside; exploring, playing, letting imaginations and feet run wild. That’s what I pledged to do. (you can follow that link and pledge to do it, too) …
Blackberry Lemon Coffee Cake
This might be my favorite “breakfast” cake that I’ve ever made, not to mention eaten. I am calling it a coffee cake because it’s meant for brunches and breakfast which traditionally involve coffee; as I’m not a coffee drinker, we had mimosas :-). The rich tang of the lemon, the sweet, juicy blackberries combine in…
Weekly Winners
For Maddie Aerating the Mondavi Nature’s Diamonds Pastel Pallet Waiting For The Game To Start I didn’t take this next picture; Mr Lady did. It’s one of my favorite pictures from Easter. Boys Will Be Boys *Her fan is covered with about 15 nerf darts* For more weekly winners go see the fantabulous Lotus
Milestones
Princess has had a big few weeks milestone-wise that is. She lost her second tooth, started reading chapter books and while at Mr. Lady’s house for Easter, she got on a BIG BMX bike belonging to 3of3 and took off. No training wheels. (cue mom fainting) I’m not sure who had more fun or got…
For Maddie
One Year ago, April 7th, 2009 one family’s life was changed forever by the loss of their beautiful, giggling daughter, Maddie. One year ago, the internet showed itself in a way that left many speechless, more in tears and thousands upon thousands of dollars donated in honor and memory of this one little girl. The…
Easter Feast
My Easter meal was a gift. It was spent at a good friend’s house with her family and watching our husband’s meet, bond and then spend 3 straight days hanging out, laughing, shooting nerf darts and flying mini helicopters around the house while our 5 children giggled, whispered, laughed, pouted, shouted and bonded… I have…
Picture Spring
I have talked before about challenging myself in my photography and there are some women are truly inspirational not only in their photographs but as people, too. One of those women, Tracey, is teaching a one month photography class online called; Picture Spring. Every morning we get an email with inspiration and a challenge for…
A Musician’s Hands
Y’all know that I love photographing hands, I love the story they tell… whether they’re brand new or 100 years old; every hand tells a story. Nathan and I were very lucky this past weekend to be invited by a good friend’s husband to watch him play with one of our favorite Texas musicians, Cory…
Spring Brunch
Scalloped Potatoes, Coffee Malts, Berry Lemonade, Macaroni and Cheese and Ham. All featured, devoured and LOVED at our Spring Brunch last weekend. (full disclosure: I hosted the Spring Brunch House Party as a part of my Kitchenista fabulousness) I’m going to show y’all the video and then share the insanely delicious and easy recipes. Now…
Berry Lemonade
Spring has sprung down here in South Texas and with Spring comes warmer weather and more time outdoors! One of my favorite super refreshing drinks to make for friends and family during warmer weather is Berry Lemonade. This Lemonade is ridiculously simple to make and yet it’s impressive enough to serve at any party or…
A Texas Tradition
It’s a Texas Tradition; Bluebonnet Pictures. One that I wrote about missing last year. So, today Nathan and I got the kids dressed in their Big Sister, Little Brother tees wiped their faces clean and headed down the access road to one of the amazing patches of bluebonnets that blissfully, gorgeously line our highways this…
