Sheer exhaustion. That’s all I have to say for the fact that it’s late Tuesday evening and I’m just getting around to sharing last week’s favorites and giving y’all the linky. We got mom settled back at home and she’s doing well – thank y’all for the love and thoughts and prayers and concern. Let’s…

What a WEEK! School started. My mom was in the hospital recovering from an esophagectamy for esophageal cancer. We brought her home to our house Saturday evening, and we’ve turned the guest room into a makeshift hospital room, and it was a holiday weekend, and.. and… and…. I kinda missed Monday. Sorry, y’all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I…

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!! Happy Monday, y’all! First – I want to share a video with y’all that my brother shared with me.  It made me giggle. It’s Alice Cooper for Staples back to school and I kinda love it.   Did you watch it?  Hope you’re smiling. Y’all outdid yourselves last week.  I can’t…

I don’t know about y’all, but we’re in the last days of summer ’round here.  We’ve just gotten back from an absolutely wonderful weekend in Galveston with Carnival and the Galveston CVB {hey FTC – they paid for our accommodations and gave us passes to city attractions} I have a whole post coming with tons…

Hey y’all!  I hope y’all have had a wonderful week! My birthday was beyond compare – my husband won the internet, the marriage, the year with his surprise for me.  I’ll share more about that later!

It’s Birthday WEEK! 🙂 I’ll be 35 on Wednesday and hopefully will be out on the boat in the middle of a large body of water celebrating with my family and soaking up the sun and laughter. Hope y’all are enjoying yourselves and relishing in the last bit of summer before school starts back up…

Happy Monday, y’all! Hope everyone had a great weekend.  We got a pay it forward surprise yesterday when a neighbor walked across the street and handed Nathan an envelope with 4 tickets and a parking pass to yesterday’s Astros vs Marlins game.  This was the kids first ever MLB game and they loved it!  The…

Happy Mouthwatering Monday!  Hope y’all had a delicious weekend!  Ours was filled with recipe testing, playing in the rain, go cart rides and learning to skateboard! There was some serious deliciousness last week, I spent a good portion of my time drooling over my keyboard and I blame it all on y’all 🙂 Alright, let’s…

I hope y’all all had an amazing 4th of July! Ours was filled with food, friends and frivolity. The kids got to experience playing with sparklers for the first time and they had a blast – {no pun intended}   Y’all’s recipes last week were inspired – SO much yumminess!  Here are the family favorites…

So much summer happening around here!  I have a working computer again {YAY} but so many moments where I could have worked, have been pre-empted by freckle faced kids with sparkling eyes who want me to spend time with them. We’ve been heatin’ up our bbq and cooling off at the sprinkler park and by…
