As a kid growing up under the warm, radiant Texas sun, I remember spending hours and hours outdoors at the pool during the summer months. I can’t honestly say that I remember using sunscreen as a kid, but that might have something to do with the fact that my parents just didn’t realize there were…
My mother and I hosted a relaxing and fun (and oh-so-pretty, if I do say so myself) baby shower for my sister this past weekend. She is due officially on June 16th but I am personally hoping it’s any day now! Knowing that she’s not a lover of all things pink, coupled with the fact…

A few days ago, I went out and treated myself to some shopping and my first pedi of the season. Too bad allergies or whatever has been kicking my ass for the past few days, too. Instead of my flip-flops becoming my best friend, I can't seem go anywhere without these: I…

The kids' school is celebrating Dr. Seuss this week by having the kids wear wacky and fun hats & socks on Friday. After going through our dress up bins down in our playroom to see what they could come up with, my oldest suggested making them out of a paper grocery bag, as we've done…
