I want to thank everyone for following along in my Thirty Before 30 adventure! It has really been such an enriching process and I’m actually kind of sad it’s over. Thanks for all your support and amazing comments… I hope that this inspired you to make time for the little things in life that make [...]
Ok, this is it! The last number in my Thirty Before 30 challenge… I have to say, I kinda cheated on this one. But, guess what!? It’s MY birthday! I planned to go out to eat and only eat dessert with Kevin on the night of my birthday. But, after planning Max’s party, waiting in [...]
For my Thirty Before 30 I really wanted to bring some photos in to the house of family. I mean, I’m married to a photographer for crying out loud. For us, it was just about taking the time and setting aside the money to print pictures and buy frames. For our frame table, here are [...]
This past weekend we stopped by the Dallas Farmers Market to buy a little produce as part of my Thirty Before 30. I didn’t have a ton of time, but, I made it out with some amazing pomegranates that I can’t wait to dive into this week. I am really excited to take a day sometime [...]
I celebrated my 30th yesterday!! So, this week I’ll be finishing my posts from the rest of my Thirty Before 30. I can’t believe it’s over, but I got it ALL done! On my list, I planned to play Rock Band on Wii… and, Oh yes, we did!! We rocked out with our Wii out! [...]

I know it shouldn’t need to be on a list, but Kevin is usually the one who cooks dinner… So, I wanted to be able to treat him to a delicious rustic dinner. I made lamb (and cooking meat really grosses me out – so this was a big deal!) with a mint pan sauce, [...]
Happy Monday!! I wanted to jump in and share with you my favorite part of the weekend… We took our first family portrait this weekend, spurred on by my Thirty Before 30 list. And, let me tell you, it pays to have photographers as friends! Poor Kevin is always behind the lens, so our good [...]
So, for this Thirty Before 30 adventure, I headed out intending to see my friends band, J. Charles and the Train Robbers. Unfortunately, my coach turned into a pumpkin at midnight when my babysitter’s clock ran out and we missed them play! But, what we did see what a treat! This bluegrass band, called Petal Shop, was on [...]
Well, I have to say, I outdid myself with this brunch on Sunday! We had brown bag asparagus, eggs over easy, buckwheat blinis with creme fraiche & caviar, buttered brioche, and prosciutto, fig, & melon stacks. Did I mention champagne with St Germain?? And… 4 bottles of it? So, the food was good. But, the best was [...]
