A few weeks ago we had a quiet little family picnic at the lake… The weather was gorgeous, the conversation with my hubby was great as always, and time with Maxton was perfect (though, he looks strangely uncomfortable in the picture above). Looking back at the pictures, I can’t think of any place I’d rather be. What [...]

With all of the excitement of POST Blogger Social, I almost forgot to include it in my Thirty Before 30 accomplishments! On Thursday, November 4th, bloggers of all kinds descended upon Nest in Dallas to meet and socialize at a blogger social, hosted by Hello, Splendor & Fabulous K. Cupcakes by Citizen Sweet & Florals [...]

On my latest Thirty Before 30 accomplishment, I visited the museums… I was hoping for a day to take in the arts. But, instead took in history! I visited the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and I made it to the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. But, hey, it still counts!! I’m trucking along… Less than [...]

This year’s holiday dinner came early… But, we did it!! Every year, Kevin and I host a Holiday Dinner for our family to thank them for just being in our lives. Typically, I go a little over the top with place cards and books made with the recipes from the evening. But, this year we kept it casual with [...]

As you know, this weekend I went to the arboretum with the family. We took a nice long stroll together, which knocked another off of my Thirty Before 30 list! I’m getting there!!! The weather was perfect and it was really just a beautiful day. I’m not much of an athlete, so I was totally [...]

Well, Happy Monday!! I hope you had an amazing weekend! As for me, I made it through after my near-death experience with the stomach bug I got on Thursday and kicked down another of my Thirty Before 30 and went on a road trip with the family! We went to Austin for the weekend so [...]

So, I know it shouldn’t be, but No. 17 on my Thirty Before 30 list was a tough one for me. I vowed to take a day to spend with Max and not think about all of the work that needed to be done. This past Sunday, I really had a ton of things to [...]

This weekend we headed to the Fort Worth Zoo for a little family outing to celebrate my Mom’s birthday! The weather was amazing and it was just a lovely day to check another item off of my Thirty Before 30 list. It was so fun to watch Maxton watch the animals and take it all [...]

As promised, I am sharing pics from last week’s State Fair Day at the office. Every year we shut down the computers and close the office for a little team building at the State Fair of Texas. There’s rides, there’s fried foods, there’s carnies… and there’s me turned ten year-old. I literally lose it when [...]

I’ve sort of been laying low on my Thirty Before 30 adventure. Mainly because I’ve been insanely busy! Well, I’m back on the saddle…. and I only have a little over two months before the infamous ‘dirty thirty’, which is sure to be a little less than ‘dirty’ since Maxton’s 1st Birthday is stealing my [...]
