39

Today is my birthday and it’s also my very first post! I’ve wanted to start a blog for a few years and I finally feel like now is the right time. This is my present to myself...a little happy space for me to share and connect with others. I am so excited about this new adventure! 

Here are a few things about me. Don’t worry, it’s only 10 facts and not 39 ;)  

1. I have lived in TX my whole life.

2. Just celebrated my 12th wedding anniversary to B.

3. I have 2 boys, C (3) and D (1).

4. Recently went from working mom to SAHM. It’s been a lot harder adjusting than I thought. 

5. I have a serious addiction to Dr. Pepper.  I even put it on my baby registry both times.   I prefer not to drink caffeine when I’m pregnant so I add it as a present to myself after baby.  

6. I am not the greatest cook so I am all about easy and simple recipes in my life. 

7. I am a Bravo reality junkie especially the Housewives franchise. My favorite is Real Housewives of New York and I can’t wait for Housewives of Salt Lake City. 

8. My closet tends to stay messy, anyone else? 

9. I do not like socks. I’ll pass on socks with most of my shoes except for rain boots and cowboy boots. 

10. I am definitely a work in progress even at 39! 

Thanks for reading!

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Ahhhhhh, friends! Last week was a doozy. I love you TX but not your crazy weather.  Then  Now  I thought today I would just share a few things currently on my mind or currently going on in our life. It will be random but that’s how it goes!  #1- As you know, TX got hit with snowstorms and very frigid temps last week. At times, we were even colder than Alaska.   We heard from our family and friends and some were dealing with the rolling outages, no power for hours which went into days, and no water.  We were very lucky because our only issue was spotty cable/ internet. It was hard knowing that others were suffering while we were okay. However, we did what was encouraged and that was to conserve energy and water. We unplugged appliances, lowered our heat, and used only the microwave or air fryer to cook meals.  We did get to enjoy the snow, had a snowball fight  and made snow angels.  We had to improvise when it came to our snow gear.  We layered socks for mittens and we had these boots
