I HAVE BEEN WAITING oh so patiently to read the new Jodi Picoult book… and I was not disappointed! If you are new to the world, or have been living under a rock for the last 15 years… Jodi Picoult is a fantastic author who has written, in my humble opinion, some of the greatest … More Good Reads
For the last three summers, we have trekked up to Mammoth Lakes, CA to experience summer in the Sierras, and this summer was no different. Just like last summer, we brought along our good friends to camp alongside us. It’s awesome to have a family that you all get along – the kids adore each … More RV Adventures – Mammoth Lakes
It’s another Friday and I have found some incredible ways to make this weekend bring a smile to your face! Summer and binge-watching tv shows just go hand-in-hand for Greg and me. With both of us having the summer off, we like to stay up late and get in as many episodes of a show … More TGIF – fun finds
Summer lunches usually end up looking more like a mish-mash of snack foods and leftovers thrown on a plate – but I’m not complaining. I love snacking throughout the day and I find nothing wrong with this eating. As long as I have some fresh fruits and veggies on hand, I’m good! But, sometimes I … More Apple and Prosciutto Bites
A few months ago, my sister-n-law, Jessica (check out her blog, Budgeting with Boys – it’s incredible!) told me about stripping her sheets and towels.

Happy Friday! With my mom in town this past week, we took part in our favorite past time – shopping- and hit up some pretty good sales that are going on. Obviously, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is always a fan favorite, but so many retailors are also having incredible sales right now, too. Here are … More TGIF- fun finds

After spending a delightful 24 hours with my friend Asya and her family, we spent the rest of the trip with my parents, my brother, sister-in-law, and two amazing nephews. Driftwood is an adorable suburb of Austin where the houses are gorgeous … More Summer Vibes – Texas with Family
I am a lazy cook in the summer. Greg often jokes that on weekends and during the summer I starve my family out. During the school year I kick-ass on preparing three meals a day. During the summer they are lucky if it is one solid meal a day. I think it’s good for them … More Pesto Pasta Salad
This summer is flying by- right?!? My parents are currently visiting so we are busy enjoying all the good food and (for them!) soaking up the non-humid weather! I recently ran across this poster on IG and I am dead!!! I teach this to my students every year and I think it would be the … More TGIF- fun finds
Living with a preteen is hard, like really hard! I understand high school aged kids – it’s what I have been dealing with the last 20 years. But middle school… that is a mystery. Things that Tay liked one day, the next, is so uncool! I am forever trying to figure out the trends and … More Summer Vibes – Tay’s Texas Paradise
