February Loves GIVEAWAY | Chloe Bag Included!

Hi friend!  I’m so excited for February!  Lots of good things happen in this month!  First of all, it’s both mine and my daughter’s birthday month, plus Valentine’s Day and the Super Bowl!  We’ll also be celebrating one of my good friend’s birthdays with a spa party and some of my girlfriends are coming in town to celebrate my birthday.  I love all this girlfriend time!

I also have a new LOVES GIVEAWAY for you and this one is a good one!  In honor of my birthday, I’m gifting myself a bag I’ve been drooling over for ages and since it’s more fun to share,

Hi friend!  Tonight is our Favorite Things Party and I’m so excited for it!  We had to do it virtually last year, so that makes it extra special this year!  It’s always so much fun to just get together with girlfriends (in jammies!) and eat, drink, talk, laugh, and of course, exchange gifts!

If you’re thinking of hosting your own favorite things party, or are just curious about how it works, go here.  I wrote a detailed description of how we do it and how we make it super easy!

THIS & THAT | Loves Giveaway, Family Photo Outfit Ideas & Columbus Day Sales

Hi friend!  It’s a day off for my kiddos from school and I could use one more day of weekend too!  This weekend was nonstop, starting with Jordan’s soccer game on Saturday morning, a trip to Target for things for the guest room, laundry, cleaning, and then baby shower prep for our friend Marianna!

The baby shower was at my house yesterday and was so fun and special.  Ali-Shaun did most of the heavy lifting and planned a thoughtful woodland themed shower with books as a specific gift for baby.  I’ll be sharing more on Stories today if you want to see how it came together.

Hi friend!  Happy Friday! I’m so excited to be coming to you from NYC!  I flew in to meet my boyfriend, Brian, yesterday and it is awesome to be in the city!  The weather is glorious and we had a fabulous dinner at Il Mulino Prime last night.  Brian said it was one of his favorite restaurants and now I can see why.  And it’s his birthday today!  We’re going to Balthazar to celebrate!

It’s been a fun week on the blog! If you missed it, check out Tuesday Goodies (full of simple things I use all the time!),

July Loves Giveaway

July Loves Giveaway

Hi friends!  I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July yesterday.  I ended up going fishing with Brian (a day late, but once I was sure I was feeling better) and it was really fun to get away.

The company camp is in Falfurrias, Texas, about a 4 hour drive from Houston and from there we went offshore fishing, ate, drank and enjoyed the company of about 10 other families.  I’ve only been offshore fishing one other time, many, many years ago, so it felt like the first time.  I had great beginner’s luck and caught the biggest fish on our boat!

Hi friends!  Welcome back to my blog and hello if you’re new!  I’m so glad you’re here!  I hope you had a wonderful long weekend.

One of our highlights was James and Jordan fishing for the very first time in the pond that backs up to Brian’s parent’s house.  The kids loved it and James caught three catfish!  How’s that for beginner’s luck?!  He was so stoked and now he can’t wait to go again!

We also celebrated my brother’s 40th birthday, hung out at the pool, made s’mores, and I even managed to squeeze in a workout yesterday.

Hi friends!  The kids are schooling from home today, so we’re planning to take advantage of our beautiful, warm weather and hit the pool this afternoon.  That will be a fun change of pace!  It’s been getting really warm in Houston, with random rain showers mixed in.  The weekend is looking really good though – mid 80s and sunny!

Hi friends! It’s just a hop, skip and a jump away from the weekend now!  I feel like this week is flying by! I’m excited because I have a hair appointment today, and it always feels good to get a fresh cut and color.  I’ve found that 4 months is the sweet spot for my color now.  It keeps my hair bright, but also gives it a little break from coloring.

I go to my friend Shelby at Vintage Park Salon in Spring now and she does a great job!  I highly recommend her!

September Loves GIVEAWAY

Hello friends!  I hope you enjoyed the long weekend!  Mine was really good, ending with a birthday celebration for my mom at my house.  It’s been too long since my family has been over and it was the BEST being with them, just hanging out.   The kids played, my little brothers grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and we drank mimosas!

Those simple, easy get togethers where everyone is relaxed and comfortable are my favorite. I’m really close with my brothers (I’m the oldest and they are 6 and 12 years younger than me!) It’s awesome to get all of our kids together –
