It was back to work this week and last! For some reason, this transition almost felt more difficult than going back after maternity leave. I can’t pull ‘the new mom card’ anymore, and Emerson is go-go-go all the time now. She seemed very excited to be back in daycare. So excited, that she didn’t nap at all, and came home sleepy and cranky. With Matt being back on client work, and two evening events at work this week, I felt…

Spring is in full bloom here! Flowers are blossoming, the birds are chirping, and our new palm for the roof deck is thriving in the Dallas sun. It’s also that time of year that we plant new flowers for the baskets on our front fence. Oh, and I should tell you that there’s a pea in the pod. Or should I say a pear in the pod, as I approach 18 weeks tomorrow! Yes – you read that correctly. For…
Hello. I owe you a post from my trip to hill country for spring break. Matt and I made somewhat last minute plans to take a road trip, and ended up booking 4 nights at Travassa Austin. We left after waking up on Thursday, and stopped at a classic bbq joint in Belton for lunch. We ordered the combo plate with pulled pork and brisket from Millers, and loved every bit of it (well, maybe not the onions:) We arrived…
Hope y’all had a great long weekend – it felt amazing to have that one extra day and we did a lot of relaxing over here. Ever since writing this post about treating my IBS, I’ve received quite a few requests to blog about my daily eats. I know I fill this space with pictures of pork belly, bourbon, and tons of tacos, but I promise I cook Sunday-Friday:) It’s taken me almost 5 years to figure out how to…
I’m taking a break from my trip recaps to say hello! I feel like I haven’t written a regular post in a loong time. Since coming home I’ve spent 91% of my time on the couch, doing nothing and also working on my summer curriculum work for school (which is almost finished, yay!) I’ve basically felt sick for two weeks, and my doctor finally figured out that I have shingles! I’m on the mend now, and I’m just relieved to…
It’s awesome how anti-bullying campaigns are sweeping through schools these days! Internet bullying is out of control though, and I can only hope that the generation that’s being hit hard with the anti-bullying messages in schools today will change the internets tomorrow. This video was shared at my school and I wanted to pass it along because I love this man! Enjoy!…
-I loved Caitlin’s post on challenging your own personal narrative – surrounding yourself with positivity is one of the most important pieces of advice out there, and it’s been essential for me this year. Plus, looking on the bright side of things and associating yourself with positive people might be a sign of emotional intelligence! -I’ve started marking overnight oatmeal to take with me to work and it’s such a nice morning treat. I’d forgotten how much I love it.…
I’m trying to remind myself to slow down every once and a while. With the wedding to-do list constantly in my brain, my thoughts are always racing. Even when I’m “watching” tv these days, I’m really just on my computer and don’t actually absorb anything on the screen. I think I’ve unconsciously started to slow down with my posts, and will likely blog a little less often in these last two months before Matt’s graduation and wedding. One thing at…
It was a dark and rainy day, but I was strangely in a fabulous mood. I think it had something to do with the very, very negative meeting I had today. It reminded me of all the sunny, positive people I have in my life and all I have to look forward to. And spring is on the way!!!!! After work, I went to the gym for my favorite class and then had yet another bubbling crock pot dinner waiting…
