In August my sweet boy turned one year old. To celebrate, we decided to throw a Texas birthday party for our little Texas baby. It was SO much fun planning and getting everything together for his party! I tried to keep things simple, but stick to the theme as much as possible. I didn’t want […]

Butternut squash, sweet potatoes and pecans come together for a delicious Harvest Pasta Salad, perfect for your next fall dinner! Wowzers. It’s been a hot second since I last blogged. Between all the different hats I wear, sadly my sweet little blog has been pushed to the back burner. I’m hoping to get back in […]

I feel like every year as the seasons change and I decorate, my style changes a little bit too. Partly based on where I’m living (this is the first time to live in the same place for more than a year since I got married) but also due to my current likes/dislikes and how many […]

A while ago we bought some Kirkland’s pulled pork from Costco (if you haven’t tried it yet, you NEED TO. It’s seriously life changing). To go with it, Isaac bought three different kinds of barbecue sauce. Then we had a potluck at church so I bought more pork and more sauce at Costco to make […]

This is the first recipe of September and I would be remiss if I didn’t celebrate the end of summer (aka the beginning of fall) with a yummy pumpkin recipe! These Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are seriously SO GOOD. I know the official first day of fall is the 23rd, but I am so ready […]

I ended up reading list after list, review after review, and asked all my friends […]

When I need a quick, healthy, last minute recipe my go to lately has been this delicious Whole30 Chicken Stir Fry. It’s taken me years to create a good recipe that not only had lots of flavor and a yummy sauce, but is also healthy and wholesome. And I have to say… This recipe was […]

Well friends. Isaac and I did it. We kept a little human alive for 12 whole months and I still can’t believe it. What an amazing, crazy, emotional, joyful and laughter-filled year. I have absolutely loved every minute of being James’s mom. Every stage has seriously been my favorite… From the tiny newborn snuggles to […]

Well. It looks like this whole “writing the update two weeks late” thing has become a trend. But hey.. I’m just glad I actually get them done because I know I will be SO THANKFUL for these posts when James is older and I’m feeling all those nostalgic mama feels.  As I feel like I’ve […]
