Eight is Great! Unless it’s the eighth week of quarantine, that is. Then eight is just … okay-ish. Another week under our belts and honestly there was a second wave of grief and anxiety that overcame me this week. We are wrapping up our school year and while I welcome my title of “Mrs. Mommy” to be retired for now,… View Post
I am happy to report that I finished another book… and actually devoured it in two days! I have been wanting to read Evvie Drake Starts Over ever since my make-believe-bestie Jenna Bush Hager recommended it as part of her book club last summer. I instantly loved the characters and loved the sweet story line. This is the exact type… View Post

Happy Taco Tuesday my friends, and what a fun coincidence that it’s also Cinco de Mayo! Even though we can’t have a big fiesta at our fave Mexican joint, we are still planning our own Taco Tuesday fiesta at home.

Overall, the topic was interesting and I was torn on whose side to be on the entire book. Such a Fun Age –… View Post
Well here we are again. Wrapping up our SEVENTH week (i think?!?!?) of whatever we want to call this! Sheltering in Place? Quarantine? The Ultimate Test of Our Sanity? Whatever your current mood is, I am so glad you are here today to just take a few minutes for some fun lighthearted coffee talk. I think we can all use… View Post
In the almost three years we have lived in our home, I don’t think our front porch has ever gotten so much use. Don’t get me wrong, our front porch has always been a bit of a landing spot for my family during our normal routine. However, with us “staying home” but wanting to feel more connected to the community,… View Post
It’s no secret that we take tacos very seriously around here! So I am not sure why I haven’t shared more Mexican food inspired posts before- but that changes today! I am excited to start a new series called TACO TUESDAY. (How original, I know… ha ha.) But why mess up a good thing? Since we can’t go out to… View Post
