Happy St. Patty’s Day friends! Spring has sprung and so have I with a terrible cold (that might actually be the flu?).  How passée, honestly. The only bright side about getting sick is the idea that I’ve gotten it out of the way for the rest of the season. I know that theory doesn’t hold water, but a girl can be delusional in her recovery. My sister Launa and her husband Chad are visiting me in Houston this weekend.  ..read more

Hello, friends! What’s your hidden talent? Earlier this week I was chauffeuring my son and his friend around town when the other kid was talking about how his mom can make anything. Her own clothes! Furniture! Songs! And it’s true. His mom is very creative; I admire her greatly, and I agree that she could in fact do anything.  Then there was a pause and I heard my darling child say, “Well … My mom can eat dinner faster than anyone in the entire world.” And, actually, he’s right ..read more

Friends hi, hello! Let’s put a little bow on the 9th week of this fine year.  I feel like I’ve been had my hands over my eyes for the entire start of this year, like I’m not sure I’m watching a scary movie or just a little thriller. I think I’m ready to take my hands down, slowly.  I think I’m ready to dub year a thrill. Anyway, Amy says spring is coming and as a fellow solar powered babe, I’m ready – I’ve got my dresses and Birkenstocks queued up ..read more

Hi, friends! It’s been a little while since I’ve written here and I’ve missed you. When I told Joy I was heading to Mexico City she invited me to share the 5 best places I ate, and I couldn’t say no. I don’t know how to condense this experience into an essay. How do you describe the feeling of doing something new, with friends you love, and it being the most perfect experience of your life ..read more

Hello friends! We have nearly made it to March, which means springtime is on the horizon. The end of winter always makes me feel as if I’ve survived something: like the darkness of the year is over for a while, and it’s time to thrive. One might call me a spring and summer enthusiast, and while I don’t love sweating, I do love warmer days. Part of this is because I’m a teacher, so summer holds a special place in my heart, but mostly, I just love the sun and flowers and everything (including me) coming to life again ..read more

One finger swipe up through my text thread with Dad will tell you we’ve been on a cookie bender lately.  The dust up dates a few weeks back to January of this fine year when King Arthur Baking announced their recipe of the year. A supersized and super soft, as they would describe it, chocolate chip cookie made with bread flour (GASP, truly) and a procedure list so intense I basically had to Phone A Friend – Dad ..read more

There’s a movement I’ve noticed lately of friends sending Valentine’s Day cards instead of holiday cards and I’m fully here for this emerging trend.  Our friend Toby was an early adopter, nay, likely creator of this trend and her family Valentine’s Day card is the most anticipated card of the year.  It’s hard for the mail to peak so early in the year, but it does.  This year, our friend and blog photographer Karlee upped the ante with an entire Valentine’s Day care package filled with individually wrapped gifts.  ..read more

Hello, friends! I am here today to use my platform to protest my least favorite day in February. And no, I’m not talking about Valentine’s Day. Obviously, I’ll observe any holiday dedicated to love and candy. Instead, I want to make a motion to remove Groundhog Day from our national calendar. It’s an ancient holiday dedicated to a literal rodent. Why are we celebrating this day when we could replace it with Rosa Parks’ birthday ..read more

For the last ten years I’ve spent Fat Tuesday (the culmination of over a month of Mardi Gras celebrations) in the streets on New Orleans with breakfast in my pocket.  With all of its revelry, Fat Tuesday starts around 8 in the morning when friends would decend upon my Bywater neighborhood home for breakfast, cocktails, and last-minute costume adjustments.  With a day full of libations and walking miles decked out in sequins and headdresses, a solid breakfast was essential.  ..read more
