I am so freakin' thrilled that for the first time in six (!!) years, I am living in one house for more than a year! Crazy how time flies when I'm not moving state-to-state or changing mailing addresses. With that being said, now that we've lived in our little casita for a year, it was … Continue reading Small Rental Updates
In the last decade, I traveled near and far and fell in love both through new places and new faces. At coffee with a friend, we were talking about three words that we would use to describe ourselves, and one that came to mind was, Francophile. When she asked me what a French-inspired woman embodies, … Continue reading Pardon My French
The Good List: Another valedictorian to make you proud, the sound of a bat making contact with the baseball & breakfast tacos done right. v-Alex-dictorian I thought I was the braniac of my family - nope, I’m not kidding at all. And then, these two little brothers of mine started talking about calculus at a … Continue reading Sweet Wednesday No. 11
“Here’s to fresh coffee, sunshine, morning walks, blooming flowers & all other simple but glorious pleasures of life.” There’s so much I want to do and see in my state that’s unrelated to Disney or Spring Training.

I’ll give a humble brag that I always give the best gifts – I know, it sounds cocky but it’s so true! I love putting forth the effort and seeing the receiver’s reaction when they open the prezzie up. I put months of thought into every gift I give and Heidi + Chase’s wedding … Continue reading The Gift that Keeps on Giving
And yet, another room that has been successfully transformed! It feels so good! I didn't change the tiles, or that horrid yellow wall, but went for some more neutrals. I really wanted a navy-blue couch, but those are a little pricier than I was willing to spend, but whenever I find my "forever" home, I'll splurge on … Continue reading Couch Surfing
The next stop on the home tour is the kitchen! I have provided a lovely before shot for y'all so you can see that although the change is small, it is quite dramatic.

“It’s beginning to look a lot like cocktails” I LOVE sitting down, grabbing a pen and writing a good, old-fashioned letter.

I’ve … Continue reading Sending the Warmest Hugs
