Family, Photography, and Finds from a Professional Texas Mom Blogger
I love Easter. I love the vibrant colors, the family time, and that it means more to me now than just hunting eggs. This year, when thinking of fun crafts to make for Easter gifts, I knew I wanted something colorful, fun, and inspirational. I decided to make an Easter Egg Bouquet filled with inspiration...and gotta have some candy in there … [Read more...]
Well, almost cook free. One of my favorite things to buy for holiday entertaining (or any entertaining), is party trays. These can be trays of vegetables, fruit, etc. For the holidays though, meats and cheese are always good! For our small gathering, we opted for the small deli platter, TGI Friday's Buffalo Wings, Delimex Taquitos, and … [Read more...]
Gift wrapping. It's one of those things that drive me crazy because I'm having to look for scissors, ribbon, paper, tape and of course, it's never handy is it? I saw this idea a long while back and just new it was exactly what I needed. While mine is not near as classy & pretty as hers, it's perfect for my needs, time, and … [Read more...]
Are you on Pinterest? If not, you should be because that's where I found this adorable idea! I'm making these Easter Peeps S'mores for Truett's pre-k class along with the Goldfish Carrots. I think they're both gonna be a big hit for their little Easter baskets! How will a S'more taste made with a Peeps rabbit? My own husband said it was … [Read more...]
I created a super easy & cheap table centerpiece for the 4th of July holiday and today I'm sharing some fun & cute candy filled firecrackers that make great party favors! What I originally wanted to do was use 4th of July wrapping paper but I couldn't seem to find any so I decided to go with tissue paper; red, white and blue. I used a … [Read more...]
With Mother's Day around the corner, not only am I trying to decide what to get my own Mom but I'm also dropping hints to my family for myself. You'd think after 18+ years of marriage that my husband would be able to get the kiddos together and pick something out on his own but nope. He needs all the help he can get. Don't most men? First … [Read more...]
I just love the Easter holiday! Look at all these Easter goodies for the kiddos! I wanted to create three Easter baskets for my son Truett and two of his friends; Chloe and Chase. I found some great items to put in them like bubbles ($1), sidewalk chalk ($1), mini 'magna doodles' ($1), and of course, tons of candy eggs. I bought a couple of … [Read more...]
During the middle years of our marriage, I did a lot of crafts. In fact, I custom made things and sold them to folks so we'd have grocery money. While I did need the money back then, I just really enjoyed crafting in general and promised myself that in 2011, I'd do more of the things I loved, like crafting. Today I'm bringing you a … [Read more...]
Okay, I got my bag! I LOVE it and I'm so glad I chose the diaper bag because it fits EVERYTHING! My camera, my flips, bottle water, snacks and so much more. The outside pockets are perfect for my iphone. I chose to put my cowboys on it, which also happens to be my husband and my boys. LOVE IT!!!! The quality of the print on both … [Read more...]
What? Okay, so WE were there with THEM.....WHAT? Okay, we had the chance to MEET Brooke Burke at the Premiere of A Woman's World (which is hilarious!) and not just her, also met Mel B ( a spice girl who was also on Dancing with Stars). It was fun indeed and Brooke is so thin. For reals, her waist was smaller than my upper thigh. She was very … [Read more...]

Christmas is almost here but as for most, it won't be much. We went with quality of quantity this year so one kid only has 2 gifts to open. Of course little man will make out this year but he's two and was actually in need of some fun toys! A couple of things that he doesn't have are boots and jeans but we'll probably hit the stores after the … [Read more...]
I have many faves actually but this one is close to my heart because my son did the artwork at the age of 5. Most of my ornaments are western except for a few that are family ones handed down but that year I thought it would be fun to have the kids get creative. Tyler has always drawn. He's always been pretty good at it too. Anyways, since … [Read more...]
