When I Was The Perfect Mom...... I know what you must be thinking. That I have completely lost my mind thinking I was ever the perfect mom, but you would be wrong. Once upon a time, I was the perfect mom. That time however, was BEFORE I HAD KIDS. Last week my friend Kristin and I were talking about it and said it jokingly about what great parents we were prior to ever having kids ourselves. We made bold "I will never" statements and helped "parent" our friends kids while silently critiquing them. Telling ourselves that one day, we would do it different. We would do it better. Here were some of my "quality" perfect parenting ... READ MORE >>
Child Safe Blind Makeover
Since moving into our house oh... 3 years ago we have been making constant changes to our home. Like most new home owners we have painted, bought new furniture etc. and made the house work for us. Last month I shared with you our Family Command Center that we created in our main living area. What I didn't show you was the hazardous material some may call window blinds or shades that have been giving me anxiety since we moved in. Not to worry, no Everly's or Ellie's were harmed in the making of this post. But, as you can tell by the wonderful demonstration this little model is giving us our shades were full of cords that were easy ... READ MORE >>
Houston We Have A Pollo
Friends, the time has come and the day is finally here.....HOUSTON WE HAVE A POLLO. You may remember last month when we shared our amazing experience at an early tasting of El Pollo Loco and how we were so excited for them to be the answer to our weeknight dinners for when we are busy and on the go. Last week I got the amazing opportunity to go to the Grand Opening event at the new El Pollo Loco Houston location. I was given the total VIP treatment. Channing sadly had a death in the family, and had to head out of town to the funeral and so I invited one of my other besties Kristin to come and join me. When we pulled up there was ... READ MORE >>
Surviving a Child Just Like Me
I wake up every morning in disbelief that I am the mother of 3 little girls. I grew up thinking my home would be full of boys. Scruffy, rough, loud, messy, loving boys. As each pregnancy came I just knew it would be a boy and with each ultrasound... it's a girl! I would not trade my girls for the world but the idea of having girls scared me. Heck, I remember what it is to be a girl navigating through life, it was hard! I remember being full of insecurities over analyzing every little move I made to make sure "they" would still find me acceptable. I remember the choices I made that I wish I could take back. I remember ... READ MORE >>
Crockpot Pumpkin Bread Pudding
Crockpot Pumpkin Bread Pudding. I mean do I really even need to say anything else? I think not......but, I will. Houston hasn't really received the memo that it is fall, so sometimes you just have to make your own Fall. How do I do that? I crank the AC down to 70, light my favorite Leaves candle and bake up some pumpkin goodness. This week {yes, I bake pumpkin things weekly during the fall....it may or may not be a full on obsession} I decided to give this Crockpot Pumpkin Bread Pudding a try and let me just say, it is AMAZING!!!! Amazing, and oh so easy. Just need a few minutes to prepare and then you leave it for ... READ MORE >>
