10 years. I have been blogging for 10 YEARS. An entire decade spent sharing my life on the internet. I started blogging as a way to update my family. I believe my first blog was called Maddy and Mommy or something along those lines. From there my blog chronicled Will and I dating, getting engaged and eventually married and then it became Texas Tanners. A few years later I chose to take my blog in a more professional direction and I rebranded with Chaos and Coffee. And of course from there, Moms Without Answers was born alongside my best friend Channing. We have run this blog together for almost 4 years ... READ MORE >>

At this point, we don’t know where it will stop. I have been thinking of the victims all day. I have been thinking of their families and the communities, of the horror they are about to go through. And I thought of my two sweet girls, who know nothing of this. My two sweet girls, who I will have to explain tragedies like this to. Sadly, I am no stranger to tragedies hitting my community. I live in the DC area and vividly remember 9/11, living in a town where so many of my friends’ ... READ MORE >>
10 Ways to Celebrate Fall
Fall is HERE. And despite fully enjoying the Summer, those falling leaves and rainy days are giving me so much joy right now. And with the sheer number of #PSLs I've seen on the 'gram lately, it seems y'all are in the same boat. And I know everyone has a Fall Bucket List. Apple picking, Pumpkin patching, hay bale riding, trick or treating... and of course I'll be putting all of those on our list as well. I mean duh - I live in Washington.

Summers are so busy for us, Back to School is just manic, ... READ MORE >>
