Love Life Family...and then some
Houston Texas Mom Blogger
I returned home from San Francisco last Monday feeling a little blue. The entire time I was there it was as you see in the photo above. Sunny, clear, and spectacular. When I arrived in Houston it was cold, wet, and gray…and that didn’t sit very well with me. But there was something else too. Even in the very short amount of time I spent in SF, I began to feel deeply connected to it. Almost as if I had {Read More}
I once overheard my Mom tell a friend that her children were her one consistent true joy in life. At the time, I smiled and thought “Awww, mama loves me.” Now though, years later…I know exactly what she meant when she said that. I wait for afternoons and weekends to come with such anticipation…because I simply cannot wait to spend the days with my personal joy. This little boy just lights up my life so much, I tell you. Last {Read More}
At the risk of offending someone, I will readily admit that The Little Mermaid has never been in my Top 5 favorite Disney movies list. It probably should be. I mean, it came out when I was in 1st grade…prime age for that sort of thing, but for whatever reason I just wasn’t crazy about it. Fast forward to our recent vacation at the Art of Animation Resort. We stayed in the Little Mermaid themed area, and I have to {Read More}
I remember going to see the Lion King for the first time like it was yesterday. I went with my mom and brother, and we saw it at the AMC 6 in the mall by our house. After the movie, we talked about it in the car all the way home. It was one of the best Disney movies ever!, I remember saying. In the weeks to follow I would become obsessed with the film… eventually owning the sound track, {Read More}
Now that I’m home from the Happiest Place on Earth, I can honestly say…no one does Halloween better than Disney. No one. Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Halloween! P.S. I paid for our Disney Vacation with my own money, I just wanted to share our wonderful time with you!
I love Fall. The promise of cooler days and the turning of leaves is something that I look forward to each year with excitement. And what would Fall be without The Texas Renaissance Festival? For me, the two have always gone hand in hand. Since I was girl I have loved to go and take part in the visual feast that is TRF. This year was no exception. I just live for this, you know? I get my face painted {Read More}
I just returned from a 5 day trip to New York City and although I’m not yet caught up on my laundry or sleep…I absolutely could not wait to come home and upload these amazing shots I captured in Central Park. I walked through the park alone one afternoon for several hours and it was the most amazing (dare I say, cathartic) experience. If you are in the city and have an entire day to devote to Central Park, I {Read More}
It has been a few months since I returned home from the Disney Social Media Moms Conference, but I’m only just now sharing my favorite photos. I know, I know…it’s awful, but I’m insanely busy and just got around to editing them and for 2…I have Disney on the brain a lot these days…because we are going back in October! That’s right…we’ll be back in the land of magic in late October, just in time for Halloween celebrations! I’m just {Read More}
It rained almost all day yesterday…and the day before that. To be honest, prolonged nasty weather has a horrible effect on my mood. It makes me…well, nasty. But by evening it seemed the rain was done for awhile..and the sun even tried to peek through the clouds for a bit so we took advantage and headed over to the local splash pad. (see how much Jackson has grown since we went last year) It was cool, quiet and the perfect {Read More}
The view from one of my evening runs. If you follow my facebook at all, you know that I’ve been running now for over 3 weeks. I don’t know why it took me so long to motivate myself to do this, I mean, several of my friends started awhile back and I saw then how much it changed their lives for the better…but I finally decided to take the plunge for myself. Another huge source of motivation for me to {Read More}
