    Pretty much guaranteed I’ll open the car door to find her socks on the floor. Every time. ❤️ (Also, driving @mtt’s truck today and feeling like a big girl.)

    Collection: Gold Candlesticks

    I recently realized that I have a lot of small (and some bigger) collections of things. So, I’m on a totally unnecessary mission to discover and photograph (appreciate) all the little collections I have around the house.

    First up, these old candlesticks.

    I thrifted a few here and there, then found a big old box of them one time at Goodwill. I like the impact they make all together. On a shelf. As a table centerpiece. Etcetera. But I also occasionally like to pull one and place solo with a candle as a little statement. Speaking of candles, I’m in the process of switching over to non-toxic and fragrant free options. So if you have any good recommendations, send them my way.

    New Year - 2020: A Few Thoughts and Lots of Photos

    Happy for a New Year over here!

    A few thoughts about it: There are several things I want to stay the same, primary of which is spending time together as a family. At home, at church, with extended family, and in travel. There are also a few things I’d like to do differently, primary of which is planning meals better and following through with just some of my many ideas. And I want to give more.

    And some pictures from New Year’s Day:

    Pumpkins are still out at our house…for now.

    They might actually stay out a while, but Christmas decor is coming soon. 🎄🤗

    Speaking of Thanksgiving (well, technically 🎃🎃) AND Christmas, this Rifle Paper Co. recipe box would be such a good hostess gift or Christmas present!

    Spent the day getting things done with @Mtt and Rowyn (while Brigsby kept his grandparents busy). One of the highlights was spending a leisurely 30 or so mins at Lowe’s looking at boards and drinking coffee. Adulting. And then also, this pretty sky after picking B up.

    Saw this Starbuck’s hack a few days ago. Tried it today. A regular coffee with pumpkin cream cold foam. Not too sweet. Grande was less than $3.

    A sweet hug from my boy yesterday in yet another dirty mirror (guess what’s on my cleaning list this week).

    We had a weird, but good several days out of town last week. One of the highlights of our trip was just finding an empty park and letting Brigsby play. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our Saturday at a random (to us, at least) park in Longview, TX.

    Picked up some boudin quesadillas for dinner tonight. They’re delicious and spicy. Brigsby wanted some. Ate a few bites. Then pointed to his mouth and said, “It’s hot in here.” Asked for some more water, then finished off two pieces. My lil’ Cajun food lovin’ boy, sha!

    In case you were wondering, a medium coffee (16 oz.) from McDonald’s with a little of my own creamer fits perfectly in a 20 oz Yeti leaving a little room so it doesn’t splash out.

    Almost exactly 6 years ago, @mtt and I were exploring the Road to Hana for the first time. That first trip to Maui was special for reasons other than it being our honeymoon. It seriously awoke a desire inside of me to live there. And, now, more than ever, I want to go. And stay.

    Celebrated 6 years of marriage to my best friend yesterday. He got tools. I got kitchen utensils. And we spent the day thrifting together. Kind of sounds like we’ve been married 46 years instead…which is pretty cool.

    Oh, and he set me up a micro.blog. Yay.
