Last night we had a little belated birthday party for my mom at our house, and it was so happy! So my mom and dad came over, and the four of us listened to John Mayer, drank good red wine, laughed a lot, and ate this pie! My mom is the queen of pie, so […]

The Frio makes me ache in that beautiful, longing kind of way. After the long hot drive, after lugging all our belongings into the quaint cabins, after greeting nearby family members, I face the river. Standing at the top, looking down on the crystal clear aqua colored water, a flush of emotions and memories flood […]

This post comes in the wake of so many people asking me how we care for Bowie’s hair – so I did an Insta story explaining my methods and favorite products and I’m listing them for you here! If you missed the stories no worries – just look on my Bowie highlight for the explanations. […]

Kenton loves banana flavored things. It’s kind of weird and I love him for it. I mean, he gets banana flavored snow cones. I didn’t even know they did that. But he loves them. Once we were traveling with family and we tried this cake at a luncheon. When he bit into it he did […]

As you might know, we’re in the middle of a huge life transition right now. A quiet day at the creek was just what I needed in this season. There’s something about munching popcorn while watching minnows eat algae and listening to a creek run that just makes a heart quiet down for a little […]

Kenton and I have been praying to root ourselves in one spot for a long, long time. Years of renting homes and moving around a lot has led us to value and desire the idea of staying in one place for a long, long time. We think it’s wise and we think it’s good. When […]

  Dripping Springs, Texas, here we come! I can’t believe I’m even writing this post because this is truly such a crazy surprise!! After a lot of thought and prayer, Kenton has accepted job at an incredible church in Dripping Springs, Texas (which is just outside Austin) and we’ll be moving there mid summer! His […]

  In this post, I allow my inner animal lover to fully emerge, because I really love animals. My Grandfather Papa calls me Dr. Doolittle. And I love it. And it’s accurate. And I got it from my Grandmother, Mimi. I love dogs and horses and birds and guinea pigs and cows and whales and basically […]

The other day I heard the doorbell ring. It was about 2 pm and I wasn’t expecting anyone, so as always, I proceeded with caution. Aside – why does the doorbell always freak me out?! I think it’s just never expected so I’m always on high alert when I hear it. Okay anyway, aside over. […]

Guys eat a lot. They just do. When Kenton and I got married I was blown away with how much food he ate compared to how much food I ate. I couldn’t keep him full! Making meals for both of us was really challenging. Not only was I relearning the quantity of food that would […]
