Things don’t always work out the way we plan. I know this about life, but still get disappointed when things don’t go the way I want. Today is my wedding anniversary. The day I committed myself to the man I love. Forever. We spent a few days at the Houstonian, the hotel where our wedding […]

I love living in Houston because there are so many opportunities to expose the kids to the arts. For the past two days, the children and I have enjoyed performances at Miller Outdoor Theater. Yesterday, young children from throughout the city performed on various instruments. There was one girl who was six years old playing […]

This weekend was fabulous. After a long week during which I barely saw Lance, I decided we needed a night to ourselves. We fed the kids a real meal, (not frozen chicken or mac-n-cheese), and put them to bed. (Not Squirt!) We waited thirty minutes for the young ones to fall asleep then took off […]

Last night, I woke up to find Goose snuggled in bed with me. Actually, I didn’t really notice because he is smart enough not to make any noise when he comes to my room. If he doesn’t wake me up, I can’t send him back to his room. Gifted, this child. The Baby Hulk isn’t […]

I took the boys to Moody Gardens today. BY MYSELF. Okay, it wasn’t that big of a deal, but I can say that I won’t be doing a short beach vacation by myself and the boys. First, it’s a little difficult trying to watch two that can swim and want to go EVERYWHERE and two […]

Today I had the pleasure of attending my beautiful Goddaughter’s dance recital. Can I just give my parents a huge THANK YOU for sitting through years and years of both piano and ballet recitals. (I wasn’t great at either, so I’m not sure it was worth sitting through these recitals every year.) I am one […]

A friend invited my family over for the weekend, and Lance is already stressed about it. He is worried about the kids in someone else’s house. Keep in mind, my kids are really neat. Goose is the one who walked into somebody’s house and said he couldn’t play because it was too messy. All of […]

Last week I mentioned how I’m not a fan of Hallmark Holidays. Nothing has changed, but since today is Mother’s Day, I am forced to reflect on Moms. I have a great mom, have friends who are wonderful mothers and love being a mom myself, so reflecting on motherhood isn’t such a bad thing. I […]

I made it home from my weekend away from the family. It’s the first time I have ever left home without someone tagging along. A friend from law school was in Austin for a conference so I drove up to see her. She laughed all weekend because of how many calls I made and received. […]
