Pretend Fall

We had dinner on the water with friends this weekend. A “Houston Cold Front” blew in which means the temp didn’t drop, but there was a slight breeze. Our group sat out on the enclosed porch right where the boats dock. The rain fell hard just briefly and then it was quiet and calm. SeveralContinue reading “Pretend Fall”

September Sunflowers

I’m warning you… there’s a lot of sunflower photos here… I enjoy mindlessly scrolling through beautiful flowers. I find beauty in every fold, and bend.

Lambert and I jumped out of bed and ran to get our kids into our safe place (a/k/a the hallway with no windows). A crazy windy storm was happening and we have hugeContinue reading “Baking”

A Drive In The Country

All pinned up. If I didn’t admit that I’ve felt a little confined, I’d be lying. I’m a creative and need to be creating. My kids are sick of me. Literally, they are sick of me. I don’t like them to be on their screens all day every day. I’ve had them working in theContinue reading “A Drive In The Country”
