It’s that time of year (already!) for the return of those pesky mosquitoes. I’m a born and raised Texas gal and after 30+ years I still can’t stand the little pests.

My family has created a new tradition when it comes to Memorial Day…camping. I never really grew up camping very much, or at all, so I jumped at the opportunity when my parents found a place 20 minutes away from them.

My brain is going to explode with all this info… So for now, I’d like … Continue reading
First, let me say thanks for letting me vent last week. I got some nice feedback from my last post and am glad to know I’m not alone. Second, let’s talk about stalking Young House Love (YHL)!

Man, I love Austin and the surrounding Hill Country! It’s my favorite city in this awesome state, besides The Sparkling City by the Sea, Corpus Christi (my hometown).
