Hi boo- Last night, we rode bikes to the nearest snow cone stand. We just found this place and it’s currently your all-time favorite. You can’t get enough. I’m pretty sure you could eat an entire extra large snow cone if we would let you, but your teeth would be vibrating until Wednesday from the … Continue reading

Things Currently Depending on Me for Survival
1. This little bag of bones. I routinely throw the ball for her and initiate games of “Haunted House”, where I turn all the lights off and then jump out at her (she loves it, I promise). I even continued to love her when she decided to add a little something extra to my I-have-the-house-to-myself … Continue reading
Dear Daughter: Sonic Love
Hey sweet girl- Did you know it’s been almost a year since we’ve started this adoption process? A YEAR! That is so long and we have so far to go, but this has been the most important, emotional year of my life- a year filled with inexplicable joy and heartaches. If we’re to believe the … Continue reading
Sonic Fundraiser
Did you know that Sonic had fundraisers? I guess in the dark recesses of my mind, I’d tucked that fact away somewhere but when a church friend (SHOUT OUT, RITA!) told me she wanted to organize one for us, I was surprised. Tomorrow, we’ll be at a Sonic in Carrollton from 9-6, stuffing food bags … Continue reading
Building a Raised Bed Garden in 147 Easy Steps

Red Lentil and Cauliflower Curry
You guys, if you knew me before I became a vegetarian last year, you probably would have never believed that I would eat something that contained both red lentils and cauliflower. In fact, I probably would have thrown up ON YOUR FACE if you had even suggested it. But I eat this stuff like it’s … Continue reading
Welderbeth’s Bi-Weekly Distractions
Okay. Maybe not bi-weekly but, you get the drift. Was there some sort of fancy football game yesterday? Is it wrong that I know the Ravens won but I don’t know the name of the other team? Anyway, I’m a bad Aggie, bad West-Texan, and probably bad American because I’m totally not in to football. … Continue reading
Gratitude Project: Day 25
Because I am a a psycho who likes to stress herself out, we hosted a conspiracy dinner a mere week after we moved into our new house. Before the move, I was clipping letters out of magazines to glue onto the invitations whilst I sat among boxes begging to be packed. (Also, the invitations stated … Continue reading
Nashvegas
We just returned from a trip to Nashville where we visited my sister Leah, AKA the Leggy, Bronze Goddess, and her husband Tyler, the Abercrombie model. I’ve always been the more Quasimodo-esque sibling and this time was no different. In case you think I’m joking, please compare these two pictures from this weekend: One looks … Continue reading
Jar Jar Drinks
A friend and I have been reading through 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker. It’s about pulling out of the system; disengaging from this consumeristic, stressed-out, distracted culture. It’s an excellent read and it will make you want to pull your hair out. Anyway, we got to the chapter on waste and … Continue reading
