So, today is the first day of Fall, but around these parts it’s still very much Summer. In fact this September has seemed like July. I thought I might get a sunburn walking Auggie on a potty break the other day at lunch while outside for less than 5 minutes. This day also feels like…

…a few thoughts, a little scattered…  So, I posted this on my Facebook last night and it sparked a lot of conversation, both comments and separate messages and texts…. Throughout my life I’ve been “skinny shamed” for being thin. Some complementary and some certainly not nice. Lately I’ve been asked about losing weight, again some…

I am not a fashion blogger. I’ve never wanted a blog that was full of links for me to get paid because I don’t wear “new” things all the time. Lots of what I wear is several seasons old and comes from Marshall’s/TJ Maxx and you can’t link those up anyway. Also, I don’t have…

…a few thoughts, a little scattered… This summer I was outside lots of evenings, and so many places had lights strung in the trees and across the patios.   I kept noticing them…  There’s something about summer nights I love… I don’t even realize what time it is because if it’s still daylight, I think…

Dear BCF, I can’t believe how fast 5 years have gone by! About this time in 2011 my heart was stirring in  anticipation of that first Sunday. Leaving a place I knew so well to an unfamiliar place where I knew absolutely no one. Except I knew Jesus, and if He was stirring my heart…

When I took Auggie for his vet check after adopting him, I had to give him a birthday since his was unknown.  #orphanpuppy. The vet estimated him in early July to be between 9 months and a year, so I split the difference and chose August 28th, also the day of remembrance for his namesake,…

…a few thoughts, a little scattered…  This morning as I was in a haste to get ready for church (read: dog woke me up at 8:28 and I typically leave for church at 8:45) I hadn’t picked out anything to wear. When I looked in my closet, this skirt came to mind, one I don’t…

Even though Texas has consecutive 100-degree summer days, I still default to jeans for some evenings out. Here are a few recent summer nights in denim… I looked at the tag in these jeans, they are Gap from Fall 08 and “limited edition” according to the tag, perhaps also when flare jeans were “in” style…
