if you were wondering what to get me for my birthday... oh tim, i love you, too. two words: tim riggins. but since he might be hard to ship, i'll settle for this handmade card (thanks R!) of a shirtless timmy declaring his love for me. texas and TIM forever.
america’s finest
i've been blessed with the opportunity to appease my severe case of wanderlust with travels both domestic and abroad. spain, ireland, savannah and chicago. nashville has all but become a temporary residence, san francisco, too. but while i may dream about replanting permanently to one of these locations, i can't help but think that with ...
tuesdays with jaime
sometimes i forget that i spent my college years committing things like the subjunctive case of the verb "aprender" and the spanish word for "pillow" to my memory banks. in fact, near the end of my time at pepperdine, i was writing more essays and papers in spanish than i was in my first language (which is ...
making a house a home
i've used this photo from my "home is where the heart is" pinterest board as inspiration for bedroom decor for months now. when things get less hectic, i'll recreate it. when i have a free weekend, the motivation, a hammer, and nails, and a cute handyman to go with them, then, i'll make this wall my own. well this ...

on motherhood
i wrote this on mother's day but forgot to post it. so ten days later, here are some reflections i had on that sunday afternoon. it's mother's day. a day to honor the one who brought us life. the lady who rocked us quietly in the wee hours of the morning, who kissed our boo boos ...
bringing home the bacon
no literally. after an approximate 15 year hiatus, i'm eating bacon, again. and i'm pretty excited about it. and since i didn't want the other meats to feel left out (though some may argue that bacon is all the carnivorous treat one needs in life), i'm also re-incorporating chicken, turkey and maybe just maybe the occasional hamburgler back ...
juicey couture
you know that saying that "man cannot live on bread alone?" well, i'm here to tell you that "(wo)man cannot live on juice alone." well actually that's a lie. because i did in fact live on juice alone. for three long days. and what do you know? i survived (unless i didn't and in that case, this is my ...
