Bye, Bye, Miss American Summer

The last glimpses of summer..... a family pool party, a trip to St. Louis, a play date with my nephews Summer is ending here. School begins in less than 72 hours and I am anxious about this year, it's my last year. I don't know if this anxiety is normal or not, but I am freaking out about it. I keep saying 9 months until I graduate, if I graduate, if i make it. It's going to be a tough year,...

Motto of 29

As I had mentioned before, my 29th year is all about savoring moments together with family, friends, and all others in whom I come in contact with. I don't want to miss being in the moment. I want to be all in no matter what it is I am doing this year. Its like a year long celebration of a decade of my life. You may think I am crazy but it means a lot to me. I love life and sometimes I forget to live...

throwback Henry and Nicole's sprinkle

First of all I absolutely love hosting a party. I love the decor and the planning. I love crafting with my people.

Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Summer reminds me of my country roots. I grew up listening to country music in the back of my mom and dad's car standing on the middle hump in the backseat singing Patty Loveless" chains, chains, shackles and chains" Kasey Musgraves has some catchy music, I don't agree with some topics she sings about, but she's got great hair and sing along music and she's country. If you don't already know my...
