Houston Axe Throwing
You guys, I am not one to pay much attention to ads. Especially not Facebook ads. But one day I’m just scrolling through my feed, minding everyone else’s business, when I came across an ad for Houston Axe Throwing. Read that again. Axe throwing. In Houston. If it wasn’t obvious after Goat Yoga, I am clearly down for (almost) anything. As much as axe throwing sounded like it was absolutely not my thing, I had to get in on this. First of all, we owe a huge thanks…

Goat Yoga Texas!
Goat Yoga. Yep. It’s a thing. It’s a real thing. I read about it a long time ago in one of those crazy news stories that suck you in when you’re supposed to be doing something important. Basically, these west coast weirdos were doing yoga while some goats ran around. “People are so weird,” was my thought. Didn’t cross my mind again. Then a few weeks ago I happened to be watching another video that was completely unrelated, but mentioned Goat Yoga just to be funny. I decided…

Our First Flytographer Experience
If you know me at all you know I’m kind of obsessed with pictures. Yours, mine, people I don’t know, beautiful, blurry, all of them. I seriously don’t know what it is, but I just love to look at pictures. So when we happen to be doing something fun I kind of go crazy and take a million. While we were in Destin over the summer (read about it here), every day at sunset the beach would be covered with families and photographers. It got me thinking. Why…

Cue the Theme Music
A few weeks ago someone contacted me on Instagram saying that she stumbled across my profile, @mama_cant_sing, which led her to my little blog and she was instantly inspired to write a song. I mean, I know I’m pretty amazing but I’ve never been someone’s muse before! Ha! She asked if I was interested in seeing the video when it was done and obviously I was. The whole idea that someone decided to write a song about my inability to sing was hilarious! As it turns out, she…

Harper is Two Hands Old
Happy birthday baby girl! I probably say this every year, but I can’t believe you are already 6 years old. It didn’t quite hit me until the other day when you had to use 2 hands to show me how old you were turning. Two hands! And there’s no longer a spot in your baby book for your birthday celebrations. I guess this means you’re not really a baby anymore. I’m going to need a few more years to accept that. And just so you know, I will…

Camping Parties are S’more Fun!
Every single year as I am prepping for Harper’s birthday party I swear up and down that the next year we are doing it somewhere else. Somewhere that requires me to do nothing but hand over my credit card. Having her parties at home I always go overboard. I always spend too much money. I always stress about decorations and food being ready in time. I always invite more people than could possibly fit inside my home. And I always, I mean always drive my husband crazy. But…

An Interview with Grandma and Grandpa
A few years ago I stumbled across an article (knowing me, probably from Pinterest) about interviewing grandparents about their lives. Ever the family archivist, I was shocked I hadn’t ever thought of doing this before and knew I had to get busy. Harper was just a toddler at the time, but this was something I wanted to do for my kids, and heck, for the rest of the family too. My Grandpa was just starting to show signs of memory loss and he and Grandma had recently moved…

Halloween Costume Themes
If my family is known for anything it is for our Halloween costumes. And maybe that our house always reeks of stinky bulldog, or that we have a ton of pilots, or that the kids are… crazy… But we are definitely known for our family Halloween costume themes. I wouldn’t even say Halloween is anyone’s favorite holiday, but it has kinda become a thing with my family. Way back when our dogs were our only children, we started dressing them up for Halloween… okay we dressed them up…

Bayou City Art Festival
Last weekend our plans got canceled so I decided to check out Jill B. Jarvis.com to see what else may be going on around town. First of all, if you have kids and live anywhere near Houston you need to be following her page. Jill does an amazing job of listing all the major (and minor) events going on every single week in Houston. I loved her site before when it was Big Kid Small City, but when she complimented me on the pictures on this little blog,…
