I usually tell stories with words but you know what they say…a picture is worth a crap-ton of words…or something like that. So here is our week in pictures. Thank you for following along!
Here’s my week in pictures, in totally random order, just because.
What do you do when it’s a raining on a Sunday morning and you’re out of milk and eggs and bread? Load up your family in the Mazda Grand Touring FWD and go out for breakfast, of course!
Saturday night was date night. We went to the grand opening of the 1908 Wine Bar and Ale House. There was music. There was wine (duh.) There was cheese. Amazing place I’m excited to have as a neighbor in lovely Cibolo.
Kyle turned 7 (eek – can you believe????) on March 10th. He is here with his martial arts instructor, Mr. Meyers, cutting the birthday cake with a sword. Martial arts have been an amazing thing for our boys. Besides…how cool is it to cut your cake with a sword???

“Come to me my sweetie.” Said my son to his bacon. In case you were wondering what parenting done right looks like.We LOVED driving the Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring FWD this week. Plenty of room in the back for groceries and the assorted stuff families carry around. It’s an AWESOME family car – very comfy and roomy in the back. Plenty of room for two booster seats. My boys LOVED the sunroof!I think the highlight of our week was getting Zack’s robot hand. It’s opened up a lot of doors for him. He can eat and apple and scratch his nose. Who knew that was such a big deal????Pure joy…and my husband’s hands. I’ve always loved his hands.
Grocery shopping is…well, it’s something that has to be done. The Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring FWD has a ton of room in the bag for all the groceries.My Kyle turned SEVEN this week. I can hardly believe it.
I had a read-through with this incredibly talented bunch at Commonwealth Coffee. Listen to Your Mother has brought so many amazing people into my life!
My favorite person, ever. Enjoying a little downtime.
Zack and his 3D printed “robot hand.” Incredibly cool, right?
Love that we had the Mazda CX-9 FWD Grand Touring to use for the week. It really is the perfect family car!
I’m ready to go get my robot hand, mom!
MIGAS. If you don’t know what they are – figure it out. And then get some. ASAP.
This went viral this week. Who knew so many people loved Reese’s eggs as much as I do? If you would like to share this please click the image and it will take you (magically) to Facebook and you can share, share, share with all your friends.
This is La Cabana, the BEST Mexican place in Cibolo, Texas. They have amazing lunches and dinners but we’ve recently discovered they’re a great place to go for breakstast…see also we forgot to buy eggs and milk and bread. They have Migas – which is a win for THIS GIRL – and the absolute fluffiest pancakes. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.Oh, hiiii. I have an empty backseat. I’m off to my first rehearsal of Listen to Your Mother: San Antonio. Early bird tickets are $12 until March 15th. Come see us!!!Zack and Justin Cantu, the 10th grade student who made Z’s “robot hand.” I’m so in awe.When your lipstick matches your car… We LOVED driving the Mazda CX-9 FWD Grand Touring. We still would have loved it even if it weren’t this lovely shade of red…but OMG – RED.

Avengers: Infinity War is coming and I’m kind of geeking out about that. I’m a little bit of a Johnny Come Lately to Marvel fandom. Better late than never, right? I didn’t grow up reading Marvel comics so when the movies started coming out, I wasn’t first in line to see them. In fact, I…
I take Taco Tuesday pretty seriously. Because tacos. Living in San Antonio, I have lots of opportunities to eat great tacos and great all other kinds of Mexican and Tex-Mex foods so I find a lot of inspiration and creativity around these parts to bring delicious tacos back to my own kitchen. But sometimes, I…
Someone once said “I believe in being honest with my kids, 101 percent.” That someone wasn’t me. I lie to my kids all the time. I’m not just talking about the trifecta of deception: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. I don’t creatively bend the truth. I straight up lie like Pinnochio. Am…
“Be careful how you phrase that question about egg rolls,” a comment from someone near and dear might go. “Jill’s sensitive about Chinese stuff.” adoption My two boys are adopted from China. My nearest and dearest have commented on my “adoption sensitivity” a time or 700 over the past few years. But I don’t think…
How many times have you heard someone say admiringly “girlfriend is totally rocking that angry, bitter thing?” How ‘bout never? Lately, I’ve recognized bitterness in myself. It feels funny, like shoes that don’t fit but that I’m wearing anyway. I try to shrug off bitter. Sometimes I can, but it’s temporary. Bitterness sneaks back. Sometimes I…
Every headache is a potential brain tumor and each new freckle might be malignant melanoma—this is how my brain works. I don’t run to the doctor over every ache and bump but I’m quick to climb the crazy tree with my good friend “what-if.” I’ll scale that tree with amazing speed, although it’s not too…
This is my first visit and not my last. Love your blog. You had me at “wearing yesterdays mascara”
Awesome idea of cutting the cake with a sword!
I definitely must use this method next time! 🙂
Good job!
Cheers
