I’ve been busy cranking out Christmas content over the past couple of weeks. I’ve partnered with 11 other awesome bloggers to help bring you “12 Days of Christmas” which was a really fun collaboration paired with a great big giveaway. Here are all of the prizes that were up for grabs: All of this stuff…
I’m from San Antonio and Mexican food is a Christmas Eve tradition. These green chicken enchiladas are a hit every time I’ve made them. We had tamales at Christmas as far back as I can remember. Our neighbor, Mrs. Vega, used to make them for us. If you haven’t had a tamale, they’re cornmeal steamed…
If you haven’t heard of LuLaRoe, you’ve either been hanging out under a rock or taking a social media hiatus because the internets are extolling the many virtues of “butter leggings” and LuLaRoe stuff in general. LuLaRoe is a clothing line sold via multi-level marketing – MLM. Sort of the same concept as Pampered Chef,…
My kids have a ton of toys. I keep telling myself I’m going to do a toy purge before Christmas – you know, out with the old, broken and seldom played with and in with the plethora of new stuff that Santa and the assorted relatives will bring. I bring you gift ideas for kids…

Everything has a celebratory month or day, right? Breast cancer awareness. Infant loss. There are the more whimsical designations. Who doesn’t like National donut day or National Naked Gardening day? Well…if you don’t love National Naked Gardening day, I’ll give you a pass. Of the list of things I want to do while naked…well, it’s a small list and gardening…
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…
Once upon a time I started a blog. For those of you who have been reading my writing for awhile, you know I started off blogging exclusively about adoption. Blogging was a way to connect to other families who were in the process of adopting from China and it gave me a way to document…
It’s time for my latest Stitch Fix review! If this looks like something you’d like to try, please use my code when you order. I’ll get some pennies knocked off my next fix and you will get my undying love. Who doesn’t want my undying love? If you’re interested in seeing why a non-fashionista posts…
