Another summer, another sooooong! I know I don’t have to tell you about our summer tradition of visiting family in Little Rock, AR. Old news, yes. And I know I don’t have to tell you that each year we pick a song from the ’80s or ’90s, slow it down and vibe it out. You […]

The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of My Sister’s Voice
Changing it up today! Because it’s Christmas and I’m feeling naughty. Remember back in August when we drove to Arkansas to see new houses and to celebrate my birthday and to eat stinky cheeses and drink rosé on blankets outside and hug necks of my friends and fam? This photo is from that trip! JK. […]
Stonyfield’s Snack Packs! And Letters to Santa. Not Cleo.
THE TIME HAD COME. To carefully craft our Christmas wish lists in honest hearts and flawless penmanship for the jolly man up north. And by that I mean, “MOM HOW DO YOU SPELL ANNA AND ELSA?” Le sigh. But we did it! Successfully wrote out our (their) Christmas lists for Santa, made it all the […]
Mr. Davis Weekender Bag GIVEAWAY!
(This giveaway is now closed! Thanks for playing! bye, now.) First giveaway of the seasooooooon! (insert all the holiday emojis here) And MEN, this one’s for you. Well, I guess – LADIES, this one’s for your man. Because I’m pretty sure I have one male reader. And it’s my dad. So DAD, this one’s for […]
Fly Me to the Moo. (Our Trip to Shatto Farm!)
Or a more accurate title – “My Kids Are Freaks and Hate Cows.” IT WAS ALL GOING TO BE SO PERFECT, YOU KNOW. Cows, kids, milk, ice cream. Right? Epic farm scenery, flawless weather with friends, a sniff of cheese and a stroll through the facility. RIGHT? But then I forgot how massive cows actually […]
Hey-La-Day-La, The Milkman’s Back!
LIKE REALLY. A MILKMAN. A MILK. MAN. But let me back up a bit. A few Saturdays ago, we were headed out for a routine trip to our local nursery for a (YES, ANOTHER) round of garden plants. As we pulled away from the gardening center with our haul, I noticed this small, but bright […]
Our Trip to the Zoo! (With Wonderful Halos Mandarins)
(This post is definitely in partnership with Wonderful Halos, but all ramblings and citrus inhaling are my own. We coo?) Halos! Raise your hand if you bring one or 40 of these bags home from the grocery store every week? (I’m raising both hands. And legs.) I remember growing up what a PAIN peeling an […]
16 Favoritest Things in 2016
Happy 2017! I think I already said that the other day, but I’ll say it again. Happy 2017! That probably makes three times now. Whatever. “People stopped saying “whatever” five years ago.” “Whatever. I’m outie 5000.” <–name that show. Before we get too nestled into the new year, I wanted to go back and give you my […]
I Botched a Recipe, But I Have a Song!
Weeeeeell. What was supposed to be creamy and luscious, turned out oily and separated. What was supposed to take one hour in the oven, took 2 hours and 45 minutes. What was supposed to be seductively tangy and delicately acidic, turned out borderline bitter and pucker face inducing, even producing several under-the-breath grumbles at the […]
Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies with a Cream Cheese Glaze
*This post is definitely sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company. But all honesty and ramblings are totally my own. We coo?* Are we over pumpkin yet? I’m going to pretend the answer is never. Because you knooooow you’ve had that lone ranger can of pumpkin puree in your pantry since Watergate. And you knoooooow you’ve […]
