Meow Wolf

Back in 2018 we were driving back from Colorado and decided to make a pit stop in Santa Fe and we landed at "Meow Wolf" and were completely blown away.  It's an immersive art exhibit that you walk through - different rooms, worlds, etc. and I literally think you could be in there for a month and still not really SEE everything. 


We heard that they opened one in Dallas (Grapevine to be exact) and so Mason, Griffin and I headed there during Spring Break to check it out.  Luke opted out as it's not really "his thing" ;) hahaha

This is the entrance which was SO COOL...

Day In The Life - Spring Break Edition

I woke up last Tuesday and decided to chronicle a "day in the life: Spring Break Edition" ;). I was up around 7:30 which is way earlier than I typically like BUT I woke up as Dave was getting ready to go to work and decided just to roll with it and be productive ;) 

I showered, used my new FAVORITE moisturizer...

Friday Favorites

    Erika and I are so excited that lots of y'all are linking up with us every week.  Make sure that you're grabbing our graphic, linking back to us and sharing your own Friday Favorites post ;)

Y'all.  Spring Break is my FAVORITE.  I love having no plans, the shower pace and the time together.

My crew of FAVORITES went to see Kung Fu Panda 4 and had nothing but rave reviews ;)

Big Bend 2024

Last week I headed out to Big Bend with twenty students and a handful of teachers/chaperones to Big Bend National Park for a STEM camping trip.  

This was our third year we've taken kids on this trip and was the best year yet.  The weather was AWESOME which makes all the difference and I feel like every year we just get smarter and more efficient about the way we do things.

St. Patrick's Day Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today I'm sharing a super quick and easy cupcake that was a big hit at my house.  They really don't taste like pistachio and the subtle green color is just enough to make them festive.

Amazon Lately

 I have been LOVING this Vaseline body balm.  I use it on my lips, face, dry skin, etc.  It has zero scent and doesn't feel sticky.  I LOVE IT!

Weekend Top 8

 

Well, we're all back in town and under one roof and on Spring Break so my heart is SO HAPPY right now!  

- BIG DOG BUSINESS -

Friday started off with G's "Big Dog Business" day which was super exciting.  The entire 5th grade was split into groups and they created businesses and on various Fridays they got to set up shop and sell their products.

Happy Friday, friends! PHEW! WHAT A WEEK!!! I've been camping in Big Bend with 8th grade STEM students since Monday and I can confidently say that my own bed and a hot shower are my FAVORITES ;) 

Last week Griffin competed in the ACSI speech competition and watching her work so hard toward a goal and GET IT DONE was the best!  She competed in "patriotic oration" by memorizing and reciting "Ain't I a Woman" by Sojourner Truth and earned a superior rating as well as third place.

Joyce's Flank Steak

 I shared this recipe two years ago, but as the weather warms up and I'm dreaming of crisp salads with delicious steak I thought I'd reshare this recipe.  It's definitely going on our meal plan for next week and my mouth is already watering just thinking about it. 


... and prepped everything the same day.

What I Wore Wednesday

I'm THE WORST when it comes to photographing my outfits.  THE WORST!  I scoured my camera roll and found a few things I thought I'd share - with the intention of being better about this - PROMISE!

I grabbed this dress about a month ago an I LOVE IT!  It's a caftan-ish silhouette and the fabric is so crisp and pretty.  It comes in a solid white and olive but the stripe sold me.

Cute Stuff Volume II

Last month I shared some "cute stuff" that I had either bookmarked, screen shotted or bought and today I'm doing the same.  Just some things that have come across my path on the internet that I think are worth sharing because they're so dang cute!

These paper plates couldn't be cuter!  They'd be so cute for dessert on Easter but also a baby shower, girls night, etc.

St. Patrick's Day Touches

I found a few St. Paddy's decor "touches" on Etsy a few weeks ago as I was feeling super festive and I wasn't super pumped about NOT having twinkle lights on the mantel ;)
