Super proud of my husband this morning who replaced the igniter on our water heater. Thank you internet. I’m also grateful for my time at Building Services at the City of Austin so I could direct him to a local Granger for the part. Austin has two locations if you need something local like this.…

Early birthday present for me from Comandre Panaderia! So delicious and they use Barton Springs Mill flour, our favorite! This is our second visit and hubby grabbed everything we hadn’t tried the first time. Our 7 year old’s favorite is the red berry concha. I can’t pick a favorite, it’s all great!

Journaling outside. If we don’t slow down to enjoy nature, creation, then what are we working to help and save? It’s been so long since I was this calm and quiet. Many thanks to @emmalrobles for the inspiration. How gorgeous is this fluffy ground cover that took over the yard? It grouped around the stepping…
This sweater is 15 years old, at least. It’s from Kohl’s. When you shop, thrift, and/or borrow, buy/find good quality pieces and take care of them. My sweater is washed on the gentle cycle, air dried and I use my fabric shaver on it to remove pills. Pills mostly occur in the armpits. I fold…
I’m an advocate for things. Surprise right?! I strive to be an ally, support and bring awareness to issues that we might not be aware of especially if someone or something in my sphere has been affected in that area. I’m digging deeper here going forward. This is why I started the outfit of the…
