While slightly unconventional, Crawfish is a ranch dog. He’s not your typical cattle herding, swift, agile, perceptive, traditional ranch dog, but that kid loves him some time at the ranch. He gets winded pretty easily, and needs to ride in the back of the Gator or the truck. Mostly he barks at the cows and…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 2}
We have never been super serious resolution people. We typically have some goals we’d like to accomplish, and it’s typically the usual suspects- eat healthier, exercise more, watch less TV, etc. I’ve noticed this year that it is trending to not share resolutions, but rather “ins” and “outs”. As in fill-in-the-blank is “in”, and fill-in-the-blank…… Continue reading Ins and Outs- 2024
I can’t believe it’s the first week of 2024! For the last several years, it seems like January lasts for 27 months, and then the rest of the spring moves like a bullet train from Liv’s birthday in February to our anniversary in March, to Henry’s birthday in April, then the end of the school…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 1.5.24
ONE On Christmas Eve’s Eve we decided to watch a movie, and I can’t even remember the last movie we watched before that. After scrolling through all the options on all the platforms, we decided on Killers of the Flower Moon on Amazon Prime. We were interested in seeing this back when it was in…… Continue reading Three Thoughts on Thursday
We live in the south, Texas to be exact. You cannot live in the South and not like/ eat okra. It’s just a thing. Some of my favorite memories growing up were going to my grandparents’ house for lunch after church and my grandma making fried okra and fried squash as a side. I love…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Roasted Okra
As I’ve mentioned before, we were devastated to lose our sweet Boudreaux back in May. He was truly the absolute best dog there was, and we still miss him every day. We know we would never be able to replace him, but we also know that we love bullmastiffs, and missed having one (Amos doesn’t…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 1}
As 2023 comes to a close, and we start off into 2024, I wanted to recap our year of memories, lessons, and blessings. Henry Henry’s vocabulary has grown like out of control weeds this year and it has been a source of humor for us all. We are constantly laughing at something he’s said- for…… Continue reading 2023 Memories
If this were an episode of “Friends”, it would be called The One with All the Christmases because all we’ve done this week is Christmas it seems! And hang out at the ranch, of course 😉 Steven had last Friday off, so we took Crawfish out to play at the new ranch. We had time…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 12.29.23
For as long as I’ve known my husband, chicken and dumplins have been at the top of his list of favorite foods. When we had been dating for about a year, I went with him to visit his hometown and his mom gave me a dumplin lesson. It was a fun little bonding experience, and…… Continue reading Chicken and Dumplins
We are in the home stretch before Christmas! I feel like I thought I had a ton of time, and then looked up some time last week and realized I was less than two weeks out. Then the rush ensued! I’m almost done shopping (just a few last minute things), and Santa will have some…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 12.22.23
