Red Bank Recipes- Sam’s Club Favorites

I love to cook, but obviously there are times it doesn’t happen, or we need something that will be ready quickly. One of our favorite place for ready made foods (and loads of other things!) is Sam’s Club! We’ve never lived near a Costco, so I have no idea how they compare, honestly. I grew…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Sam’s Club Favorites

Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 4}

Today is just a little Tuesday funny about Crawfish. When he was a puppy, about six months old, we took him to the vet for his next set of vaccinations. We go to a local vet that we’ve become friends with that we really like. He and I were talking, most likely about our daughter…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 4}

Small Changes that Have Made a Big Difference

I was recently listening to The Lazy Genius Podcast, which is a great resource for making life easier. She emphasizes being a “genius about the things that matter, and lazy about the things that don’t”, which is a nice departure from feeling like you need to be crushing it in all the things. Her latest…… Continue reading Small Changes that Have Made a Big Difference

Red Bank Recap- 1.19.24

Happy Friday! We’ve had a shorter than usual week around here, but I’m still glad it’s time for the weekend! We kicked off last weekend with the start of basketball season for OIivia. We got to play our game at our new intermediate school and it was so nice! Plus, I enjoyed only having to…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 1.19.24

Three Thoughts on Thursday

Happy Thursday, friends! We’re almost to the end of another week! We had a short week with a school holiday for MLK Jr. Day this week, so it’s felt like this week has flown by. ONE Typically (and usually hopefully 🤞🏻) once a year, Texas has one good snow/ice storm roll through. We had somewhat…… Continue reading Three Thoughts on Thursday

Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 3}

We have loved bullmastiffs for as long as we’ve had one. But what you don’t necessarily realize before you have one, is that they are not exactly mobile friendly. They did not go to Herman Boone’s football camp, and they are not mobile, agile, hostile (the not hostile part is ideal, the mobile, agile part,…… Continue reading Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 3}

Basketball… We’re Playing Basketball

(If you didn’t sing that title, you are probably not a millenial 😉). This Saturday kicked off basketball season! Our school district runs a basketball league from mid January- mid February for kindergarten through sixth grade. Kindergarten is co-ed, and is for learning the fundamentals. They play half court four-on-four with the goal as low…… Continue reading Basketball… We’re Playing Basketball

Red Bank Recap- 1.12.23

Happy Friday, friends! Here in west Texas we are staring down the barrel of a deteriorating weather weekend, with crazy cold temps on Sunday night into Monday. The last I looked there wasn’t a possibility of snow from the moisture standpoint, but those kind of temps. I’m so thankful we already have Monday off school…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 1.12.23

3 Thoughts on Thursday

Happy Thursday, friends! Here’s your three random thoughts for today! ONE We bought the kids several board and card games for Christmas to take to the new ranch cabin. Some early favorites have been Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, and Mexican Train/ Chickenfoot. I’ve also picked up these card game sets, Connect 4, Taco Cat Goat…… Continue reading 3 Thoughts on Thursday

Tuesdays with Crawfish {Part 2}

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}
