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

(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.

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

Ins and Outs- 2024

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

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

Chicken and Dumplins

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

Red Bank Recap- 12.22.23

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!

Red Bank Recap {November}

It feels like with each passing year that it gets busier and busier as the year winds down. Holidays, parties, activities, dress up days, etc., and November is basically December Jr when it comes to remembering and doing all the things! But, I will say, I really love the holiday time of year, so even…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap {November}
