I shared this on Instagram a few days ago, but I loved the moment so much I had to put it here too. A stranger nervously asked if he could take our photo with his new camera he was playing around with. And then in a moment of complete kindness he took one for us […]
I won’t forget
Dear San Antonio, You weren’t what I expected. I had ideas in my head and very few of them happened. But what did happen was even better than what I had hoped. I experienced community in a different light. I completely enjoyed living in our apartment and having daily chats with our neighbors and their pets. We spent most of […]
ten-forty-seven
It’s late and I’m sitting crossed-legged in our kitchen floor eating grapes. I needed to plug in Garrett’s printer and all the other outlets are blocked by stacks of boxes. It’s all rather cozy and half of me wishes I could turn these boxes into a fort. You know, a safe haven where an adventure happens and the only thing […]
just yes
This is life right now and it’s really good and I’m really thankful for it. Less than three weeks now till we smooch Texas farewell and hug NOLA hello! p.s. whatever did we do without Instagram to tease us with new spots to try out? Loved this counter at District Pies last week.
hello june dear
I like to hit up Costco for Naked Juice when they put it on sale because it’s nearing it’s sell by date. It’s a bit of a thrill this way and I feel slightly less guilty for divulging in such a luxury. I knew we would be hitting the road this week and those cute little meant […]
one more month
It’s a dirty hair in a bun-shovel in cold pasta from the fridge-get it done sort of day. It feels like a winner though because this has also included an hour and a half chat with my parents which was just the best. Among the phone calls and other activities one is responsible for when approaching […]
better together
We are on the countdown to finishing this year. I used to think of New Years as the starting point for a new season, but July 1 now feels even more significant. It feels as if we are leaning into the final turn. Next week will hopefully be the curve that finally lets us see the […]
creamer & scones
Goodness the past two weeks went by in a blink. I just made a cup of tea so I suppose there’s no time like the present to catch up. Undoubtedly, not a world concern but I am sipping on the very last of our Mango Passion fruit tea. Yet another reason to make a Sprout’s run. Garrett […]
meeting thirty
Next week is my birthday and I turn thirty-one. To be honest, it feels just right. Initially, I was a bit unsure of how I would get along with this new decade of life. My twenties were good but it took a couple of years to get into the full swing of them. I have to […]
plant love
It’s a gorgeous morning and per usual the patio doors have been open since before I even made the bed. The birds must be auditioning for Cinderella because they have been singing non stop the past few weeks. We have a few nests in the bushes outside our bedroom window because for the past week I have fallen […]
