  Real Houswife I debated on whether or not to post this on Instagram today (photo from yesterday).  I am so very glad I did.  Maybe some people didn’t like this disheveled face infiltrating their otherwise beautiful instagram feed, but I just felt the need to post something that was real and probably something many women … [Read more…]

  A Boy and His Dog Outside was the answer to all of Carson’s problems today.  And Ginger had a pretty great time, too!  Today was one of those days where I thought, “Why am I doing this?”  Betsy was hard.  From 7:30am til 12:30pm she slept a total of 45 minutes.  Most of the … [Read more…]

 Finding her feet She was grabbing at her feet a lot today and even pulled her socks off on a few occasions.  Betsy was pretty much a total joy.  I don’t think I have ever said that!!  She did give me trouble for one of her naps and got pretty cranky at the end of the … [Read more…]

New Friends Today we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science with Carrie and the girls, her sister Christy and her kids, and their mom Claudia.  Carson had a great time running around and was impressed with the big dinosaurs he saw.  I love this picture for a couple reasons.  Louisa and Carson are … [Read more…]
