It took me 5 months to make these for my nephews. In reality, it took about 6 hours to do both of them, but life got in the way of getting them done. I don’t care, though, because they are SOOOOOOO cute! I could write the how-to, but the source where I found these does […]

Goodbye Bridget
This is the worst post I’ve had to write in some time. Just the worst. We had to say goodbye to our Bridget-Boo 24 days ago. She’d been sick for nearly two years and got progressively worse from month to month. Vomiting and diarrhea – but a strong appetite and lots of personality. The vet […]
November 2019 Wrap Up
How can November have come and gone so quickly??? Another election, another ballot cast. The DRC Half with Dallas Galloway is THE BEST way to kick off the end of Daylight Savings. Oliver made addressing Christmas cards a challenging experience. I finally had a chance to stop by and enjoy Plano’s Flags of Honor during […]
October 2019 Wrap Up
October was a crazy-busy month. I traveled three of the four weeks of the month, and somehow tried to fit life and work in the margins. Kicked off the month with a quick upgrade to the half bath cabinets. Much more modern than the bronze leaf pulls. I headed to Knoxville for The Uprising – […]
Hayley House Remodel 2019
It only took us 10 years, but we finally replaced our floors! The boys weren’t sure what to think – particularly when we moved all of the furniture into the “wrong rooms.” Goodbye horrible carpet. Goodbye broken ugly tile. Really. We’re not sad to see you go. It’s surprising how big the house looked without […]
September 2019 Wrap Up
September was here and gone in a flash – mostly because we spent most of it living in chaos. From living out of a suitcase to living with all of our furniture crammed into just a few rooms, it was hard to feel like things were normal. But now … ahhhhhhhh. We started the month […]
August 2019 Wrap Up
I thought I had a busy August, but looking at my photos I apparently only did a small amount of work and otherwise hung out with my cats. #LivingRight We did run into the Riggles at Union Bear. Because of course. And I paced a new batch of Dallas Gallowayers to their longest miles ever. […]
Lovely Labor Day Weekend
This weekend was so so so needed. I got to do pretty much everything I wanted: Deep cleaning the house (let’s not discuss the state of the dishwasher or the washing machine) Laundry Cleaning out closets and stopping by Goodwill Cleaning out the medicine cabinet (things that expired in 2007! … we never get sick) […]
How to Share Your Family Stories | Reunion Ideas
Slideshows and story time. These are the stuff memories are made of – at least in my family. Except slideshows are often accompanied by yawns and people trying to sneak out. And we’re moving into the time of our collective lives when we don’t have as many chances for the family story creators to tell […]
Fun Times with Family | Osborne Reunion 2019
We don’t get the whole family together – beyond the Usual Gang that is. But every 5 to 10 years we gather all of the Osborne descendants for a great time of games, food, shenanigans and stories. (The basic DNA of our family!) This year, the family rented lake houses on Beaver Lake in Garfield, […]
