I have to say, it's pretty difficult to have a post-holiday let down period this year. January and February's planned events have me too excited to sleep. Y'all know I love a good list, so here g...

Normally around this time I am sick of winter. This year, I feel a little different. I'm learning to embrace the good things about this time of year. I really love coming home every night and lig...

I'm sure you've noticed the design and name change. I just needed a clean slate - a blank canvas. I named the new blog Joy + Marie after my grandmothers (these are their middle names). I LOVE my ...

I've decided to revive the 'ole blog. This time I will not put pressure on myself to post x amount of times per week. I will just journal as I see fit. A lot of what I write will be about Carter ...

Happy New Year! Christmas was crazy - as usual. Most every year, we drive about 630 miles over a 3-day period, trekking all over Texas to see different parts of my family. IT IS EXHAUSTING but ...

We are about to run out to dinner, but I had to get this quick post in. My cousin Ryan and his gorgeous wife Teryn are being featured in a new reality TV show called "Texas Multi Mamas" on the WE...

Finally - the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back! I've blogged about my love for the VSFS before. No shame in my game - I LOVE the pretty outfits, the glitter, and the big hair. And - have...

I have re-written this post 5 times. If that doesn't say "all over the place" I'm not sure what does. I don't even know where to begin, so I'll just say this - I resigned from my job today. ...

I'm sticking to my plan...look at me go! Tuesday's "Five Good Things" were: 1. A short drive into work 2. It was the 15th - also known as payday! 3. Leftovers for dinner were fantastic. Why ...

When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I can be kind of negative. I'm not happy to admit that I've been called "whiny" and "Debbie Downer" more than once. I've found that when I'm in this kind of funk, th...

Kind of a paradox, isn't it? I just wanted to pop in and list some of the things that have been making my week this week. Our wine club shipment came in from Flat Creek, the winery where we g...

I recently blogged about my workout routine - which was very intense at the time and had been for several months. My nutrition was pretty strict paleo as well, which while I still follow, is fair...

I am being a little lazy about decorating for Fall/Halloween, mostly because we BLOW IT OUT at Christmas every year and also because it is 90+ degrees here. However, this year I took the kids to ...

Whoa! It's been over a month since I last blogged...better get back to it so this little blog of mine doesn't die. Life has been B-U-S-Y lately, and I have taken a little time this week to stop a...

I think I left off as we were cutting the cake. I thought about not sharing these, but they are just too funny for me not to relive the moments on the blog. This is my face as the best man, Rya...

So, I did it! Just when you think you're getting good at something you realize that there are A LOT of people better than you! I came in 11th of 12 people in my division. hahaha! But - it was a f...

As I type this I can't believe the words are escaping my fingers. Clearly I've gone over the edge. I let a few people talk me into thinking about it. Then - it was posted in our gym newsletter th...

I decided to post the reception in two parts (a) because I lose interest in a post after the first 10 pictures and (b) I'm just not ready to say goodbye to wedding blogging! Ha! First Danc...

This is an extremely random post, but I have to give shout outs to some products that are making my life better these days. I have found a ton of new and interesting products/ideas via blogs, so ...

We had a very simple and relaxed wedding. I didn't want anyone to drive, which is why we hired shuttles to take our friends and family to the middle of nowhere and back. I wanted everyone to have...

We took 1,000,000 pictures post ceremony, so there is no way to share all of them. I've pulled my favorites to share on the ole blog. This was such a happy set of moments for us. {Ryan's Preciou...

It's that time of year again! My birthday is in less than a month. I have gotten to the point where I almost prefer to let my birthday come and go, and avoid any huge celebration. I know, I'm old...

I realized recently that I require a lot of stuff to be comfortable. OK - maybe I've known this a while. Anyway, I was in the car the other day digging in my handbag, as I do, and I realized th...
