It's the little things...

So BJ and I have kind of had a whirlwind of a month, if not the last few months. We returned from our Babymoon only to move into our new house the very day we landed! Coupling that with the return of wedding season (woohoo!), BJ's new job and planning for a baby... well, it has been busy.

Needless to say (hopefully), there are a lot of projects on our house that we have not had time to do yet! It seems like we moved in and tried to settle quickly (settle defined: made the house livable until we have time to get it the way that we want it). There are TONS of ideas we have... many that are slowly starting to take shape, many that will take time (due to money, baby and money). But this past weekend, we got off to a great start... where do you begin in a home? Well, easy answer for BJ and Karen... the toilets!!

When we moved in, our bathroom toilets were adorned with these beauties:
Just in case you cannot tell, this picture is of a PADDED toilet seat. (This is not an exact picture of OUR padded toilet seats, but it gives you a frame of reference.) Now, nothing against you folks who enjoy some extra cushion while doing your duties... but to BJ and I, this completely sicked us out! So behold... the new toilet seats...


That is right folks, they are the NO SLAM seats... gotta learn to love the small things! I am not kidding, it has literally brightened my week... is that SO SAD?

Cheerleading Tryouts

If you have ever been through any sort of team tryout, audition, or interview, you know the waiting period can be a little bit stressful.... and well, that gives you an idea of how the hunt for our reception location has been since our engagement. BJ and I wanted to find a location that we felt "suits" us... so, the search began a while ago, to say the least. Enjoy this process alongside of us: 1. Dallas Museum of Art--who wouldn't want to have their reception here? The Hamon Atrium is absolutely perfect for the bride and groom who like to work with bare bones--slate floors, concrete infrastructure, and a 5 story glass wall with colorful blown glass cascading down. Not only that, but it really taps in to BJ's "artistic" side. So, we get all worked up over the DMA to find out that well, weddings are taking back seat due to the arrival of King Tut. Yes, He and all his artefactual glory are coming to Dallas in October, and well, until about 2 weeks ago, wedding

The Sister of Honor...

Its time for our readers to get to know some of our bridal party... and there is no better place to start than with your maid of honor!   For those of you who don't know my younger sister Katie, growing up she was my sidekick, my stage-hand, my monkey that would bang the cymbals if I asked.... basically, if I was the center of attention, she was right there to introduce me, applaud me, or be my partner in crime.   So now as we have both "grown" up, and its time for me to make the biggest decision of my life, it means the world to me that there Katie will be.... right by my side, my-stage hand, making me look better and supporting me as I change my last name once and for all. Just so we are clear, there was, however, one time when I was furious that Katie shared my stage.... when I was about 6 years old I was determined I would be a childhood star.  So my parents, indulging me in this dream, let me audition for a kids movie called "The Donut Man".  Katie, 3 at th

Crowdsourced Group Gift Guide 2020

Okay, so admittedly I am not a blogger in the sense that I do not actually know what I am doing.... so friends, bear with me - humor me, maybe - as I attempt to simply put all of the amazing ideas that so many people shared with me when I asked about gifts for Tripp, my 9 year old son, this Christmas.  I'll start with this - there are the usual suspects that if they were recommended once, they were recommended a dozen times... and it would come as no surprise, I imagine, that they included all things Lego, Nerf and _______ boards.   But there we tons of other ideas that were honestly new, to me, and I would love to share them with you! I've put them in somewhat of a category... and linked them all! Let me know what you purchase or if you have other ideas to add to this awesome resource!  Hope this is a blessing to all us parents of boys, ages 8-13 , shopping this season!
