Look what TikTok has me doing now. OMG, if you do not currently have the TikTok app downloaded on your phone, don't do it! I swear, there is a remedy for every single situation and it is super easy to go down the rabbit hole of TikTok videos. There are solutions to dang near all of your daily issues. So even though it looks like I am about to do some deep cleaning and drink about 5 cups of coffee,

Today is National BBQ Day and I am sorry (not sorry) but I have to say hands down the best barbecue comes from right here in Texas. We all have our personal favorites but the people have spoken. I decided to go online to find out what the fine folks of Midland-Odessa say is their favorite barbecue right here in the 432.

I do not plan to name names, well maybe 1 at some point in this story but OMG some of the things my coworkers do drive me crazy! I just came back from the restroom and for the 3rd time this week saw something that is such a quick, easy fix, but no, someone, I have no clue who doesn't seem to think it is so simple.

Ok let me start by saying this was 1,000% NOT by choice. We were planning a family summer vacation years ago and genius me decided to try one of those hotel booking sites for the very first time. I was not familiar with any of them or how they worked, I was just winging it. NEVER again.

Look, I'm not usually one to toot my own horn but TOOT TOOT BABY! Can I say I feel partly responsible, and instrumental in making this happen? Back in March, I wrote an article about this super cool place I visited in Denver, CO with my family called Meow Wolf. I cannot think of enough adjectives to describe it. Eclectic, strange, weird, psychedelic, unlike anything I had ever been to before in wh

I am always late to the game. I barely created an avatar for myself last year, while others have had it for an eternity. I didn't attempt to use GIFs or share memes or things like that because I didn't know how it worked. I needed a tutorial and more than likely that tutorial came from 1 of my children. True story. So this morning I saw on my Facebook feed that everyone was changing their profile

So quite literally as my title states, we may not realize it but we are very fortunate to live in the second largest state in the US, for a number of reasons. Friendly people, great restaurants, vacation spots and so on and so forth. I came to love and appreciate my great state all over again after conversing with someone who recently moved to this country.

Let me start by saying in my defense, I got my pool in the middle of the pandemic. I was homeschooling my kiddos, they needed something to do for 'P.E.' and I needed them out of my hair for a couple of hours a day. Not to mention everyone had the exact same idea in 2020 so the fact that we actually found 1 on store shelves felt like a sign from the pool gods.

You guys, I was pleasantly surprised to learn over the weekend that chivalry is not dead! Quick shout out to Michael with La Ma convenience store in Odessa where I was hanging out over the weekend. As I went to introduce myself to him, he immediately removed the cowboy hat he was wearing and shook my hand as he told me his name. Can I say this kind of thing makes a lady melt? Manners. Respect. A t

Parents, there are not many days left in the school year. Wow! Where did the year go? It flew by. I know as parents, we are counting down the days to hear, 'I'm bored,' while our little ones are counting down to summer freedom! Staying up late, sleeping all day, pool days, sleepovers, outdoor activities and fun!
