I interrupt your regularly scheduled Graves Academy COVID-19 Home School Schedule to bring you something a little more positive. This past week, during our regularly scheduled Spring Break (and before everything blew up with COVID-19 affecting almost every part of our world), Garen and I took a trip to Big Bend. It was actually myContinue reading “Texas Travel: Big Bend Day 1”

Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust
I love blueberries….any way you fix them. Growing up, my Grammy made a lot of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers, and, occasionally, a blueberry pie. For quite a few summers in a row, one of my Uncle Mo’s good friends provided a steady supply of fresh blueberries. Grammy always froze them and we had (almost) freshContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”
Mommy Review Monday: Pottery Barn Fairfax Pre-K Toddler Backpack
For the girls’ birthday last year MaMa got the littles backpacks since they’d been trying to steal the bigs’ bags and backpacks for a few months. After all, what toddler doesn’t like bags??? These Fairfax Pre-K backpacks have been FANTASTIC. They are the perfect size for the littles and they LOVE to carry them around.

Adventures with Four: Roadtrip to See Grandad at the Blowin’ O
My Grandad (my dad’s dad) is my last living grandparent. He’s had a couple of strokes in the last year or so and has had a rough time in general since my Granny has passed. It’s to be expected when you’ve lived a good, long life and lost your wife of 65 years. Currently, he’sContinue reading “Adventures with Four: Roadtrip to See Grandad at the Blowin’ O”
Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights
As I write this today, I’m recovering (and doing loads and loads of laundry) from our family vacation. It was fantastic and exhausting. We started out last Friday roadtripping down to Galveston with the littles (stay tuned for a post on road trips with toddlers), followed by an afternoon at Schlitterbahn in Galveston. Saturday, weContinue reading “Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights”
Mommy Review Monday: Panera Bread App
It’s been a while since I’ve written a Mommy Review Monday but was spurred into thinking of it today because this app is something I feel I should share. Since I’m on the road this week, I enjoyed a lovely meal from Panera Bread. (Half Turkey BLT and Half Green Goddess Salad). I pulled outContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Panera Bread App”
Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road
I’m on the road a lot for work. Eating healthy on the road is hard. Extra hard when you love food and you use food as a way to keep you entertained and/or you have a 3-4 hour drive. Here’s what I’ve been doing lately to make it work: Pack my lunch and snacks when IContinue reading “Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road”
Dashboard Randomness: Sunrises and Bluebonnets
Today I had a golf tournament for one of the regional associations I’m part of in San Antonio. Usually, when I go to San Antonio I will drive down the night before but I have been on the go so much lately I decided to just wake up early and drive this morning. And, boy,Continue reading “Dashboard Randomness: Sunrises and Bluebonnets”
Carry On
Driving down (actually up but I always want to say I’m driving down somewhere for some reason) 35N on my way home today Carry On by Pat Green came on. It’s a Texas Country classic, in my mind. Honestly, I’ve not ever put much thought into it besides that it reminds me of driving theContinue reading “Carry On”
Adventures with Four: How we survived an 8-Hour Roadtrip
We just survived an 8-Hour round-trip road trip with twin 9 month old babies, plus a 5 and almost 8 year old. Here’s my travel tips for a successful trip with that many kids in one vehicle: Consider leaving at night or early in the morning so you can get as much of the driveContinue reading “Adventures with Four: How we survived an 8-Hour Roadtrip”
