all things, me...

You know so much more about Grace than you do about me, since us mamas tend to brag and chat about our babies than we do ourselves, so I decided to make this post about - all things me. That way, lovely readers I don't know can learn a little more about me, and those I do know may learn a little more.

my family = me.

I love and adore everything about my family, and I am convinced that there is no way I could have been any more blessed. My hubby amazes me with his appreciation with every day life and his hard work and dedication to make this family sore. Grace is the happiest child I know, she rarely has 'off days' and she's just adorable ( I am allowed to say that!). And, we can't even wait for sweet Jacob Ryan to arrive. He will complete our family of 5.

cooking = me.

Paula Deen is my food "idol". Anything tasty, southern, buttery, is considered goodness to me. I'm always experimenting with new dishes. Make sure you check out my series - Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays for a delicious, simple, and southern recipe that I share weekly.

wine = me.

Oh boy I can't wait to bring out the wine glasses again! I don't drink very much, but wine is my favorite thing to enjoy while cooking/relaxing, or with friends. Luckily, we have some of the best wineries here in Texas. One of my favorites is in good ole Aggie Land: Messina Hof.

pictures = me.

A new camera is on the top of my Christmas wish list this year. My camera is one of my most cherished possesions. I love being able to freeze precious moments in order to hold onto them forever. I don't want to forget a thing!

dogs = me.

Especially one in particular. Most of you don't know that we have a sweet lab/great dane named, Allie, she is Grace's bff. Allie is the absolute best dog, she puts up with terrors from Grace and handles Grace bouncing on her ('ride little horsey') like a champ. She is the poster dog for a family animal. We love her. She was Justin's wedding gift from me, and before Grace (sorry, Al) she was Justin's 'girl'. She still is, she's just 2nd in line now!

DVR = me.

Fall is the absolute best time of the year for TV viewing, in my opinion. It is also when my DVR is on overload. The shows I love include: House, So You Think You Can Dance, Greys Anatomy, The Office, Flash Forward, Super Nanny. I love my TV time with JK, we have frequent TV date nights.

lists = me.

I am obsessed with list making. If I don't write it down, I forget. That's how much I rely on lists. I also just love the feeling of getting things accomplished and being able to check them off. Some fabulous stationary/list making items you ask? I love finding cheap ones at Target or Michaels, and for stationary (like for christmas lists, etc.) I love this hop called Swoozies in our town center here in Sugar Land. It's perfect!

other things = me.

Jesus, country music, college football, mexican food, pedicures, sweet tea, diet coke, Target, Tyler candles, cold weather, fall, a great book, and travel...

Tell me about you!
