Hope you all are having a wonderful summer season.  I’ve just been busy working and living through the heat of TX.  We got a new AC unit installed last week and “cha-ching” that was expensive.  I’m hoping we can do something fun with the kiddos this summer and go to the mountains or hiking again.  Speaking of hiking, if you haven’t tried this orthotics for your shoes…it’s a must!  They are so comfortable and really make a difference in my walks the older I get.  Ahem….just turned 45 yikes!

This young lady is about to turn 7 and is going to have a roller skate party this weekend.  Oh how fast the time has flown by.  It seems like she was just born yesterday.  Now she’s growing up and sweet and sassy!

We’ve been spending a lot of time in the pool this summer and if you have a tween or teenage girl then you must check out Pixielane!  They have the cutest clothing for that age.  My discount code is: THEJAVAMAMA

In other news I got a new car and it’s all electric and I really like it!  Actually, I really like not getting gas anymore and don’t have to charge it often.  I like it way more than I thought, but I do miss the room I had in my Highlander.

I put together my London cityscape Lego set Connor got me for Mother’s Day.

I found a 7-Brew coffee in Texas and was so excited!

If you are looking for cute festive tees for the 4th of July or any holiday check out our shop Twinny Tees!

The cutest coffee cozies from JAVASOK this summer I am vibing 🙂

The perfect lip gloss from Zebra– a clean skincare company and I am obsessed with the iced latte shade.

Other summer finds- obsessed with these gingham sneakers too!

Allie and Bess is my favorite accessory line and I’m loving these bubble heart charms.  Also, you can use my code BECKY20 to save 20% off your purchase at Allie & Bess.

My favorite digital camera that you can also shoot under water with!!!  CampSnap has that old school camera feel with a modern day vide.  And this is their new model….

Some photos from Netflix House in Dallas and we are still loving Stranger Things!  We had so much fun there.  If you are visiting Dallas go check it out at Galleria Mall.

Well, that’s all for now everyone and can’t wait to catch up again soon! xoxo- Becky

 

 

Happy LOVE WEEK everyone!  Well, we have a lot to catch up on and I cannot believe we are already in the 2nd month of 2026!  Fall ended and then the holiday season just seemed like one big blur.  So, let’s catch up shall we?  Connor ended his football season last year, and it sure is fun to watch him play.  Unfortunately, most of you know that he broke his kneecap and was unable to play the majority of the season.  He’s working on strength building now and getting back into shape after his injury.  One thing he did ask me for was a good pair of insoles for his shoes and football cleats.  We ordered him those and are hoping they will literally help him get back on his feet!  They are the performance insoles, and feature an odor control top fabric that helps control heat, friction, and perspiration. (If you are a football Mama you know this is important!). The cushioning layer is made up of energy activating ShockAbsorb Premium Foam, great for all athletes alike!

With Valentines day this week I also wanted to share some of my favorite finds!!!

My headband is from Brianna Cannon.  As always, you know you can use my code 10BECKY for 10% off anything on the Brianna Cannon website.

This mock neck top from Abercrombie is on my wish list too!

This cutie little cup from Igloo is giving all the Valentines Day vibes!

You all know how much I LOVE Allie and Bess- and their new HEARTS COLLECTION is everything!  I own a lot of these pieces and they are so well made and hold up well.  If you are looking for a Valentines day gift- this is it!  My code is usually “BECKY” or “BECKY20”.

This Lisa Frank Pillow Case is giving me all the nostalgia and if you grew up in the 90’s like me then I know you had a Lisa Frank sticker collection. 🙂

My 6 year old daughter saw this and loved it!  She’s really getting into little purses and bags at this age.  This one had confetti inside of it and was so fun.  Here’s the LINK.

This little gummy bear lounge set is so cute and soft.  It’s from a brand called PixieLane.  You can save 20% by using this LINK and my code: JAVAMAMA.  This brand has the cutest clothes for tweens and little girls.

Okay- this is going to be a 2025 Christmas photo dump, but here we go!  Better late than never!

Christmas season with friends and a Happy NYE!!!

I ended the year with a really bad car accident.  It was terrible.  I hit a tree on the way to work.  Don’t EVER bend over on your floorboards to pick something up!!!!  It took all of 5 seconds and I hit a curb. My car is gone and I’m in a rental now.  The good thing is that Heidi was not with me because I had just dropped her off at school and no other cars were involved thank you LORD!   I’m okay…here we are a couple months later and I’m happy to be alive.  Just waiting on this darn rib to heal and feel better.

It’s all going to look up….

We love you all and wish you the happiest 2026!

It’s TIIIIIIIME!!!!  It’s December 1st y’all, so if you haven’t started your Christmas shopping yet let me chime in and show you a few things I love, as well as some fun things we have been doing this time of year.  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  This is my absolute favorite time of year and I’m so excited it’s finally HERE.  Okay, so let’s get started and I’ll share with you some fun & unique ideas for your Christmas peeps and all around who’s of Whoville, because we ain’t Grinches around here!

1. These butterfly stud earrings are so sparkly and beautiful.  Every piece of jewelry I have from Aurate has been superior quality.  These are made with a 100% sterling silver base and plated in a thick layer of gold measuring at least 2.5 micron.  Aurate does NOT use brass gold plating.  The gemstones are the highest quality, precious and semi-precious gemstones.

The perfect sparkle and it comes in silver or gold & a ring option as well 🙂

Just to put us in the mood….look at this hallway of ornaments.  If I could just book that trip to London to visit it.

2.  These earrings are so cute!!!  Santa’s workshop!!!

3.  Love this Sleigh Sweatshirt from Brianna Cannon.  It came home with me 🙂  DON’T FORGET TO USE MY DISCOUNT CODE FOR ALL BRIANNACANNON.COM – 10BECKY

4.  Does anyone else randomly pass people’s porches and take photos?  No, just me?  I saw this porch and LOVED the topiaries.  They are from HERE.

5.  Allie & Bess is another one of my favorite accessory shops.  They are still having their black Friday sales and you have to go check it out HERE.

6.  BlackRock Coffee bar is my fave!!!!  They have all their festive drinks out – go get festive and don’t forget to whip it.

7.  This TOTE is also on my wish list.  I love Radley and they have the most beautiful and functional handbags.

8. These Dolce Vita flats are another item; I just love the stud detail.

I’ll just throw this in here…but I made a HOMEMADE chicken pot pie from scratch for Thanksgiving and was so proud of it.  Crust, fresh herbs, and all!!!

Heidi and I went to the Colleyville tree lighting.  We saw real reindeer and everything.  The kids choirs sang, we decorated cookies, saw Santa, and more!

Our Happy Thanksgiving photo lololol!

9.  This tartan tote is EVERYTHING!!! I have always been obsessed with tartan, but apparently this year “Ralph Lauren Christmas” is a thing.

10.  I love this little bookstore from World Market and it lights up.  If you know me well, you know I love a good book!

11.  Speaking of books- this tumbler from Rifle Paper is so cute too!

13.  I got these Christmas coffee jammies for Heidi and they were only $10!!!  She loves them and they are so soft.

 

14.  My favorite lip gloss.  It’s all natural and a beautiful shade.  It doesn’t taste weird and keeps your lips looking good all winter.  Code: THEJAVAMAMA for a discount!!!

15.  This little light up book house from Target is so cute and only $5!!!

16.  If you don’t have a CampSnap camera they make a wonderful gift.  They are digital cameras that take vintage looking photos.  I’ve been using mine for over a year now and love it.  They are so easy to take with you everywhere and when you get home you can upload your photos and see how they look, just like the good old days!

17.  Riley and Rett has the cutest clothing for kids and Christmas jammies.  Use my code: BECKY10 for a discount here too 🙂  Heidi’s sweater is from here.

18.  My twin sister and I started a sweatshirt/t-shirt shop and you can check it out HERE.  We have a lot of fun holiday items in there right now.

19.  These are THE BEST JEANS!!!!  So comfy and you won’t regret it.  I was on the fence with the whole “horseshoe” jeans trend, but these changed my mind.

20.  I love the shape and structure of this bag.  It’s the perfect size and looks so chic.

 

 

 

This post is going to be completely out of order- but I wanted to post some photos of our fall outings in 2025.

Here is Heidi at Pumpkin Nights in Arlington.

I won a gift card and we had fun shopping at the Galleria Dallas 🙂

We are gearing up for Christmas season!!! Don’t forget to go follow on INSTAGRAM– THAT’S WHERE I’M AT MOSTLY THESE DAYS!!!

Hey Ya’ll & happy FALL!!!  Let’s catch up a little bit shall we?  So we’ve had a lot going on and I still need to blog about our Disney Cruise, hopefully I’ll get to it soon…I took 1,000 photos…so I’m afraid to look ha!  My favorite time of year is here, the “ber” months.  I’m patiently waiting for the weather here in Texas to drop below 85 degrees.  Speaking of hot, or hot flashes (because yes I’m in that time of life!!!  We got some amazing new bedding from Crown Goose.  Our exact duvet cover and pillow cases can be found HERE.  I can definitely tell they are high quality & have a cooling effect. This duvet is super lightweight, washes well, with high quality sewing and backstitching.

Terence & I have always preferred a clean white look in the bedroom & we accessorize with euro shams or blankets.  Because it is so hot here in Texas, the quality of this betting is breathable, especially during warmer months.  There are 16 loops on the duvet to keep it in place & it won’t be shifting around when you pull on the covers.  We are so happy with this product and I wanted to sleep with it for a couple of weeks to give my honest thoughts.  It’s 100% cotton, and I love that, because it’s clean, durable, and will last a long while.

I took the kids to the pumpkin patch last week.  We had a great time and got a yummy funnel cake, walked the corn maze, and got our annual pumpkin photo.

Heidi loved this giant squishy coffee lol.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. xoxo Becky
