ICE! of years past:

Connor is now a TEENAGER, and this was his very first trip to the Gaylord.  I love this and it also makes me weep with how fast time flies!

 

Also, I’ll be taking these fun “in the box” Christmas photos soon if you want to book email me HERE.

 

 

Christmas Season 2022

This is going to be the ultimate photo dump for 2022 and my lack of blogging in general! Ha! Anyway…we had a very Merry Christmas and I wanted to share some of our favorite memories!

We love our Nannie Sue and going to the farm. There’s truly nothing like being at the farm for Christmas. It’s been that way my whole life and I can’t imagine the season any other way. We are so thankful for Nannie. This was the year her kitchen pipes froze and Mom was hauling water from the bathroom to the kitchen to wash dishes. Glad her pipes finally thawed! We had some competitive games of the “Christmas Ham” aka the saran wrap game. Also, pictionary and Family Feud were fun too!

My friend Karen and I had a great time taking our kiddos to Cirque “Twas the Night” before Christmas show.  Every time I see a Cirque show it’s always an amazing experience of music and acrobatics.

Connor and went and saw the Santa house in our neck of the woods.  There are hundreds of Santas in their yard.  It’s really fun!

I got my FAVORITE new pair of Brianna Cannon custom earrings.  Anyone who knows me…KNOWS how much I love England.  These are something I will cherish always and hopefully get to wear to visit some day.

I’ve loved being a brand rep for fun headbands and earrings this past year.  My 10% off + free shipping discount code is: BECKY10

Thanks to everyone who orders with it and supports my accessories addiction!!! 🙂

I have always wanted to go on a carriage ride. One night we were in downtown and I saw the carriage pull over and I asked the man on the carriage how to book. He said they were all booked up for the season, but they still took walk-ons. I said do you have time available??? He said as a matter of fact I do right now….and we walked on and had the best time!

Great memories with Nana and Poppy (and Poppy in his Buccees shirts!)

The most beautiful scene….the farm at Christmas with snow.

 

Heidi and I had the best time visiting the new Brianna Cannon flagship store. It’s so cute, y’all must visit if your in Frisco.

We visited Santa at the Galleria Mall in Dallas and their whole exhibit never disappoints!  We love visiting Snowday Dallas.

We also had a lovely time visiting the Daystar Christmas lights this year too!

My sister and her family came to vist and we had a fun time at The Gaylord ICE! It was finally back after a couple of years and I was ready to freeze again. I love this tradition in our family and it was awesome sharing it with my sister and hers.

So many Christmas events and memories this year!

Breakfast with Santa at Hotel Vin in Grapevine was so GOOD! They had a good Santa and the food was amazing. Eating dinner in one of the bubble domes is on my bucket list for next year. But breakfast is definitely worth the visit.

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas season too and Happy New Year!!!

Blissdom 2013

I came, I saw/heard, and conquered.

 

Blissdom 2013

 

I’ve always wanted to go to a blogging conference.  They always seem to be on the East or West coast, so I was thrilled to find out Blissdom was going to be here in DFW this year!  Of course I had to go because it was so close.  I got to meet so many fabulous gals I talk to online in person.  It was awesome!  Everyone was so nice and I had a great time.
 
Here are my roomies Lindsey, Leah, and Heidi

These girls were so much fun!  We stayed at the fabulous Gaylord Texan.  I’ve always enjoyed staying there and it’s a great place for conferences and events.  The rooms and service are wonderful.

 Whip it!

I picked up Megan at the airport.  She is so precious….and not to mention she is Mama to the cutest twinsies ever.  Her plane got struck by lightening and then I think I may have freaked her out a little bit driving in Dallas….but it was fun spending time with you Megan!!!  I’m sad I didn’t get to say goodbye, but glad we got to have a fun weekend together 🙂

 Yummy Sbarro pizza
Thank you Blissdom gals for a great weekend and fun memories.  ALWAYS a good time and I think I just about saw everything besides having to leave early due to a sick kiddo and hubby with food poisoning….yeah he hasn’t been out of bed all day.  Fun times. 
 
It’s been real….until next time!
 
DFW loves you come back soon!
