In a few short weeks, our little baby will be turning 3 years old. Up until this point, Ryan and I have held off on the potty training process because 1) we weren’t in our own place, 2) Jordan wasn’t showing any indication that she was ready or interested, and 3) we were terrified of [...]

This morning when I opened the door to let the dog out, I was surprised by a gust of something pleasant. What was that? Could it be?? I stepped out in all of my rumpled pajama glory to investigate further. The air was clean. The grass was crisp. The breeze was cool… It’s fall!! I’ve [...]
Case Closed!

This past Thursday Ryan and I painlessly closed on our new home. Our experience at the title company was so ridiculously pleasant, and as we finished writing our names (about 100 times or so, but who’s counting? ), we were told that this was one of the easiest house closings that this agent had ever [...]

Jordan and I are watching Dora right now (her newest fascination), and to be ready for the show Jordan has gathered a bag, keys, and her binoculars (or “her knockers”, as she calls them). I asked her if she was going to go exploring with Dora, and after looking at me with a bewildered face [...]

So I got a friend request on Goodreads today from a stranger who has apparently been following my book reviews online. I checked in to her profile to see if maybe she was somebody that I forgot I knew, but no… Besides her name and where she lives, I discovered the following about her: Love [...]

All’s quiet in the Kirksey house, so I thought I’d write a brief moving update. Originally our plan had been to close on our house in Friendswood on Wednesday and then do our final move Saturday the 1st. After a small change in plans regarding the offer for our next hopeful house, we are now [...]

Note: I started this post last week, so it’s definitely out of date. I wanted to wait for more “inspiration”, but in light of Closing Ceremonies, I guess I’ll post this one as is. Enjoy regular TV programming, everyone!! I love the Olympics. I believe that my heart usually swells with the most patriotism when [...]
Not My Finest Moment

My parents are fantastic weekend warriors. Since Ryan and I have had our home in Houston, they have invested possibly hundreds of hours in landscaping projects and maintenance on our behalf. Today we took advantage of the gorgeous Houston weather and did some pruning and clean-up on our many shrubs and trees. We were almost [...]
Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas!

Since I’m a holiday nerd (Halloween was just the beginning…), it should be of little surprise to those that know me that I have been addicted to both of our Houston stations that are currently dedicated to “all Christmas, all the time.” Again with my love for lists, I wanted to think through some of [...]
