Dog Costumes and Frito Chili Pies

My Someone and I hosted our annual party this past weekend. I say annual party with no particular theme involved. You see, after our wedding, My Someone quickly realized his wife personality was “go big or go home” when it came to party planning and hosting. My creative driven mind and obsessive attention to detail […]

For the Love of Habaneros

I have a lot of “I told you so moments” happen in my life, I can be a little bit of a quiet know-it-all and as it goes with any form of know-it-all, when the moments of being wrong come hither, they come hither strong. A couple of months ago, My Someone and I were […]

Searching for Simplicity

Every blog, social media training/seminar I’ve attended says “do not apologize for long absences of non blogging.” But, on the other hand I’m a chronic over apologizer… Who is needing a Segway to jump back into the blogging game. The last few months have been a lot. A new job. Discovering I couldn’t balance the […]

“That girl” on Flight 2137

Do you ever have those moments when you ask yourself, “Why am I such a walking disaster?” I mean, I try like Hell to be coordinated and ladylike (despite the swear word in the beginning of this sentence). My parents paid for years of dance lessons and gymnastics. I look at my maternal genetic lineage […]

Christmas Tidings from Mid-Missouri

I know Christmas was two weeks ago, but I wanted to share with y’all a secret santa type group I participated in called Christmas in the Country. While Christmas in the Country is in it’s second year, this was my first to partake. It basically works the same as secret Santa, but with ag bloggers. […]

Signs you’ve hit your tired, overworked breaking point

I feel like my posts as of late all have the same subliminal messages. Danielle is busy. Danielle is tired. Danielle is working four jobs. Sorry, y’all. I promise the end of this madness is near. No one will be happier than me… except maybe My Someone — not only is he most days the […]

Where We Are

When I said early next week, I really should’ve said mid-three weeks from now. I think that first sentence describes what my life is like — has been like — for the last six months. It’s so busy and crazy I just lose track of time. However, I am really excited that there is a […]

Where We Started

As I sit here, staring at my kitchen with only a few cabinet doors hung and an entire house lacking base boards, I realize I seriously am in need of some new motivation for home remodel. We did so much, so quickly, that My Someone and I have spent the past couple of months in […]

My Husband’s Truck

I fear how backwoods Okie I am about to sound with the content of this post, but just roll with me here for a bit. Do you ever have one of those weeks? You know, those weeks where you have an impossible to achieve to-do list ahead of you, the house never seems to stay […]

Till the Cows Come Home to Double Dan Ranch

*Confession* Referring to my husband as a “farmer” is incredibly awkward to me. He raises livestock, not crops, so in my mind and probably most everyone’s west of the Mississippi he qualifies as a rancher. On the other hand, my husband finds it incredibly awkward when I refer to him and his parents as ranchers […]
