One of the perks of living in a big city is that events actually happen here. (DUH–but we were really excited abou this one–and it was free!) One of them we were really excited about was the Renegade Craft Fair. It’s basically just a bunch of really cool craft/artist people set up in booths. It’s…
disneyland | rebekah + emily
Once again, we headed down to Anaheim (a bit earlier than usual), guests and newly adopted dog in tow. We boarded lil Albert and began our adventures in Disneyland. Though humid (but nothing for a bunch of Texans), we were blessed with a cooler day (and a bit of rain). Of course, a visit to…
meet albert
About a month ago, savannah had been sneakily browsing Petfinder when she found this little hunk named Albert and was head over heels. Although our lease said no pets, she instantly fell in love with that little face and wanted to bring him home. After almost a month went by, she just couldn’t stand it…
rebekah + emily visit
We were blessed to have our second family visitors arrive from Texas last Wednesday night. Thursday was filled with some exploring, girls lunch at Portos (a must), vintage and antique browsing on Magnolia Blvd and dinner at The Melt (really, who doesn’t love a grilled cheese?). On Friday, the girls walked along the Chandler bike…
baked green beans

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Snap the ends off the beans and place them spread out on a jelly roll pan. Sprinkle with olive…
‘matoes
If you follow savannah’s Instagram, you’re well aware that we’ve been growing tomatoes. One container hosts a “Health Kick Tomato” plant and the other, a “Sweet 100s” (savannah’s favorite). We planted the former mid-March (see photo) and the later a couple of weeks later. Our first ‘mato came June third! …and then there were more……
humming birds
Back in mid-May, we noticed a couple of humming birds in our backyard, so of course we ran out a bought a couple of feeders. At first, we just put one up to see how they would take to it. Loved it. There were two birds–a green one we named Ricky and a red one…
disneyland sunday
It was supposed to be 100+ degrees Sunday, but we decided to tough it out and go ahead and tough out our trip we had planned to Disneyland. It was a great mix of new California friends from church–Whitney and Kyle and Katie and Bob–and old friends from undergrad in Texas–Jill and Justin. We got…
