Offseason. Every year, we pack up the family, ship the car(s), and move to a new city while my husband trains for the upcoming football season. Yes, we drop everything and follow Jeff to a foreign city for a month. Truthfully, It’s one of my favorite times of the year. The logistics can be tricky; […]

Each year, I write the kids an annual birthday letter! Dear Baby J, Happy First Birthday baby boy! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would fall in love with a chunky little boy as sweet as can be with eyes only for his mama. You fit right into our family the minute […]

NFL Week 1 Regular season football is officially underway and is pushing right along with no intentions of slowing till Week 7, the Texans’ bye week. This first weekend wasn’t the start Houston hoped for but the season is long. I thought I would share little glimpse of our Football Life as we roll through […]

I have never seen devastation like what’s happening here in Houston. It seems like people from every area of our life in Houston have been affected and it’s heartbreaking. I know food can bring comfort, bring healing, and bring people together but right now we need something, albeit small that might make an impact today.

My husband, Jeff has always had a big heart. When we first started dating back in college, I was very involved in the community as a student athlete. I would casually invite him along to some of the service events and I don’t remember him ever turning me down. Now it could be because he […]

This has been a year of firsts! Last week, I was given the opportunity to represent the Lady Texans on KHOU 11 Great Day Houston as they get ready to release the second annual edition of the Houston Texans Cookbook. In case you missed it, you can find the segment HERE. The book features recipes from […]

When we were looking for a home, I was definitely looking for a room that could house all of Joy’s toys (preferably with a door) and could also serve as an office space for me. I was selfishly looking for a playroom so I could move some of the toys out of our living room […]

Back in KC, I used to write the occasional KC Update where I would just talk about what we’ve been doing, what causes we have been supporting, and anything else I wanted to ramble about. Welcome to my first Houston Update! We have never been this busy before. EVER. From charity dinners, to burger bashes, […]

I did my absolute best to keep up with Joy’s baby book— I was more or less successful. The BIG things are in there but some of the smaller anecdotes are absent. Thank goodness for Instagram and 64 GB iPhones. Well an easy thing to commit to was a letter to baby girl every year […]

  I knew this would happen. We knew free agency was approaching, and we knew it would be a little hectic but we vowed to take it all in stride and roll with it. Of course all that went out of the window as soon as the phone started ringing. It didn’t help that we […]
