Slowly but surely we are getting some Fall-ish weather and it’s been amazing! I love seeing the wooded area behind our house change from green to golden hues. We have so much wildlife around us and sometimes I like to just walk among the trees and take it in. It’s hard to believe we live […]
I recently decided to try Stitch Fix because I had heard some pretty great feedback from some ladies I know. I’m not a stranger to subscription boxes (our dog Bella enjoys a monthly box from Bark Box), but I have never tried a service just for me. I thought that it might be helpful to […]
Hello and happy Friday from a very wet and rainy central Texas. Although I do really love the rain (and spending time inside curled up with a great book and my favorite coffee or wine), the weather this week has put a damper on things. One, I haven’t been able to take my favorite fur […]
Happy Friday! We’ve had some rain showers this morning but now the sun is out and it’s looking like a beautiful day in central Texas. A hot day, but a nice day. I thought I would put together a little roundup of my Instagram outfits from the week and explain why I love the OOTD […]
Hi everyone! I hope that Thursday is going very well for you and you’re looking ahead at a fun weekend. Today’s post is a little short, but one that I wanted to share with you. A couple of weeks ago I was invited by Ashley from Reservoir De Rosé to “Care in Color” at the […]
Finding that just right balance of business and casual can be tricky. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier if I worked in an office with a set dress code. Either dress up or dress down completely. It’s the in-between that leaves a lot of people wondering what exactly “business casual” means. Depending […]
Wow, haven’t done an Instagram recap in a long while! Things have been steadily busier around here and we’ve been traveling some, too, which I’ll never complain about. I think I could just about be gone every weekend. Are you a homebody or do you like to find an escape every now and then? We […]
Well, nothing like disappearing from your blog for nearly a month! I promise I am still around and among the living. We returned from two absolutely amazing weeks in Greece (get ready for my Greek edition of Eat+Stay+Play) and I’m slowly getting back to reality. I hope you followed along on Instagram (@cathedralsandcafes) where I […]
Wow, I have really fallen down on the Instagram recap for you all. I’m so sorry about that, but I have a very good excuse. I just returned from 5 fabulous days in California (check out my Eat+Stay+Play guide on the blog) and I’ve been running around like a crazy person getting ready for an […]
Ever since our weekend trip to New Orleans, I find myself thinking about it quite a bit. Mostly I’m just daydreaming of strolling along the cobblestone streets of the French Quarter or ducking into a swanky bar for a cocktail and the soothing sounds of a jazz ensemble. Of course, there’s also the food. Did […]
This week’s Instagram recap is just a couple days late because we have been enjoying every minute of the long Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed grilling out, attending the San Antonio Parade of Homes, having a pool day and just getting caught up on some much needed rest. If you followed my Instagram stories I […]
I always look forward to Memorial Day weekend. It’s a time to remember those who have served in our country’s armed forces. Although I do enjoy the extended weekend to relax and recharge, it’s nice to take an extra day and be thankful for those who have sacrificed so much. My husband and I usually […]
I could write a love letter to the weekend. Any weekend, really. Those magical two days of mental bliss. No work stress, no “office hours.” Just relaxation and fun. Maybe a little sleeping in, maybe an adventure or two. I live for these days (and must work to fund them, but as the saying goes, […]
TGIF! I want to start by thanking everyone who has stopped by this little blog of mine and liked a post, made a comment, or followed me. It means so much when you put a great deal of effort into something and then see how much others enjoy it and appreciate it. Thank you all […]
These scripted sun hats are everywhere right now and they’re a fun way to add a little humor or attitude to your summer attire. They say things like “Wish You Were Here” or “Out of Office.” Since I already had a sun hat I decided to make my own. I bought my hat from J. […]
I can’t believe we’re looking back on April already. It seems like I just posted my March Round-Up. I hope that it was a fun month for you! We certainly had a packed 30 days between work travel and conferences, but we managed to have a little fun too. I started the month sharing some […]
Whether you’re heading to the Kentucky Derby or just attending a Derby party, tradition requires a fun hat of gigantic proportions and a cute dress. Even the official website has head-to-toe tips for men and women to look their best on Derby day. I’m pretty excited to wear some new heels and my giant sunhat. But really I’m […]
Hello and happy Monday! I hope the weekend was good to you. Mine was really fun. Mostly I’m just glad to have my other half back in town from a work trip. All is right in the world again. Well, get ready for Kentucky Derby posts this week! Today’s post is all about a sweet […]
Hi, friends! How is it the end of another week? The past couple of weeks have been a little rough because both the Mr. and myself have been traveling for work. Last week I was gone for a work conference and now this week so is he. I’m not upset, don’t get me wrong…I mean, […]
Mother’s Day always sneaks up on me. I see things throughout the year and think, my mom would love that! And then life goes on and schedules get crazy and before I know it, I’m scrambling to find something thoughtful at the last minute. I’m not alone, right? Several years ago my mom gave me a […]
