Hi friends, hope your holidays have been a good mix of relaxing with some moments of quiet family time and energizing with some parties and festivities! Here’s what I’ve been thinking about lately.

Heard at the Heckman dinner table…
Luke (age 6)- Can I have more chicken mommy? Me- Sure, what do you say? Luke- Please? Me- What do you do? Luke to dad – Look dad! Dad to Luke- Don’t kiss my woman! Luke kisses me on my lips looking at daddy’s reaction from the corner of his eye 😆 Luke giggling –…

5 most repeated recipes that were personally given to me
Have you ever been gifted a recipe? It’s so special. The recipes I’ve been gifted by relatives, friends, and even a bed and breakfast, are recipes that I repeat and go back to most often. I also love seeing them labeled in my collections by the giver- mom’s gluten and onions, Rochelle’s beans and rice…

The secret language of drivers
There’s one thing that revives my faith in humanity, makes me feel a little bit naughty, and tickles my insides… And that’s when someone passes me in a car and flashes their lights at me to warn me that a police car is ahead. One of life’s little joys! I don’t know them. They don’t…

Stuff I share with my besties
This is how it all started…
This blog is what happens when you’ve spent your entire life trying to write in a niche here and a niche there and all you really want to do is write about random cool finds and ideas. One year at age 42, you say “Enough is enough. I’m going to write about whatever I want to write about!”
So a little about me. I’m the author of the relationship book for teenage girls, “This is What They Never Tell You about Love, Guys, and Sex.” I designed and got featured in the design category of Airbnb with this short term rental in San Antonio, TX. I run a group on Facebook for apple shapes, I homeschool my two kiddos, I married my high school sweetheart after not seeing him for 12 years, I’m a lazy foodie, an extreme extrovert, and a devout Christian. I’m also obsessed with my to-do list, productivity, real estate, investing, making tik toks, and if I could, I would get a massage every day! I love hot yoga and rock climbing, and my favorite past-time is eating or hiking with friends. I love all things food, beauty, fashion, and interior design. I love finding new things, talking about ideas and sharing them with everyone, hence this blog. If you’re still reading this, God bless your heart. Thank you for being here. I hope to build a community of like-minded friends here.
