Spring is in full bloom: the birds are chirping, colorful Texas wildflowers are dotting the fields, and vibrant annual blossoms like daffodils and hibiscuses are drenching our landscapes with their saturated hues.
Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and Black Widow may be superheroes in the DC Comics and Marvel universes, but IRL it’s our moms who are the true fearless heroines.
Bluebonnets are starting to dot the fields here in Texas, announcing the arrival of spring with their violet blue flower spikes.
As a collective, we tend to make a huge deal about Valentine’s Day, a holiday meant to celebrate affection-filled relationships with others — particularly spouses and life partners, significant others, paramours, and crushes.
Every day is a new beginning, but there’s something about welcoming in a new year that fills all our hearts with hope and optimism.
Whether you’re spending the holidays at home with your immediate family members, attending Zoom parties with friends and family, having socially distanced get-togethers in your backyard, or taking the littles on outings to check out holiday lighting displays, you always want to look as glamorous as you would have in years past.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas so, to make sure you fulfill all your Santa duties with panache this year, I have some gift ideas that are sure to please everyone on your list!
To quote Betty Caruso and Jodi Deitz (Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph’s characters in their now-iconic “Bronx Beat” skit for Saturday Night Live), we’re officially in the midst of “sweater weather.” From pumpkin patches and hayrides to colorful foliage, freshly baked apple pies, cron mazes, pumpkin spice lattes, and bonfires and s’mores, autumn has a plethora of delights in store for us.
Today marks the official start of the fall season — and, while you may already be sipping on gingerbread lattes, baking pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and hanging up harvest-themed wreaths replete with dried wheat stalks, faux pumpkins, pine cones, the truth is we’re still slowly tiptoeing our way into sweater weather.
Labor Day weekend is here — and, while our celebrations may look a bit different than they have in years past, as long as we have the willingness to pivot and make some clever adjustments, we can all safely enjoy the holiday with our loved ones.
