A Year Ago Today…

Posted on February 16, 2018 by thatskinnytallgirl

A year ago today, I thought my world was crashing in on me. A year ago today, something I thought I was meant to do was taken from me. A year ago today, I was heartbroken, angry, confused, bitter. A year ago today, I learned who was REALLY there for me and who would have … Continue reading A Year Ago Today…

These girls! They are like my daughters from other mothers. James Avery put us all together, but friendship keeps us together. Two of us are gone from the store now, so we keep in touch by text. Today we brunched and shared a TON of laughs! YES I’m old enough to be their momma, yes I tower above them, but they have a huge piece of my heart and always will!! . #thatskinnytallgirl #brunch #friendship #daughtersfromanothermother #laughs
Spent a few days at my Nonnie’s house, in Houston. She’s 99 and spunky as ever! Her house is my comfort zone, a constant since I was 2 years old. We moved A LOT when I was growing up, yet her home was always there...like a safe harbor in a changing world. I learned to read, cook, sew and sooo many things in her house. As I looked around, this picture caught my eye. So long ago, yet it seems like yesterday. She wanted a pic with her great grand babies (only ones at the time) so we obliged. My babies were so little!!!! . Do you have a favorite pic from long ago? . #thatskinnytallgirl #grandmother #greatgrandmother #family #pics #memories #dontblink
TRUE CONFESSION TIME! I’m TIRED of dyeing my roots every month! I noticed my hair was thinning too. So, a few months back, (with my awesome, supportive hair magician) I ditched the dye. It hasn’t been easy, there’s moments of “wth am I doing”, but I’ve stayed the course. My girls, and my adopted girls at work, have been sooo supportive and encouraging. They’ve talked me off the ledge MANY, many times! My hair magician @hairandbrowsbymonica has helped eased the transition with highlights (in the beginning) and periodic toning (not sure if that’s the correct terminology). It’s starting to get interesting! I find the demarcation lines are more fun when my hair is curled, so I’m transitioning to Curly Girl Method (which also requires PATIENCE....of which I’m lacking). BUT....what’s sooo funny now, is people actually ask me if who did my gray roots and highlights (ummmm....seriously....if they were INTENTIONAL, they’d look so much better!). But, for now, I’m embracing this madness that IS my hair and trusting the process....and, guess what? I have baby hairs popping up....MORE HAIR YALL!!!! So, if you see me, and can’t be encouraging....do what your momma taught ya....keep that shit to yourself!! 😜 (ps...hair styling definitely NOT by @hairandbrowsbymonica ! She is a magician and this is called the natural look. Lmao) thank you @grombre for celebrating this stage of our lives!
How many @decorsteals and @boxedhomedecor are too many? (Asking for a friend). I mean, SERIOUSLY! You think you’re done and there it is...something you can’t live without. I will admit, the seasonal items do get switched out, but overall I love the eclectic charm of it all. If y’all remember, I found this beauty and had planned to restore it. But, instead, decided I love her stains and scratches. It makes her unique and doesn’t cover up her history. #thatskinnytallgirl #history #decorsteals #boxedhomedecor #raedunn #farmhouse #eclectichome #love #seasonaldecor #foundtreasures #repurposedfurniture
100% accurate! Now, don’t get me wrong, I adore 🥰 summer! I get sad when the pool gets too cold to jump in, because my soul CRAVES water! BUT...I’m also totally jealous of ppl who can wear the cute fall clothes that we see everywhere. Can we have it both ways please?!! #thatskinnytallgirl #fall #summer #south #texasgirl #whatsfourseasons
Cupcakes and flowers. . He . Gets . Me! . It’s been an interesting few weeks. A lot is changing around here. It’s exciting, scary...all the emotions, but the Peace I’ve got tells me it’s the right decision. So, today, I come home to THIS! My sweet hubby just gets me! #changes #blessed #newadventures #cupcakes #flowers #thatskinnytallgirl #hubby #surprises
