sweet magnolia

As I arrived at the airport to check in for my flight last week, the individual checking me in asked my destination, "Waco, Texas" I replied. His response? "By choice?" We chuckled. No, not by choice; but really by choice. Who chooses to go to Waco, Texas of all places? If it weren't for my mother living there, or my parents being from Waco, I don't think it's a place I would have ever known about. Until Magnolia Market came along. Thank you Chip and Joanna for making Waco, Texas something to talk about. The Magnolia Market is amazing, and if you get there at opening time you'll be lucky enough to feel as though you almost have the place to yourself. 

Tips of the Silos!

My sweet momma and brother! 

I want it all.

The cutest food cart I've ever seen.

cape perpetua

"Yachats, Oregon, what's that?" A question I was often asked after I mentioned to people that's where we were headed for our weekend getaway. A place I had no idea about until one weekend at the coast, Erik and I drove south down 101 and through Cape Perpetua. This beautiful cape is the reasoning for our trip to Yachats, Oregon. Well, besides the A-frame cabin. This cape is where we spent our Saturday morning, and this view is how we decided which hike we'd take. If you've never had the chance to see this part of the coast, it's a must. I still need to head back, as we couldn't see everything in the short weekend. So much green. 

another weekend, another a-frame

Yachats, Oregon was the getaway this past weekend. The reason? This amazing cabin. It was also a great reason to escape for some time with these girls.  I think I got them hooked on my A-frame cabin obsession while we were there, as they were excited to find the next to visit. Here are a few photos from our stay. The majority of the time we spent at the cabin enjoying card games, but we got the chance to go on a beautiful hike (which I'll post later). We were also able to enjoy the beautiful beach since we were blessed with gorgeous weather.

tulip fields

Spring, I love you. I'm often torn over which season to call my favorite, as I find myself enamored over each one every time they approach. But spring, you're a tough one to beat; with all of your bloom. Seriously, it's so enchanting. On Sunday I headed to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival with a girlfriend, and I anticipated a stressful day because of the popularity the festival has received over the last few years. I've been coming every year for awhile and this was the most packed that I have ever seen it.  Luckily for me, you can't really tell by the photos. I think we had the perfect plan though. We arrived around three o'clock expecting people would be heading home. As we approached the fields with wine in hand, we decided the best approach would be to hang out in the grass and finish our wine before tackling the crowded fields. We kept commenting on how the people would disperse well before six o'clock. Then we kept saying it wouldn't even matter since there was no way we would be there until that time. You guys, we were there until that time. Three hours of blissfulness roaming through the tulips, and we were right. The crowds died off, and there were moments I felt like we had the fields to ourselves. 

Mississippi Avenue

It's daylight savings today, and I can't believe I'm surviving. There's just a lot to not like about losing an hour of my precious weekend. Especially since I feel as though I never have enough time in the day already. Now daylight savings in the fall, I like you a lot. I spent my day playing catch up with a friend as we headed down to Mississippi for brunch, and then strolled the avenue.  I need to start doing this more often, as this area has a lot to offer. Hope you are all surviving the time jump, and didn't miss anything because of it!

Tried out Interurban and I am very impressed.

Spring is so close, guys!

Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd.

I need my own room like this.

Succulent obsessed and I'm not sorry.

I've been wearing this cardigan basically every day since I got it. It's from American Eagle!

Hey there, spring.
