Tidbit Tuesday #155

One good thing about skipping a Tidbit Tuesday is all the fun stuff that piles up just waiting to be blogged about! We had such amazing fun with my parents when they were in town last week. A quick recap… We enjoyed a celebratory birthday dinner at the most INCREDIBLE restaurant in Houston!! Listen up. If you haven’t been to Masraff’s in the Galleria, you MUST. We saw Les Mis (for a second time)! We took Sully to the dog park where he did his business right in front of a group of adoring women. (They quickly decided he was gross.) We drank lots of wine. And my parents got to meet a lot of our wonderful friends! I couldn’t have asked for a better visit. :)

Dylan’s started calling me his “self-improvement girl.” I kinda’ love it! I’ve kept the house clean for THIRTEEN days straight. And I don’t see an end in sight! I’ve also been working from my office instead of the couch (doing wonders for my productivity). I’m drinking more water. Eating real meals. And making the bed every morning!! I still have a long way to go where other goals are concerned, but it feels so GOOD to make progress!! (Speaking of goals! This month’s 1 For Me // 1 For You is veeery dear to me. So let this tidbit serve as your reminder to enter!)

Calling all people who watched the Superbowl for the commercials (because watching it for the food is a given)!! What were your favorites?? My top two were the Budweiser Clydesdales and the “God Made a Farmer” ads. The first made me cry like a baby. The second left me grateful to have grown up in a farming town. And grateful to see an example of still photography holding its own with a little audio mixed in. Photojournalists, UNITE!

Song of the Week: What I Do For U by Ra Ra Riot. While I don’t entirely appreciate the misspelling of “You,” my disappointment pales in light of the amazingness of this song. It’s my brand new jam. I’ve even perfected multiple dance moves that fit it perfectly. You’ll want to too after giving it a listen HERE on Spotify.

This past weekend’s wedding was another one that left me feeling thankful. I can’t wait to share it with you all – hopefully later this week!! Until then, here’s a small sneak peak at the beauteousness of Jenny and Judson…

Happy Tuesday!!

    Courtney K. - I have seen the Budweiser commercial more times than I can count on both my hands and feet and EVERY SINGLE TIME it reduces me to tears. SO GREAT!
