Hello and welcome to my blog where I post on a variety of topics from my finer feelings to my next big obsession. A world traveler, dog lover, avid baseball fan, foodie, planner, mountain obsessed, SMU grad, one with a deep love for entertaining & the occasional shopping trip. Love fresh flowers, all music, snail mail, monograms, to-do lists, photography, quotes, a great night out, a good pen, abbreviations, and of course fashion. Everything can be signed “xo” and I’m a true Texan at heart. Enjoy anything classy & sophisticated and know you are never too good to do the ordinary things in life. I’m told I have southern values and northern instincts and this is only skimming the surface…enjoy xo.

I know everyone must be getting sick of hearing about Mr. B but this little guy has gone through and overcome so much in the past few years I am probably as proud as I would be if he was my actual child. Most of all, he is there every good day and bad day with tons of energy and you can’t help but be happy around him! </p>http://frecklesgg.tumblr.com/post/21787511797http://frecklesgg.tumblr.com/post/21787511797Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:32:23 -05002 year anniversarymr bendelpuppy love<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2xx86OtjG1qgy56yo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>via Design Darling</p>http://frecklesgg.tumblr.com/post/21784079267http://frecklesgg.tumblr.com/post/21784079267Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:00:08 -0500Design Darling10 ways to have a good day<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2xx6xJQ1B1qgy56yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Obsessed @katespadeny</p>http://frecklesgg.tumblr.com/post/21726406808http://frecklesgg.tumblr.com/post/21726406808Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:01:16 -0500kate spadeMr. Bendel turns 4 today!
