A Blogger Meetup

Over the weekend my friend Megan from Honey We’re Home hosted a little meet-up in Houston for local blogging gals to get together and hang out, eat, and shop!  It was so much fun.  It was like everyone had been friends for years which is always comforting.

Here’s the group of the girls.

Everyone was so nice and friendly and I loved them all!

The hostess with the mostess-Megan.

And the witty and beautiful Elz.  She and I have been twitter and blog buds for a while, so it was really nice to meet her in real life. I just loved her!

See how happy she looks?  And that’s only water she’s drinking.

More sweet friends (Elsa, Kristen, and Amanda) Elsa is my new BFF.  She just doesn’t know it yet.  I also sat by Cyndy (not pictured) and she drove 2 hours to come to this!  She’s as sweet as pie too and I really enjoyed chatting and learning more about her.

More lovely ladies, Breann and Lauren.

Emily and Susannah.

And just a chattin.

After lunch we all walked to Anthropologie.

Saw some fun knobs and I should have bought a few.

And cool light fixtures that were made out of cardboard.

And here are some happy shoppers, Nancy and Kristen.

After Anthro we walked to West Elm where I have never been and let’s just say it’s a good thing it’s not closer by me.  I did buy a few things which I’ll show you soon, but I really loved that store.

For another recap of the little adventure you can read Megan’s post with a full list of the attendees. I’ve discovered some great new blogs through this too!

Hopefully we can all get together soon and have another meet-up. There are some gals I didn’t get a chance to talk to very much because of my schedule and having to leave a little early, so I hope to do it again soon. Maybe some of y’all can come next time too? :)

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    It was SO great to finally meet you. I was so excited y’all were still there so I could chat. I really enjoyed meeting everyone (you, Megan, and Emily were the three people I HAD to meet & loved you all). Can’t wait until we meet up again.

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
