When you ask kids about the heroes they admire, some may answer with a list of animated Super Heroes like Spiderman and Batman, but more than likely, you’ll hear a lot of responses about the every day heroes in their lives.
For my son, the heroes are firemen with their giant, shiny, red trucks. He used to watch Fireman Sam non-stop and would stop and stare at attention any time a firetruck drove by.

This week I had the pleasure of visiting the Dallas Ft. Worth Auto Show with the She Buys Cars group. I was surrounded by smart and experienced auto-enthusiasts who knew things about “suspensions” and “horsepowers.” I, on the other hand, was there to represent the “clueless, yet curious” car buyer – which probably means that I was representing many of you. (Read all the way to the end to learn about my newest car-crush! OMGGGGG!)
Note: If you’re looking for a car-expert type review of the Dallas Ft. Worth Auto show (March 22-26, 2017,) you’re in the wrong place. BUT, if you’re (like me) and an auto-show newbie who likes to press dashboard buttons, rub leather and load up on trade show swag, this post is for you!

I love holiday lights.
You can tell by the vast array of holiday inflatables in our front yard, that we take exterior illumination pretty seriously around here. People come from miles around to take family photos in front of our holiday display, (okay, that only happened once, but it was awesome.)
Immediately after my Listen to Your Mother performance in May, our amazing photographer, Casey Chapman Ross, gave me a little nudge and said, “just wait until you see the shot I got.”
It was this one. And it perfectly captured the essence of my LTYM Performance.
Today’s the big day – the day that Jen Mann’s anthology, I Just Want to Be Perfect, is officially released. It is the absolute perfect book for summer reading
The book is full of 37 stories of women trying to be perfect and failing in spectacular ways. By some stroke of luck, my story is one of them!

For those of you who don’t live in Texas, let me take a moment to explain HEB & the HEB Buddy Buck machine.
HEB is the big grocery chain here. It’s pronounced by saying the actual letters, H–E–B. It is not pronounced Heb, like Jeb, and more importantly, it’s not pronounced Hebe, like the ethnic slur. HEB stands for Howard Edward Butt, (cue giggling children.)

Today is my birthday. I had planned on spoiling myself with a spa day, but instead I decided to spoil myself with time to write, which these days is truly a rare treat.
You may or may not have noticed that I’ve been off the blogging and writing radar since this summer.
