Merry Christmas from our family to yours!  I wanted to share some highlights from our Christmas card photo shoot.  We tried to take our photos this year at the Stanley hotel but the weather would not cooperate at all.  Not only was it freezing cold, the winds were...

It seems like I've been saying we're moving for months now... or at least it does to me.  As of yesterday it's official, we no longer own our house.  We are paying a month's rent, though, so we technically have this house until the last day of May.  Yesterday was so...

Hey everyone!  I'm ready to share our news, a few have known and kept the secret, but for a lot of people I know this is going to be a shock!  We're moving!  It was a lot of stress emotionally and physically putting our house on the market, and that's why the blog...

Hello my sweet blog readers!  I just wanted to give you a heads up that I'm taking a short break.  I'll just be honest, my anxiety is very high and I need to take a good week off or so to clear my head.  Our life has been super hectic lately, we're in the middle of a...

Merry Christmas everyone!  I've really enjoyed the last several weeks sharing our Christmas decorating, fun, and recipes on the blog.  We will spend today making cookies, volunteering at the SoupMobile, and attending mass followed by a yummy dinner and watching...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I am thankful and blessed in so many ways, and I'm looking forward to this wonderful day with family.  We're hosting Thanksgiving at our house and although it's taken a lot of work and planning, I love it!  We have a few family members...

Cheers to mid-week!  I thought I'd share a few photos we took last Saturday at the Riverwalk in San Antonio.  As I mentioned on Insta, Brian had continuing education classes Friday and Saturday so I thought it might be good for Ashley to take a day off from school and...

School should feel safe and lately our girls have not felt that way.  I'm so glad it's Saturday and the week is over, honestly this week has been Hell.  Our daughters' high school has had 3 gun threats this week.  Let that sink in, 3 gun threats, all in just 3 days....

Happiness, sadness, anger, and guilt are the 4 words I would use to describe my birthday, let me repeat that last word again though, GUILT.  When it comes to having a 9/11 birthday I have a lot of guilt, and it weighs on me like a ton of bricks. September is generally...

Hey friends, I haven't had a talky post in a while, so let's chit chat.  First off, yep... we're back at the airport.  Yeah, we missed Europe so much we decided to go back.  No, I'm kidding, we're off to New York to have some Labor Day weekend fun with my Sis and...

SURPRISE, I have rebranded!  Welcome to Everyday Laura!  I'm so excited this day is finally here!  This is something that's been in the works for quite a while now.  Let me be completely honest, when I first started my blog I had no idea what I was doing.  I started...

A week ago we bought an adorable fur baby named Bella.  She was so sweet, and we all adored her, but 20 hours later she was gone forever.  Before I go on much further let me say I wasn't going to blog this, I simply wanted to move on and let our family heal, but a few...

  Hi friends!  I'm excited to announce my first House on the Corner giveaway!  I love and value all of my readers and what better way to show my thanks than a gift?  I'm going to be doing giveaways throughout the year, and to celebrate my first giveaway I thought...
