A Payday Bar! The salty peanuts, the sweet candy corn and the milk chocolate chips make for the iconic candy first manufactured in 1932 by Frank "Marty" Martoccio, a macaroni and candy manufacturer from Minnesota.

It`s so easy to make and fun to bag up to give as a sweet hostess gift. I love using @lecreuset croquettes to serve. 🎃

Curate your closet into a space you love to start your day! If you see what you have you`ll use it!

The glass shelves are from @thecontainerstore and are the perfect perch for my handbags. Furniture in your closet offers more storage for things you need but my not want to see. The vintage cabinet came from @fortworththewait

Did you notice my @toryburch personalized perfume bottle! Swoon.

A beloved Fort Worth landmark since the early 1920s, @pariscoffeeshopftw Paris Coffee Shop has served generations of Fort Worthians over the past century. My daddy`s business was right around the corner and I remember going to have lunch with him way back in the day when he knew the original owner, Vic Paris.

The Coffee Shop changed ownership and underwent a thorough restoration with a respect to the past and an authentic period look to honor the café’s heritage.

It`s a great place to meet friends for breakfast or lunch.

Hair is the first thing we notice about people, and for many women it is the first barrier to feeling better about aging. 

Woman founded and owned - Better Not Younger - is the first brand designed specifically to address the needs of hair that`s seen a decade (or five) for women who believe beauty is not defined by age.

I love their Lift Me Up Hair Thickener and Hair Redemption Restorative Butter Masque. My hair feels soft, full and frizz free.

Link in my bio to learn more about @betternotyounger or comment HAIR and I`ll send you the link to shop all their products!

Secret tip use mayonnaise! Spread on your bread instead of butter and you get a delicious, crispy crust on your grilled cheese.

And we`ve been LOVING our @wildgrainbox monthly deliveries filled with bread, pasta, croissants and biscuits. Their Rosemary Sourdough made a beautiful grilled cheese.

Now are you team @hellmannsmayonnaise or @dukes_mayonnaise? Tell me below👇👇.

Chicken Taco Soup - Friday Food! My best soup recipe. So easy you`ll make this all fall and winter long. Comment below what recipes you`d like to see me make for inspiration.👇👇

Pro tip: We grill whole chickens on the weekend and de-bone them, store in zip lock bags in the freezer for weeknight meals. Two hens from Costco is about $14. Big savings.

RECIPE:

3 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 diced onion
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can water
1 can cream corn
1 can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 envelope Ranch seasoning
1/4 cup Taco seasoning

Sautee onion in 1 tsp olive oil. Add remaining ingredients. Let it come to a boil then turn heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Makes great leftovers. Be sure to SAVE for later!

Jury Duty Outfit! I don`t know why but every two years, like clockwork, I receive a summons. So, I thought I`d let YOU vote for what I should wear. Tell me below👇👇

Something respectful of the court but is comfortable and makes me blend😅.

Have you ever been selected to serve on a jury? I`m never picked. I just spend the entire day waiting....

It`s Monday - probably the most stressful day because it`s back to all the responsibilities in life. This is your reminder that YOU are your greatest asset. Pause and give yourself a moment of grace and encouragement. You are amazing and LOVED.

Now go get `em tiger!

Every southern bride needs a monogram! These custom cache pots from @southernhospitalityco are the perfect gift really for any occasion but especially as a wedding or baby shower gift. Look at the details. I especially love the ball feet.

It`s easy to select your colors and monogram style. I added a @traderjoes Orchid wrapped it in cellophane and presto!

Follow me for more fun ideas and warm hospitality!

Retrouve-moi au margot! We had a fabulous birthday lunch at the exquisite @lemargotfrench. Newly opened le Margot is curated by Chef Felipe Armenta and Michelin Star Chef Graham Elliot featuring the diversity of French cuisine while sourcing local and seasonal ingredients.

You`d never guess le Margot resides in the former Corner Bakery on Hulen. The decor, the flowers, the wallpaper in the ladies powder room WOW! And I loved the nod to the Julia-esk French copper decor in the kitchen area.

Open for lunch and dinner, weekend brunch and daily happy hour! Oui oui! Thank you @catherinewhite.art for treating me.

What are you committing to this month? My September goals -
~ Utilizing my journaling tools including a daily plan worksheet. I love checking off my to-dos and breaking down what I need to do in small tasks helps me feel less overwhelmed.
~ Looking ahead to how I want the holidays to look and feel
~ Weekly meal planning to help reduce food waste.

What are some of your commitments this month? I`d love to know!👇👇 You might inspire me!😁

My planning tools are from @breathing.room.home collaboration with @sugarpaperla. I treated myself to their collection last January.

Afternoon tea @kimbellartmuseum is a real treat. Service includes a pot of freshly brewed loose leaf tea from their vast menu of teas, and a plentiful tray of chef prepared finger sandwiches, scones, muffins, cookies and fruit with house-made jams and salted butter.

Tea service for two is $35 and served Tuesday - Sunday from 2 - 4 p.m. in the Kimbell Café by reservation. It`s a Fort Worth gem and the perfect place to meet your bestie.

Pantry Before & After! I completed my periodic cleanout of the pantry.

My process is the same as my clothing closet - take everything out, check for expired dates and return items in their proper bins. I love using @thecontainerstore multi purpose bins because the take up little space on your shelves.

I use jars for dry goods and lazy Susan`s for bottles.

Comment PANTRY for a link to my favorite pantry organizing supplies.

Welcome Home! I`m excited to kick off my house tour with you - starting first with my Ladies Lounge!

I took what would typically be a formal dining space and turned it into a comfortable lounge for my cookbook library. It`s perfect for visiting with friends, reading, displaying my cake pedestals and china or sipping my morning coffee.

The large crystal rose bowl was an estate sale find from @ltolestatesales. I love filling it with fresh flowers so it`s the first thing I see when I walk in the door.

What do you see in the video that you like? Share below👇👇.

Stay tuned for more home tour fun.
