10. My husband and I moved our daughter from Dallas to Pensacola, FL last weekend and I'm happy to report we made it out alive and relatively unscathed. J (my hubby) and my mom's husband packed everything into two trucks Tetris style, which I will admit gave me a little bit of anxiety. We made what felt like a million stops, there was cat throw up, a tire that had to be patched mid-trip, and my daughter accidentally called OnStar three times (which for the record shuts down your navigation and Continue Reading

I’ve been streaming it all day! I love Maren Morris. And I've been obsessed with Brandi Carlile since I saw her on the Grammy's earlier this Continue Reading

10. Keanu and crew will be back for Matrix 4. My movie secret shame is that I have never seen any of the Matrix movies.

Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich- Have y’all seen folks on the interwebz talking about this? Well Popeye’s launched a chicken sandwich. WaPo says it’s excellent.

Follow up from Smexy Survey
In late May I posted a survey of sorts to learn more about the Smexy readership and I am thankful for all the responses.

We are going to bring that back. Look for it soon. It might be the Top 5 or Top 8, but it Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten – July 27
10. I don't know if I blame this on being 40, or just being a big dummy but... on Wednesday, I dropped my son off at his 30 min piano lesson, and I ran to the grocery store to grab a few things. I then promptly drove home, and unloaded the groceries and kept thinking - hmmm something feels weird. Yes, I forgot my son was still at piano (I had his cell phone in my purse) so that was super awesome. And then yesterday, I drove him to his 90 min rugby practice. I came home and started dinner, and Continue Reading
