For this week's Waxahachie Wednesday, I’m excited to spotlight the cutest little café tucked right in the heart of downtown Waxahachie, Texas—Celebrity Diner and Bakery. If you’re ever strolling around the charming town square, this cozy gem is an absolute must-visit.
Thanksgiving at the Halls was such a sweet and special time. There’s nothing quite like gathering with family—sharing stories, laughter, and of course, a table full of incredible food. Every dish was made with love, and let me tell you, we all left with full hearts and full plates!
This week we started adding some Christmas cheer around the house, and I can’t even begin to explain how happy it makes me. Just a few twinkling lights, a wreath here, a festive pillow there—and suddenly everything feels a little more magical.
We had our very first annual Friendsgiving this year—and it was everything we hoped for and more. What started as a simple idea turned into a night full of warmth, laughter, and love. This incredible group of friends has become like family to us, and we're so grateful for the bond we've built together.
I’ve mentioned this before, but I am incredibly proud to serve as the Vice President of one of the largest all-female Jeep clubs in the world! We started right here in the DFW area, and it’s been amazing to watch how quickly our club has grown to include members from all across the country, reaching all 50 states. What began as a small, local community of passionate Jeep owners has turned into a nationwide sisterhood of strong, adventurous women who share a love for off-roading, exploring, and supporting each other every step of the way.
After our visit with NeNaw, we headed out to Frisco for Mason’s hockey game, and it was such an exciting experience! We were all looking forward to the game, especially since it was taking place at the same rink where the Dallas Stars practice. The atmosphere at the rink was electric, and it was a bit surreal to think about the professional players who train in that very space. It was a special feeling, knowing that Mason was getting the chance to skate on the same ice where some of his favorites play.
When the Texas Rangers won the World Series, it wasn’t just a victory for the team — it was a special moment for our family, especially for Nathan and his grandmother, our beloved NeNaw.
When we first heard the exciting news that the Texas Rangers were going to have a World Series Parade, we immediately knew we had to be there! Opportunities like this don’t come around every day, and we didn’t want to miss the chance to be a part of such a historic moment. Without hesitation, I requested the day off from work, and we quickly made plans for the parade.
The Texas Rangers Are World Freakin’ Champions!
