June Sponsor Swap
This is my first official sponsor swap, and while I only have one this month, she’s a worthy blogger. Hello! I’m Taylor and I blog over at Goings on in Texas. I am a 30-something, Texas transplant who was born and raised in Arkansas. I moved to this great state in 1999 to attend college and I never looked back.

Wednesday Night Post to Count as My Thursday Post
So I realize I must bore you all to death. Yada yada my garden this, yada yada this pretty picture. Here’s the thing. This evening my cat took a sip of my tequila and orange juice. How do I know? I saw the post lick ripples in the water, and then she proceeded to lick her nose and wipe it with her paw. I am not okay with this. I really like this tequila and it was the last of…
