One of the hardest things about living in New Jersey is the homesickness for Texas. I miss wide open spaces, and tacos whenever I want (not made by me!) and bluebonnets, obviously. But even more so, I miss my people. My core group of friends. My family, of course. But also, there are a few …

When I was little, Easter was always one of my favorite holidays. All the honey baked ham you could ever want, and a weekend full of family. Not to mention, hunting high and low for the eggs hidden in every nook and cranny of Nanny and Gaga’s backyard. It’s the stuff truly happy childhoods are …
