Sometimes, it is important that you show your true colors. We may be currently deep in the heart of Texas but I, Jennifer, owner of Polka Dot Peacock, am an LSU graduate. And tonight, in case your family doesn’t live and breathe sports as much as mine does, LSU plays for the BCS National Championship. [...]

I Am Thankful: Day 11

November 16, 2010

I am thankful for adventure. When I was a child, on occasion, hot air balloons would fly high near our house. We’d jump in the car and try to chase them, hoping to see where they’d land. On nights good for star gazing, we’d take my father’s telescope to the field at the end of [...]

I Am Thankful: Day 10

November 15, 2010

Yes, I took a break during the weekend. It was crazy busy, my computer wouldn’t connect at my in-laws’ house and I took that as a sign that I need a few days off. I am thankful for the little things that make my life big and amazing. My rain boots. Especially if it is [...]

I Am Thankful: Day 8

November 11, 2010

I am thankful to those who have come before me. It was four years ago today that my Memother was taken from this earth, and I don’t believe that a day has gone by without memories of her. She made an amazing manicotti, refused the leave the house without her make-up and was a regular [...]

I Am Thankful: Day 7

November 10, 2010

I am thankful, at least most of the time, for the suburbs. Mrs. Lyn, our next-door-neighbor, calls us when the donkeys, alpacas and llamas come along the back of her property and we take our carrots and feed them. Yes, we used to be city-folk. But, at least for now, we can see the stars. [...]

I Am Thankful: Day 6

November 9, 2010

I am thankful for my mini-van. My family had a Dodge Ram van growing up — there was nothing mini about it. There were two bench rows and you could flip them so that they’d face each other. A table would pull out in between the two bench rows, and we’d eat our McDonalds and play [...]

I Am Thankful: Day 5

November 8, 2010

I am thankful for Nutella. Since the day my kids discovered it at the grocery store — and then saw it paired a few days later with jelly and marshmallow fluff at Square Burger in downtown McKinney – my lunch-making task has become much easier on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I Am Thankful: Day 4

November 7, 2010

I am thankful that my parents thought music was important enough to force me into piano lessons for so many years. I am thankful that my parents took us to the Memphis Symphony when I was growing up — though likely even more thankful that they let us leave at intermission to eat dessert at [...]
