Today is actually my hubby’s 50th birthday! Lucky for me, he is four months older than me, so he hits all the milestone birthdays first! So, if you already know him, be sure to give him a shoutout on Facebook or send him a text! He is low key, so he refused any sort of big birthday celebration, so we are going to lunch at one of his fave places instead.
Basketball Season!
My son’s high school basketball season ended last week. He was a starter on the Freshman B team and his team went 24-1 for the season! Their only loss was to a team they had just beat in the championship game of a tournament a few days before. I am really proud of how well he and his teammates played together all season. They were a lot of fun to watch!
Now that high school season is over, it’s on to AAU basketball season! He joined a new team this year, Space Jam Elite, and they had their first tournament last weekend and won the tournament championship! He and a couple of his friends also met Hakeem Olajuwon, whose program was also in the tournament (we beat them twice!).
Rodeo is Around the Corner!
If you live in or near the Houston area, you already know what kicks off next week! The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo (HLSR)! I am excited to see New Kids on the Block on March 7th, and we are going to the HLSR Carnival with friends on March 5th to ride rides and plays games (and the kids will end up with a ton of prizes!)!
I love seeing the rodeo art. A student from our high school placed 2nd overall for rodeo art this year! So cool! When I was in junior high, one of my pieces was chosen to be shown at the rodeo. Years later I had it framed and now it hangs in our dining room, which is Texas themed. Check it out!
Spring is Coming!
Spring officially arrives on Monday, March 20th! I am definitely ready for some nice spring weather (not the rainy gross spring weather!)!
Speaking of Spring….have you seen our Origami Owl Spring Exclusives Collection for 2023? We released it in three stages, and everything is out now! Take a look at some of my faves (Claras!):
St. Patrick’s Day is coming soon!
I am a huge fan of the Pioneer Woman, and thought the website came up with a pretty thorough list of ideas for St. Patrick’s Day fun! From invitations to dress code to crafts and treats, they have everything you need! Check it all out HERE!
Do you have any customs around St. Patrick’s Day? I love to wear green and also pinch everyone I see (that I know - not strangers! LOL!) that isn’t wearing green! I will also argue with people who think they are wearing green when they so obviously are NOT wearing green!
BONUS
Send an email to me at jfsyers1@gmail.com by 3/31/2023 and tell me your favorite song and who sings it! Everyone who sends an email with their fave song will get some happy mail from me (and maybe some Origami Owl goodies!)!
A Little Break For Humor…
