How is everyone’s week going so far? Yesterday was my birthday, so I am feeling extra grateful for another year of life. It is crazy to think that last year at this time we were staying at The Dunmore in Harbour Island, Bahamas. Wow! I know we keep saying that everything has changed so much, but it really is true. This has been an unpredictable year, but I still have so much to be thankful for. Today we have another Mid-Week Musings, and in celebration of another year of life, I wanted to create a list of Tanya’s Favorite Things (cue Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music singing My Favorite Things).
It’s January 11 – how are everyone’s New Year’s resolutions coming along? I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but I focus on wellness goals year-round. This year, I have discovered that Walmart is the best one-stop shop for all of my wellness needs in order to stay on track. The Walmart Wellness Hub is my go-to place to find all of the inspiration and items that I need to stay healthy. From exercise, to diet, to mental wellness, it is all there and just a click away and the delivery is FREE!
Hello WEDNESDAY. Is it me or does this feel like the longest week ever? I know most of us are trying to get back on track after indulging over the holidays as well as other New Year’s goals that we’ve set. By the way, I don’t set resolutions. I just try to do better. Be better. This weeks Mid-Week Musings is the New Year edition, whatever that might be for you. Let’s look at products that will help us get back on track as well as help us feel motivated! We can make 2021 the best year yet… well, tread lightly.
Sunday, June 19th will be here before you know it. You have a father, husband, boyfriend, brother, step-dad, son – you have a man in your life that you need to shop for. Be sure to check out my Father’s Day Wish List. Great stuff and a lot of it is on SALE!
In 2012 Uber, an on-demand private driver app, launched its services in Dallas. I met with them as they were looking for several charities to connect with and get the word out about their Black Car services. They gave me gift cards to put in charity event favor bags giving guests $100 of Uber ride credit. I distinctly remember thinking to myself “no one is going to use an app to call a car service and get in a random black sedan”. Boy was I wrong. Today, guest blogger, Pete Foster, assesses all of the Uber car options (there are four) and gives us an honest opinion.
What has Max and Sparky so excited? It’s the CANIDAE pet food and treats I switched to. Independent and family owned, CANIDAE is grain free pet food made by pet people right here in Texas! Today I am giving you details on our experience and links to CANIDAE coupons to give them a try.
Oh, lordy. SoulCycle has come to Dallas and I was invited to take one of the first classes. The fact that I’m still standing is a miracle. And that I lived to tell about it is even more remarkable! And as luck would have it, WFAA Channel 8 was there to capture my class and interviewed me immediately afterward.
Listen, when my readers contact me and ask me to check out something, I do it. So when I got a request to see what SusieCakes was all about, I didn’t waste any time meandering on in and introducing myself. Someone has to sacrifice themselves and try out this 6-layers of vanilla cake baked with colorful sugar confetti, filled & frosted with retro-blue vanilla frosting. What diet???
I am literally terrified to show you this blog post. It’s because every woman I know DREADS swimsuit season and I am showing you pictures of myself in a swimsuit today. So I hope you will be kind and we won’t have any body shaming going on.
This post has been on my mind for a while and is probably the hardest one for me to write. I am an only child who is an empty nester and still has both parents living. When my mom got sick last fall, it quickly became apparent that I would need to step in and help. But what is the best solution for all of us that are the sandwich generation? Click thought to see what I discovered and to hear the radio podcast on the subject.

I don’t know about you but I have summer travel on my mind. It occurs to me that a summer vacation does not mean you have to head to the beach or mountains. And it doesn’t have to be a full week. We have plenty to do in our wonderful state of Texas and some of them are perfect for a weekend. I’ve put together a little Texas Summer Travel Guide and I want you to come along for the tour.
