A Little Intro



Hi, Y'all! 

I'm so glad you've come across my little corner of the internet!

I am a Dallas native currently spending time in College Station while pursuing a degree in Political Science at Texas A&M University. I am an Aggie through and through as evidenced by my love for Fightin' (for touchdowns at the very last minute because honestly my sanity means nothing to them) Texas Aggie football. This fall I will begin as a student at the Bush School of Government and Public Service to obtain my master's degree.

It's been my hope to start a blog since my 10th grade English class when my teacher challenged us to go a day without social media and blog about it. I loved the experience and getting my voice out, but I didn't realize my passion for writing until I started writing for the Odyssey Online this year. 

Along with writing, I also have a love for working out, reading, baking, watching "Say Yes to the Dress" with my mom, eating Mexican food, road tripping, my sorority Kappa Alpha Theta, and pursuing Jesus Christ in every aspect of my life. 

My heart for this blog is to be apologetically genuine. I hope to share what I find, make and experience with anyone who cares to read.  Those who knows me know that I can find interest in pretty much anything and everything - basically, this new adventure could go anywhere. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Pineapple Poke Cake

Happy Memorial Weekend y'all! I love easy cake recipes. They take no time to accomplish, and they're an easy crowd pleaser. With triple-digit heat on the horizon in Dallas, I wanted to make something a little summery in time for the weekend and after playing around with a few ideas, a poke cake seemed to be the winner. I initially wanted to try this with peaches and cream, but I couldn't find peaches in my cabinet so pineapple won. With that being said, this recipe can be used with a variety of canned fruit so get creative, and don't forget to tell me what you tried! Pineapple Poke Cake 1 can of crushed pineapple 1 cup of coconut cream 1 box of white cake mix (yellow works too) 1 1/2 cup of brown sugar Instructions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease the bottom of a 13x9 baking pan.

Patriotic Chia Seed Pudding

Let me clue y'all in on one of my favorite items for breakfast - chia seed pudding. I initially tried it at First Watch, but I had seen a ton of recipes for it on Pinterest so I decided to give it a whirl and y'all, it is so easy. This is just a basic, standard recipe for chia seed pudding. I usually make a batch of it on Monday and eat it throughout the rest of the week. There are so many ways to garnish and top your chia seed pudding with your favorite granolas and fruits, but I stuck with the traditional red, white, and blue for this patriotic creation. The Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. When I was younger all the neighborhood families used to go to decorate bikes and wagons and parade down to the park nearby behind a firetruck. It was so much fun and it always ended in bomb pops for breakfast! Although I am a little old for the neighborhood parade, I still enjoy getting in the spirit by making red, white, and blue food. This summer espec
