I love Dallas. I love the shopping. I love the food. I love the people. (If you don’t love Dallas People, I 100% hear you, friend, but then I dare to challenge, you probably haven’t found the right people.) I love when Austin and I drive in from a weekend away, as soon as the … Continue reading The Poncho-Shawl: my autumn lifesaver
Office Outfitting 02: the utility blouse
I promised a series on “Office Outfitting” once upon a time and got so far as week one before backburnering the idea for a year and a half and crushing oh so many hopes and dreams. Because I just know you all totally noticed, and totally care, and have been totally devastated. I’ll take a … Continue reading Office Outfitting 02: the utility blouse
Rose Nude Nail Love
"There are two things in this world you are always sure about," lamented my mother once to an irrationally fickle, teenage Robin. "Austin Karber, and your fingernails." Now 25-years-old: I am Mrs. Karber, and I am still getting my nails done. She's a keen one, that Sandy. Growing up, my mother also always told us: … Continue reading Rose Nude Nail Love

The gift that made me cancel Birchbox
My mother-in-law is the kind of woman who just gives you things. It's fantastic. (Note: I hate calling her my mother-in-law. Let's call her my friend Michelle.She's been my friend Michelle much longer.) My friend Michelle is acutely in tune with her personal style and what fits her body type and image, and has a serious knack … Continue reading The gift that made me cancel Birchbox
How To Be A Wildflower + creative habits
When Instagram was new (new to me new – #EarlyMajorityAdopter4Life, cozy right behind the curve), and sharing grainy, low quality screenshots of inspirational Pinterest quotes was the rage, I shared this snippet of wisdom with all of my 27 followers: (#Creativity. Wow. What a hashtag. What an image. Those mighty juices were flowing, y’all.) Unbeknownst … Continue reading How To Be A Wildflower + creative habits
High Five for Friday(ish) 04
(belated! by 3 days! but who's counting?) With last week planted firmly in my rear view, I have no intentions of wanting to rewind and relive. It was that sort of week. But! It is these kinds of weeks, in my humblest little opinion, that are the most important to hunt for "sprinkles" -and not … Continue reading High Five for Friday(ish) 04
Thrifty Dining Table Makeover
This is less of a DIY How-To Makeover Your Table, seeing as that would imply I'm somewhat of a chief expert on the subject of making over tables. (Pause, cue laugh track.) I would love to go elbows-deep in projects like this and earn my real DIY Wings someday, because it's a whole heck of … Continue reading Thrifty Dining Table Makeover
Growing Pains
"Hey Michael, go get me some milk!" a bossy 12-year-old-Robin chirped from in front of the living room television. This was not uncommon. In fact, as the middle sibling, I knew my rights to practice the skillful art of bossing that had been exercised on me for years. It was the natural order! Dutifully, Michael … Continue reading Growing Pains
Meet Kendrick
"Let's take our calm, sweet puppy into this random meadow for some photos while he's still tiny!" AK and I thought on day 7 of our newfound pet-parenthood. Immediately after being released onto the damp grass, however, Kendrick Lamar Karber became a wet bullet of fur streaking around our feet, circling the field, and … Continue reading Meet Kendrick
