christmas, the Night Owl | December 25, 2013

Merry Christmas!

The other day I heard the end of this Christmas song said aloud as prayer.  I felt it in my heart, maybe you will too:


O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel



Amen, tell it to your neighbor!


Merry Christmas!

    Recently, I went to a few stores to help a client get ready for a funeral. Side-note, if you don’t have a go-to funeral look in your closet, it’s a good thing to have. No one really wants to go buy something new for a funeral, and when you have to go to a funeral […]

This is if your mom isn’t here any more or if yo This is if your mom isn’t here any more or if your mom isn’t the person you wish she could be or could have been for you. If she was here, if she could be or could have been that person for you, I think this is what she’d say 👆. It’s certainly what I’d say to us! 🤗 
Have you heard @andygrammer’s song, She’d Say? It is beautiful. His mom isn’t here any more, his kids didn’t get to meet her and the song is what she’d say to them if she could “use words”. I’m quoting the chorus in the visual but another favorite part is: “Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out
Just when you think the dark's here to stay" 🌇 If you haven’t heard the song, I’ll link it in my bio and play it in my stories. Happy Mother’s Day, love to you! 🤗♥️ #mothersday #mom #alateen #mentalhealth #andygrammer #shedsay #ladyblacksmithmambazo #titynquote

This giveaway is closed, thank you! 🎉 Happy May This giveaway is closed, thank you! 🎉 Happy May, we’ve got a 🍀⭐️Serious Comfort Food⭐️🍀 GIVEAWAY! 🎉 With @goodecogrocers!!! Two of you will win an expanded Family Dinner for 4 🥘 with a pecan pie 🥧, a bag of coffee ☕️, a cocktail kit🍹and next day delivery or pick-up (at @armadillopalace)! 🎉 
I knew I’d be a customer the minute Goode Company shared their new grocery concept. I thought it was genius, I trust them, it maintained jobs and they were contributing to @feedthefrontlinehouston! 🙌 I also knew that before I could fully recommend it to you, I would need to place my first order, so I made it big enough for free delivery and we’ve been eating off it all week! I’ve also been taking care with hand sanitizer and toothpaste because they sell that stuff, too! 🧻 I’ll be sharing the process and my experience over the next few days on stories. In summary though, I’m very happy and I’m more comfortable with groceries in a simplified way right now because there’s less people handling everything. 💯 So, you might give some serious thought to entering this Serious Comfort Food giveaway with #goodecogrocers and experience it for yourself! And there’s a better chance to win because it’s for 2 of you! ✌️Here’s how to enter, y’all 🤠:
1) Follow @goodecogrocers ,
2) follow or make sure you’re already following me @tellittoyourneighbor and
3) leave a comment tagging 1 friend.
4) For extra entries, tag additional friend(s) in separate comments. 
Each comment counts as an entry! (This is not affiliated with Instagram.) 🍀Good luck!!!🍀 This giveaway ends at 11 pm cst on Sunday night 5/3 and I’ll announce the winner on Monday morning! #goodegoesaround #familydinners #preparedmeals #houstoneats #houstoncurbside #houstondelivery #houstonblogger #groceryshopping #houstonstrong #supporthouston #tityngiveaway
As you might be able to tell from the heart shadow As you might be able to tell from the heart shadows, I took this photo in February for a @liketoknow.it post. I had just bought new kicks for our new treadmill, I loved them and wanted to tell you all about them because they’re black and white, TORTOISE shell and light pink! 🤍🖤🤎💗 Turns out these shoes had another thing coming! So many glorious spring walks outside. 😃🌳 Joseph and I took a 4 mile walk yesterday and we hadn’t done that since before kids! 🙌 During this time, are you, too taking more or longer walks than you have in a decade?! If so, do you need new shoes for these great walks? Because I noticed these are currently on SALE with free shipping and 60-day free returns. 👌 Long live the long walks, definitely a bright side!!! 👏 For a link to my sneakers, use the #liketkit app with a screenshot of my photo or go to my my bio 👉 @tellittoyourneighbor. http://liketk.it/2NRS0 #LTKsalealert #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKfit @nikewomen @nike #nike #longwalks #kotd #kickstagram #justdoit #fitness #nikefit #tortoiseshell #nikejoyride #titynhealth
