It's the end of an era for the Nixon Pack. Our sweet Chancellor (affectionately dubbed Boob by my Grandpa Darlin') passed away this week. I can't remember a time when we didn't have dogs. We adopted our first of five, Jolea, while we were dating in college, and...
Happy Halloween, spooky Scroller! This is the first year we've dressed up as a family, at Grey's insistence. We're a mariachi band with a Día de los Muertos spin, and I'm taking bets if Jon puts it on again for trick or treating tonight 😆. If you're in on the fun,...
It felt like one of those rites of passage weeks in casa de Nixon. We had our first kindergarten parent teacher conference (which went far better than I was prepared for 😆), and Grey was fitted for his first pair of glasses. It is so true what people tell you -...
We're just starting to feel those cozy season vibes here in Texas and I can't wait to share some with you today on Scrolls! This edition has a healthy brownie recipe for you to try (so easy and Grey-approved!), my favorite book of the year, and a bunch of fun finds...
We celebrated our one year homeversary as Texans this weekend, and it was so joyful to reflect on our journey here last year, and take time to really appreciate what this move meant to our family. My Dad always encouraged us to celebrate these milestones, and I am...
I have a funny story about the "makeover" you see happening here. But first, Happy Sunday to you! As I put together Scrolls each week, I usually have a favorite section, one that tugged at me a little more than the others. This week it's the links at the end. So...
If you need a boost to power you through the start of the week ahead, I hope you'll find it here. We have a round-up of some of our favorite treats and try-ons to share with you today: this week's read was such a good one that I know you'll read in record time,...
Have you tried re-phrasing "I have to" to "I get to"? We've been working on that with Grey this week (us too ?) and it has been such a gratitude swap. Instead of "I have to exercise this morning", try, "I get to exercise this morning", and take one extra second to...
How are you today? I am coming off a pretty down day yesterday, and I woke up bound and determined to change the story this morning. I allowed myself to get sucked into a news overload - engrossed by the stories on the anniversary of September 11th, coupled with...
Long weekends feel like such a gift! And at this very moment, the house is still quiet, and I feel thankful to be poring over all of our favorite finds of the week together. We've been on a big smoothie bowl streak in casa de NixonPack, having fun getting creative...
