True story…If you sit down and talk to me you’ll find I’m an open book. I’m an extravert, but the older I get I’m turning into an introverted extrovert. I love to stay cozy at home when I’m not traveling with my husband or visiting my 3 kids and 5 grandkids. You’ll also usually find me in biker shorts, a Bu-cee’s t-shirt, with my naturally curly hair on top of my head in a cheetah scrunchie just baking in my kitchen. That’s the truth. I started this blog with a different name years ago as a lifestyle blogger, but most of my content is cooking or baking related, so I decided to start fresh with a new name and blog called The Bluebonnet Kitchen. Although the majority of the content here on my blog will be directly from my kitchen, feel free to follow me on my Social profiles where l share not only my recipes but all the things I love to do like travel, sing, craft, sew and visit Disney. I’m a crafty girl! 
Something interesting you may not know about me is that I was a professional Country Music Artist for 6 years in the great state of Texas, WAY back in the day when my kids were in elementary school. But after really considering my life at a major crossroads through that journey, I chose what I like to think of as “the higher road”, to be a stay-at-home mom and raise my three young kids. Music was my second dream…they were my first. Looking back I still don’t regret that very difficult and hard decision to stop my singing career so many years ago. They are still my world and my heart so many years later. Now I’m a “Yah Yah” to 5 beautiful grandkids and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made to be present in my kids and grandkids life. I do continue to sing and inspire others through music at home and at church. You can hear me sing on my YouTube channel because I literally dedicated a YEAR of singing there every Sunday for my mama who has always been my inspiration. I’ve also music directed many community and high school musicals and taught personal voice lessons in my past, but now just enjoy sitting at my piano to unwind. I happen to have two of my three kids in the “industry”. My son, Wade and my youngest daughter, Krista are both professional actors/singers and my middle child, Leanna, is a a professional photographer and multi-media artist. So, you could say, it’s really never left me… I just use that part of my life in a different way.
Family is everything to me. I’m one proud mama, and yah yah. So, welcome to my blog and I hope you’ll always feel inspired and that you will fall in love with cooking and baking just like me.
FACTS: I love all things DISNEY. I prefer WDW over DL but I’ll go to either any day. My favorite food is a great grilled steak and potato or Fajita and chips/queso. I also love sweets. You’ll never find a sweeter sweet tooth in the world. Chocolate over vanilla and I love the TX brand Bluebell ice cream. I love dogs over cats, (mostly because I’m allergic) but don’t have any pets at the moment. My daughters dog is my favorite dog in the world. He’s a mini red dachshund named Hansel. He lived with us for years but now is back with his mama and I’m just glad I can still visit my Hansie Boy.
My favorite place to travel to is PARIS FRANCE. The most beautiful place I’ve traveled besides France was New Zealand. My husband and I love to travel to Puerto Rico once a year (if our schedules allow) and we aren’t fond of cruising.
I’m obsessed with my kids and grandkids and just wish we lived right next door to all of them. They are my “why” and the reason I’m documenting my life here. Hopefully I’ll leave a mark for them.
