Sorry to let everyone that I’ve sold out to Instagram! As much as I love it here and miss writing more than 5 sentences, I feel I have been much more regular at posting on there (small win). If you would like to follow me (and you know I’d like that) join me at chasingyellowcabs. Thank you again for everyone who have been keeping up with me. I appreciate you all 😀

Ahem Hello Everyone!
I am not even sure if anyone still reads stuff on here; I was contemplating moving this to Instagram for a bit as I feel posting from my phone might encourage me to be a semi regular blogger than someone who shows up once a year, so vote on this let me know what you think!? …. 😀
Houston weather has been unreliable to say the least and we’ve had alternating days of shorts and sweatshirts 
Somehow I have this bright idea to do a series on jackets and coats. Humor me please!
Up first, is an ” is winter ever coming ?” outfit with a floral maxi and a boyfriend Denim Jacket. I am hoping to start here and finally end with a coat finale but let’s hope the weather gods cooperate 😛 Happy Monday

I might as well name this section Hi5 anyday! 😛 Moving on…. October is one of my favorite times of the year – the weather turns, halloween decor is up which means you can peer into people’s yards without being judged and the beginning of the holiday season. But this year …. lets just say I will wait for Corona to pass to I can social distance on my own terms 😛 Meanwhile the week that went by!
2. When you cant go out as much, bring the green in!
3. In another edition of things you dont need but want – Here’s our new fruit basket! 😀
4. We visited Dewberry farms this week. We were very skeptical as we had visited another farm two weeks ago only to turn back because the place was packed and people wore no masks. This farm was much better about enforcing masks and they were at lower capacity! Stay safe and wear a mask.
5. Its finally getting cooler, which means at home pho bowls!
Have a wonderful week! 😀

No no you are on the right blog! It’s just that with the pandemic, I spend a lot more time ( read: all) at home and have been working on small projects to not get crazy. Depending on if I can keep up, I may do a regular DIY section 😀
So we had an old and subtly stained (thanks son!) cream Ikea rug which we carted when we moved. Our entryway needed a rug and I did not want to add one more rug to the 1000 we already have in the rug barn that is our home, so I decided to breathe some new life into the old one. I wish I had taken a picture prior to drawing on it but hey hindsight is 20/20. I used fabric markers and kept the pattern simple in line with out southwestern/ boho aesthetic. TA DAA!! One less rug in the landfill.

Is there a thing as a pandemic fashion trend? Indeed. Lounging indoors means wearing things that expand with your post lunch belly. 😛 But what happens when you have to make short trips outside but cannot be bothered with pants and the like? Enter the tee dress – Just like wearing your favorite tee but only better. Post pregnancy and Pandemic 15 certified 😀
Jokes apart: Stay safe stay healthy!

Ahhh….Hi5 Monday, my old trusted friend!! You always come to my rescue when I have too much to write and nothing to write somehow. Let’s jump right in!
2. It was just good to get out. We did a thing and moved into a new place in May ( In the middle of the pandemic with a baby no less. I guess we were convinced we could take on more? ) Anyway bigger home means more space but also more messes and more work. Lawn work somehow is relaxing… FOR NOW!
3. Staying indoors means eating…. lots of it. Deep dish pizza for date night ( on the couch 😛 )
4. Staying indoors also means a lot of online shopping. I highly recommend Ruggable if you have pets, kids or you are a general klutz 😉 No more breakouts when my son decides to smear some marinara on the rug 😀
Have a terrific week ahead and yes one more slice of pizza is allowed 😀

I cannot believe I haven’t written a post in 2 years, but then again looking at the things happening around us, I’d say this is a lot easy to digest. I hope all of you are safe and reasonably sane considering we are still in the midst of a pandemic. I for one am going a bit stir-crazy being cooped up indoors, add a baby( hence the hiatus!?:D) to the mix and BAAAAM- Never a dull moment!Anyway I hope to write once a week, chronicling the stuff I have been up to and trying to justify how maternity leggings,PJs and week-old hair buns never go out of fashion! 😛 I would like to thank all of you’ll who have let me know that I was missed and trust me thats the only reason I have pushed myself to write again despite the boatload of baby laundry that is calling my name 🙂 Welcome back to the 2.0 mom version of chasing yellow cabs – a bit all over the place, and every bit real! 😀

June is almost always the craziest month of the year for me with half a dozen anniversaries, birthdays and what not so I guess I am allowed to go missing! In other news the summer continues to be relentless and I continue to go pantless 😛 Nothing like a cool crinkled cotton skirt that says zero maintenance. I urge you all to join the care- a -damn- party with your wind-mussed hair and liner-smudged eyes but kids do not forget your sunscreen 😀 Happy Friday!

Layering at the height of Indian summer seems like something a fool would do, but hey I am a risk taker, maybe a foolish one? ! 😛 I couldn’t really pass up on this embroidered vest that really adds warmth to my monochrome outfit. Also the pants are linen so I am doing the right thing? ?

It is my be-a-nicer-version-of-yourself day , also known as Friday which is why I chose to feature myself wearing a dress as opposed to the shorts and tee uniform I have been sporting lately 😛 This block printed red-pink version with a relaxed waist line is a favorite to wear to anything that involves eating or posing coyly while thinking of eating. I have wondered one too many times if this was intended to be a maternity dress up but what can I say.. It serves my purpose !? 😀 Enjoy the weekend
