Today I was fortunate enough to venture out to visit another Texas hill country swimming hole, Hamilton Pool (read about Blue Hole and Jacob’s Well here). I was joined by my yoga/running friends Melissa, David and Mike, and it was our second attempt to visit Hamilton Pool as our first reservation was canceled due to… Continue reading TX Hill Country Swimming Holes: Part 3, Hamilton’s Pool (Dripping Springs)
Wow! What a great way to start the 2016 Steele Knight football season with a 37-7 win over San Antonio’s Madison High School! The Knights played a great ball game and we all enjoyed it once that brutal August Texas sun went down during the first quarter. Prior to that, it was probably the hottest I’ve… Continue reading 1st Knight Football Victory of 2016!
It’s what I call Football Eve…those last few days and moments before the first game of the new football season. The excitement, energy, and nerves in the air is almost palpable. It’s the proverbial “calm before the storm.” And as it so happened, tonight was our annual all school outdoor pep rally, “Meet the Knights,”… Continue reading #BeElite
Way back when we were on our Babymoon in Mendocino, CA while preggers with baby #2, (who turned out to be Rex, see belly pic), we wandered into a beautiful wood shop. Yes, this was the trip that Scott un-affectionately referred to as the “the vegan yoga retreat,” because we stayed at an all vegan resort (and… Continue reading Knob Jewelry Holder
Ty Baby is 14 months and then some. What’s funny is that not only do we measure his age in months, but I’m able to tandemly (is that a word?) measure how long I’ve been in survival mode. So yeah, 14 months that I’ve been treading water. And to enhance the visual, it seems like each… Continue reading Ty Ty is 14 months!
Welcome to Part 2 of my 2016 Texas Hill Country Swimming Hole Series (read Part 1 here)! Today my fellow yoga teacher training grad/running friend Melissa and I visited Jacob’s Well. You may remember her from a guest post last year and/or from the New Orleans Marathon earlier this year. Anyhow, like Blue Hole, Jacob’s… Continue reading TX Hill Country Swimming Holes: Part 2, Jacob’s Well (Wimberley)
There’s been a lot of bad things happening in our nation and world lately. And with each horrific headline, I’m brought back to my all time favorite quote, spoken by Mahatma Gandhi: Be the change that you wish to see in the world. These are words that I have chosen to strive to live my life by, and… Continue reading My First Give Away!
Yesterday my blog hit another milestone – 300k views! I just wanted to say thank you for all of the love and support – it’s been fun to share our adventures (and to look back on them because the kids are growing so fast)! In the last year, I added a couple new categories that you’ll see… Continue reading 300,000!
Back in early May, I was hired again by a local marketing company for my second photo shoot, this time with my kiddos (the first one was a yoga photo shoot). It’s crazy to see how much they’ve grown in just three months (especially Ty Baby), and it’s pretty neat to have some candid photos that… Continue reading Mommy & the Kiddos
Earlier this year, I ran my first ultramarathon, a 50k (31 miles), with my friend Christy. It took us a minute or so past exactly 6 hours on a nice, windy spring day. In case you missed it, you can read about it here or listen to my podcast interview about it here (link in the post). Looking… Continue reading I’m Going to Run 50 Miles!
