Last night the Steele Knights had another great game, defeating the Wagner Thunderbirds 31-7 on their turf, giving the Knights their third district win (out of three). We had a blast, enjoying the beautiful weather and awesome talent on the field! And I am so fortunate to have so many wonderful sitters to help me with… Continue reading Steele Knights Do it Again!
10-6-10. I can’t believe it’s been four years already since I said goodbye to my dad. I wish he could meet our adorable little ones; he would have been such a proud grandfather. But today I celebrate his life and reflect on my treasured memories and photos of him, and tell Landri and Rex stories… Continue reading Celebrating My Dad Today!
It’s been a few years since our hometown rivals had a matchup, and last night we revisited that tradition as we played Clemens in our second district game of the season. The Knights shut out the Buffaloes, 31-0, and played another great game! It was an extra special night for us as not only were Rex’s and… Continue reading Battle of 3009!
As a former swimmer, water polo player, swim coach and instructor, lifeguard, and lover of the water whether it be a pool, a river, a lake, a pond, or an ocean, water safety is something that I take very, very seriously. During the course of my life, I’ve known several people to drown, one of whom was a (swim)… Continue reading WATCH: Landri Has Impressive Water Survival Skills (age 2)!
Well, peeps, over the weekend we hit 100,000 views on the blog!

I’m relieved to say that the Steele Knights beat the Smithson Valley Rangers last night on Ranger turf, 31-20. While I am super proud of the players and coaches for coming back from a 20 point deficit in the first quarter, I am also proud that *I* survived the game, not only myself, but also Landri… Continue reading Knights Win & 5K in Memory of My Dad!
Today, on Scott’s 34th birthday, he and the Steele Knights are featured on the front page of the NEW YORK TIMES! Super exciting and extra special that it’s on his birthday!

So I’m on a roll lately getting Landri to actually eat her healthy dinners! The key has been to involve her in the process of making them – it’s totally created “buy-in” for her and she loves being a part of it! Who knows if this will stick or work for your toddlers, but so… Continue reading Trick Your Toddler
What a game, what a game, what a game! As I was leaving the new Baylor McLane football stadium tonight (last night, LOL!) I heard someone say, “Now THAT was a Texas high school football game.” And it truly was. Words cannot describe what just went down in Waco, TX. The tenacity and pure heart that the… Continue reading What a Game!
It’s been a while since I posted something under my “Crafty Crafts” category! Recently I’ve been working on some homemade yoga mat straps and even a “bag!” They have turned out pretty well, although I’m still tweaking the patterns slightly to get them exactly where I want them to be. For example, the strap pattern… Continue reading Yoga Crafts!
