2017 Sibling Bluebonnets

This year the Bluebonnets weren’t all that great as compared to other years; at least not in our usual spot, which was disappointing. Add in a hectic schedule, too much sunshine on picture day, and three un-cooperative small children, it’s surprising that I’m actually okay with the photos I was able to snag despite all of the hurdles. I guess… Continue reading 2017 Sibling Bluebonnets

Steele Knights Defeat #1 Ranked Judson!!!

Abhaya. It means fearless in Sanskrit, the language of yoga. And it’s on a necklace that I wear all the time.

It’s summer and this is Texas, and that only means one thing. It is hot. So hot in fact that I woke up to steamed windows at my house this morning and I thought, this is going to be the perfect day to embark on my latest quest! Yesterday, while sunbathing at the pool, I decided… Continue reading TX Hill Country Swimming Holes: Part 1, Blue Hole (Wimberley)

My First Ultramarathon!
