Did all these things really happen in only one week?! Life is moving so fast. And I love it. I am grateful for: Mama’s visit Beautiful baby shower for one of my Aspen girls New football team(s) Impromptu patio hangs Weekend best friends Sharing wine at Mint Leaf Group texts with mom & trainer Sunday…
Business school is coming to an end … my cohort of the Smartly EMBA program (info here) had our final Washington weekend, and it was even better than the first (though came with less existential questions, thank goodness). I LOVE this photo, because we didn’t intentionally plan to be in the EXACT same spots as…
In this week of loooooove, I am so grateful for all of the loves in my life. So many loves! So many third wheels, so many close friends (even weekend ones!), so much amazing family. I’m in Aspen, where I love and am loved by some of the people pictured, but there’s also something special…
Say your weekend goes like this: your temporary adult roommate co-works with you all day at your patio table. Y’all hit up a yoga class, then decide to go for a quick dinner after showering. You have a glass or 3 of shower wine, and then a to-go cup and head to Dory Deli. You…
We are the friends-as-family generation, and that’s never more clear than Sunday mornings as friends come together for sports, sun, and fun. One of my favorite things is when the extended families come, usually from out of town—the moms and dads that some of us have already become, who created the teammates, travelers, shenanigan enthusiasts…
I’ve written a lot about learning or remembering to accept unconditional love, ahem, unconditionally. (Here are a few stories from dailyhap: Smelly Travel Can Open Up a Heart, How I Got Back to Being Me Through Friendship, and A Cab to the Airport) But this past weekend and week was a welcome reminder of just…
The chain of events leading me to going to Breckenridge RIGHT NOW is a convoluted one at best. It involves an amazing crashing of circumstances that include but are not limited to an office desk eviction, a different planned last minute ski trip, airline miles that aren’t mine, an air mattress packed in my ski…
Y’all, Austin is still Austin. Thank god. This has been my longest return home since I lived in Austin full-time, and I’m startled, relieved, thrilled to find out that fundamentally Austin is still Austin. I thought I didn’t know it, but I do. I know the people, the friendly waves, the gravelly sands of Town…
Nali, Mom, and I are road trippin’ right now (presumably). We’re making the 20-hour+ trek so that I can bring my nervous lil pup back to Texas for two weeks! (follow along on insta stories for the hilarity…) Leaving behind my home even for a couple weeks, here are the things I’ll most miss: Sundays!…
What a freakin’ pub golf crawl! It was so much freakin’ fun, and went off without a hitch. First, we played sports. Then, we ate Crow Burger. Then, six of us got ready together like a damn coed sorority fraternity and that alone was hilarious. Brick and Brock. Name a more iconic duo … I’ll…
