Nashville is an awesome town, and the group of girls I stormed it with even better. Nashville as a trip was completely unexpected—when someone asks if I want to go somewhere I’ve never been with people I mostly don’t know but it’s pretty cheap and already planned, I will always say yes. So I had…
Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad of all time. Buy his latest book here. All of last weekend was great, from volleyball and yoga to south Austin bars to climbing and swimming at the Greenbelt to Austin Winery and family dinner, plus floating in my cowboy pool and reading in my hammock. It was…
Happy Birthday, Childhood Bestie! You’re an incredible leader, friend, and kitten mama! Regymen Grove opened! 45-minute summer HIIT workouts here I come … love it and hate it but mostly hate it. Girls catch up Monday night with a sister stop by! Wednesday open play volleyball and Oakmont Honeymoon Spirit Lounge with a friend of…
[author’s note: I am posting this unedited; written 4/23/21 // and then I never finished it because I flew to Costa Rica and tried to go off the grid as much as possible. But it’s so … happy! So I’m publishing it before publishing this week’s FGF.] I am starting this list on a feel…
Like I wrote last week, it’s been incredible to share my friends’ joys. A couple I love—and set up :::pats self on back:::—got married! And it was storybook perfect, and I’m only happy jealous I didn’t get to be there for it. My trip to the mountains was, indeed, good for my soul. But of…
I woke up this morning in the mountains, and happy. I wrote this post on Thursday intending to publish it on Friday, but alas! A Friday afternoon wander around Aspen followed by homemade crab leg dinner foiled those plans. Let us confess: on Tuesday of this week, I had an absolute breakdown. I felt rejected…
When I moved away from Austin, it was noticeable when the airport that felt like home changed: first to Aspen, then to John Wayne. And even when I moved back, it took a bit for ABIA to feel like home. But now it does, again. Still, grateful for my amazing trip to OC to celebrate…
I love a stormy beach—the rain, thunder, and weather with crashing waves is just as gorgeous as a 70-and-sunny blue-sky day, in its own way. Particularly in contrast. Fitting, then, that as I reflect on the past week as I compose this gratitude list, we’re sitting at a stormy beach in Texas. First, it should…
I think this is a lucky Friday the Thirteenth. Working backawards, it’s been an awesome, insane, busy week but there are so many good things I am grateful for: Nali’s health!! A infection revealed another cancer scare, but after a few worrisome days, thankfully no cancer. Girls Night Disguised as Book Club … man I…
Grateful for an awesome faux-Bird Gang weekend that included an epic Halloween, lots of hot cowgirl pooling, and a ton of love and affection from friends that are family. Patio party with my parents, onesie board game night, many Oakmont meals—I’m making it my local dangit!, shameless self-promotion of the podcast, and football Sunday amped…
