We are throwing an engagement party I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT this weekend. It’s going to be fancy and I am excited about every bit of it, not the least of which is celebrating some of our best friends’ engagement. I get to do last minute errands tonight, and set up the house, all of…
A gratitude list about the amazing things I love about my husband would be just *too* much for this blog, so I will tell you this: I am grateful that it is SO fun being married. I am grateful that we continue to dream of big lives with so many paths we might travel down.…
Incredibly, our one-year wedding anniversary is coming up this Sunday. Back then, I had big plans to post all my vendors and learnings and wedding-y things on this blog, but I … didn’t. I rode horses through Guatemala instead, I guess. So without shame here are all the amazing vendors I really wanted to recognize…
There are friends that are just soul friends. Friends you’d do anything for, time be damned. I was lucky enough to spend just an afternoon with one of those a week ago, a twin flame I hadn’t seen in person in five years, and it was just magic. Fulfilling, busy, and not enough time. Then…
I am grateful for the ability to be comfortable being uncomfortable. For instance, my latest LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7298488105278287884/ I am also grateful for all the comforts of home: how cozy my house is, how much I love my office, how we have a beautiful dining room table to host dinners and big fluffy couch to…
Happy Valentine’s Day. I love love. I love celebrating love. I do not love Valentine’s Day, but we are having friends over for dinner tonight to celebrate their engagement, so I am thrilled to be celebrating love on this love day! I am coming up on a year married to the love of my life,…
Grateful for the nitty gritty in every day experiences: Sitting outside in the sunshine in a sweater and leggings but barefoot: this is a Texas thing only, methinks. It’s a glorious, fleeting feeling. A brisk walk, just around the block, to get sunshine on my face before I start my day. Cold, crisp, not slow…
Let’s hope this isn’t a harbinger of things to come, but maybe it’s just a new normal? Maybe we’re just more flexible with time overall in 2025 … In the new year, as in every year, I have so much to be grateful for. Like: We hit some good workouts this week, ate well, and…
2025 is undoubtedly going to be surprising. Many of the things that happened late this year in 2024 (NOT peaceful things despite my 2024 word of peace) are setting 2025 up to be a doozy. What will happen?! NO ONE KNOWS! Least of all me! Which is fun and exciting and terrifying and requires a…
The joy of skiing. Sometimes I shock even myself with how much I love skiing. It’s honestly such a pain: layers and special socks and what boots to wear pre- and post- ski boots and layers after ski and how to keep your hair from freezing and hauling all the gear and stuffing your pockets…
