It’s a billion degrees outside. The only things to do are online shop and stream shows, while daydreaming about travels and hikes and workouts and cool evenings and all the things you might do if you didn’t live in the blinding heat that is summer in Austin, Texas. Do All The Things The Summer I…
I need to confess: I saw Top Gun Maverick for the third time on Father’s Day. I loved it as much as I did the first two times. I also love sharing it with my dad, again, and my first-time-father-brother! Like so many of Nali’s weeks lately, this one was up and down. We’re on…
It’s been six months my achilles repair surgery of a complete rupture. I’m exceptionally grateful to my surgeon Dr. Andreo and my incredible PT team at Mondo Sports Therapy, Katie and Justin are the absolute best. I’m running sprints at 90% bodyweight (on an alter-g treadmill), jumping laterally onto and off of a 20″ box,…

Happy happy birthday to the best Mama!! After a whirlwind Memorial Day weekend, last weekend was a welcome “slow down” with seeing Top Gun Maverick again this time on IMAX still love it!

A long weekend stretches before us, with boats and lakehouses and pool parties looming like the Texas sun—that is, coming in hot and slightly terrifying with its intensity. I was so excited. But today is just not a good day. Nali isn’t doing well. I’m not doing well. I spent the morning cleaning up poop…
Because I’m a little grumpy this morning, trying to figure out how NOT to live in a state of constant stress, fit in all the things I want to do, and nurture relationships that are all important to me. Easy like Monday morning, right? So that’s what gratitude lists are for, and it doesn’t matter…
Dammit Fridays get away from me, don’t they? This work week has been wild. The things I’ve seen/heard/witnessed this week … let’s just say I cannot be happier that it’s the weekend, coming off my second night in a row where I promise myself I have to be done working before it’s dark (also mainly…
“You’ve got a swagger you didn’t have before …” one of my football teammates said to me when I showed up to cheer them on. Maybe I do. Despite my frustrations with my achilles—yes, teammate is right, I am ahead of schedule but I am still SO FAR from playing—I am doing SO well. People…
It is gorgeous outside. I am going there as soon as I finish typing this gratitude list. I might make this list shorter than I intended to in order to get there faster. I got to ride my bike! 20 mins, easy peasy, but thrilling: the air on my skin! The wind in my hair!…
