Mama’s sissies are in town. They are my aunts and I love them! It’s a family girls weekend, and I couldn’t be more excited. Or grateful. We also got to see my baby cousin who is now 4, which is apparently not baby anymore but I don’t care, because she is the best. And she…
Horses. I love horses. I love to ride but don’t get much of a chance to out here in SoCal. Last weekend in Asheville, we only went on a trail ride and walked and trotted, but it’s still wonderful to be around horses. I have a terrible sense of smell in general, but I LOVE…
This time of year for most of my adolescence, I headed to summer camp. Camp Olympia was, and still is, the most magical place on earth. Camp was a place I thrived, where I felt happiest, safest, most comfortable in my own skin. Camp was where I most fully learned to embrace who I am,…
These are my new computer glasses. I LURVE them. I have never worn glasses in my life, but after reading about how horrible working at a computer all day is for your eyeballs, I felt compelled to save my perfect eyesight with a little blue-light-filtering, magnifying, glare-reducing pair of totally hipster computer glasses. felixgray.com, $95.…
Y’all. Life is crazy and busy and [too] full and stressful and wonderful. I’m so grateful for everything—for the chance to completely escape into the wilderness, to climb thousands on thousands of feet, through rain, hail, sleet, snow, and sunshine, to breathe in the fresh, deep, alpine air, to celebrate love and marriage with my…
hey! this was scheduled to post on Friday! Dangit. Rae Lakes loop. Now. 46 miles in 5 days. That’s where I am, and that’s where I am headed in this picture. #ActuallySheCan tank gifted by the organization. #ActuallySheCan is a campaign, sponsored by Allergan, that aims to foster important dialogue around what modern female empowerment…
I am so grateful for this. For my house on the beach, for my amazing patio, for finding a bunch of beach glass one of my first mornings revisiting the beach I used to call home and am thrilled to walk barefoot along daily once again. This weekend will be full of projects, of building…
And now I remodel it. To a week of work on my new house, thankgodformama, my dad came in to help, and I’m so happy.
This is not even an April Fool’s joke. I really did eat all the casseroles this week. All week. I am digging the casserole. You know what’s annoying? Food prep really makes life a LOT easier. It makes meals foolproof. It saves money. And calories. And it makes me happy. Here are the three recipes…
The best therapy. Banging heavy weights. Snatch, deadlift, power clean. Squat, lunge, press. New job has me doing this less, and I didn’t know how much I needed it until I wasn’t doing it. And I got grouchy. REAL grouchy. Apologies to everyone who ever interacted with me over the past couple of weeks. I’m…
