Film Friday: “Yoga” With Two

We made a movie!  A simple one, but hey, something good enough to share for Film Friday, and that is pretty darn exciting.

I enjoyed watching all of our old videos last week after we filmed Nora’s birthday interview and so I decided I might try to do an occasional Film Friday post again.  And, since I’ve been meaning to update my Housewife Challenges now that we are settled in our new, new house in Wyoming, it seems like my yoga challenge was the best place to start with a video.  I once posted a video of me playing at yoga with little Nora and so I thought it would be fun to show what it’s like for me to try to do yoga at home with two kiddos.  Let me tell you, it is hard!  It is hard enough to find time amidst my craziness, but it is even harder to get a decent amount of exercise with one little girl who wants to be held and another who thinks it’me doing yoga is an opportunity for her to get a ride.  This video shows exactly that. 🙂

I love doing yoga with the girls because I want them to be exposed to it, but I’m also starting to feel a little desperate for a real yoga class with grown-up yoga partners. I haven’t done real yoga since the day before Zara was born, and boy do I miss it! I miss the time away during which I could go into myself. I miss the studio community. I miss my wonderful friend, teacher, and inspiration, Caitlin. And I miss the rush after a class when I was sweaty and sore, but high on endorphins. Even as I type this, I can’t help but want yoga even more. I haven’t been able to go yet because of a combination of Zara and Chris’ schedule, but that’s about to change. I think Chris is about to start getting more time off again and Zara is definitely eating more than enough food to survive an hour without me, so I am officially going to recommit myself to my goal of going to class at least once per week.

I’m not certain that I’ll stick with all my other housewife challenges, but this one I’m not willing to give up. Let’s hope I’ll be able to fine a class and instructor I enjoy as much as on Nantucket.

    What a great video! I love the fact that you want the kids to be exposed to yoga. Maybe one day they will want to follow their own yoga path. My kids used to love copying me at home making all those funny shapes with my body that have funny names like downward dog, eagle and camel. Great stuff, keep it up!

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
