Texas

First hike of the season. Just a short 2 mile walk to dip our toes in the lake, but the perfect distance for an intro hike with baby. These two were so excited to get their packs out and hit the trail – we could barely keep up with them. P.S. The unprompted handholding… I…

It’s not an Instagram-perfect picture and I’m realizing that everyone needs bang trims, but I *finally* got a picture of all 4 girls together…it only took 3 months… Considering that Vivienne was born right before the holidays and the all the craziness that was happening in our business post New Year’s, I’d say I did…

Itty bitty, littlest girl is 3 months old today. The last month has been hard, I’m not going to lie. I started back to work after New Year’s just in time to help the team wrap up one of the biggest projects we worked on in 2019. I’m working from home and Vivi is with…

Gigi and Tito (aka Grandma and Grandpa) got these girls a swing set for Christmas and they could not be happier. Also, it’s 70 degrees out which is pretty amazing for a quiet Sunday at home.  

My work buddy seems to think writing SEO and PPC strategy reports is boring. I don’t know why…

This photo was my Facebook memory from 7 years ago: one of the last photos I took of our tiny island home before we moved back to landlocked America. For three years we lived on Nantucket, and my love for that island 30 miles out to sea hasn’t diminished one bit in the days, weeks,…

Vivi is 2 months old today. Still rocking her newborn clothes at 8lbs 8oz and 21 inches long, although her hands actually stick out of the sleeves now.  

My mom, Amy, has made all the girls baby quilts and today, Vivi’s arrived in the mail! I can’t get over the cute little turtles. ♥️ Swipe for some super adorable smiles caught on camera and the beginning of some rolly-polly back arches.

The best thing about tiny babies is that you can take them to work with you! Chris and I run a meetup in Austin for @roadwarriorwp on the first Tuesdayof the month called Austin Food Marketing. Partly it’s for marketing purposes and connecting with food brands as potential clients, but mostly it’s just because I…
