Texas

Throwback to last winter before we got an office for @roadwarriorwp, this was what our work setup looked like – Chris and me across from each other at our dinette with a baby either crawling around or fast asleep in arms. This is actually a shot from our #GoingRV episode and totally not staged…you can…

Saddest discovery…there is a bird’s nest with a baby in it in our bumper. It’s so tiny, without any feathers and no open eyes, and we’re moving the trailer on Sunday. Chris is going to attempt to move it before we hitch up, but I’m sure that Mama won’t feed it anymore after that. Anyone…

It doesn’t get more Texas than decorating your sandcastle with bluebonnets. In case you missed my story, we spent Sunday at the lake with Chris’ mom and extended family. It was the perfect last family day before we head out for our trip (less than two weeks!). . . . . . . #texas #beach…

Today is Chris and my 12th anniversary, which means we’ve been together for more than 15 years. We don’t typically do much to celebrate our anniversary and we only give each other gifts on the 5 year anniversaries, so it was a pretty low-key day as far as “personal holidays” go. We actually ended up…

Three more days of school next week and we’ll have a 5th grader! I barely know how that is possible.  

Yesterday I drove down to Bastrop, Texas to give a talk on the social media marketing landscape in 2019 for the @bastropchamberofcommerce. I always love giving talks, but this one was especially fun because I went live for a minute or two right in the middle of the talk on our Instagram account for @roadwarriorwp.…

Outtake from our mothers day photos with the girls that I just L-O-V-E. Trying to bribe Addie into participating with bubbles. These three make me smile so much. Now the biggest question…will baby #4 be our fourth girl or will a little boy come along to shake up the status quo?  

Y’all, laundry is my nemesis. As I’m up late folding at 11:15 PM, I keep wondering, how it is that in a house it seems like laundry goes on and on in never-ending piles, but when we lived in our travel trailer we could get away with going to the laundromat every two weeks? Granted,…

Rainy, humid Saturday=library morning. I used to take Nora to the library every week. It was easy on Nantucket when we could walk and I was a stay-at-home mom. In Wyoming and Colorado, we frequented the library, but it was more like once every couple of weeks. Since moving to Texas we’ve barely gone –…

We went tent camping the weekend before last with friends and while the first night was camping in the rain (severe thunderstorms – I posted a story with the lightening from inside our tent), the second day turned out nice enough to spend hours at the beach on Lake Georgetown and it made me seriously…

Addie’s official 2 year old photo. It’s really hard to get a 2 year old to pose for pictures so we bribed her with bubbles. I cannot believe how much Addie has grown in the last year, in no small part thanks to her wonderful teacher and sweet Montessori classroom. It’s been hard sending her…

Today I had a wonderful Mother’s Day, with 4 reasons to celebrate the day. Yes, we might be crazy…because we’re officially making the jump into big family territory and being doubly out numbered. Baby #4 is due in November, giving us an extra little someone to be thankful for. . . . . . .…
