San Francisco – My favorite photos of the city

Ocean_Beach_Seawall

Ocean Beach Seawall. This is a collection of my favorite photos from my recent trip to San Francisco. Of course, seeing the Golden Gate Bridge was one of my main reasons for traveling to SF in the first place…and you can see my photos of it HERE, but this post features photos of all the other things I fell in love with in the city. Outer Sunset. Oh San Fran, I’ll make it back to you one day…I swear it. {Read More}

Well, just when I thought there could not possibly be another fabulously fun 5k experience, I found out about the Neon Splash Dash coming to Houston on March 23rd!

San Francisco – Golden Gate Bridge Photos

Golden_Gate_Bridge_through_trees

I returned home from San Francisco last Monday feeling a little blue. The entire time I was there it was as you see in the photo above. Sunny, clear, and spectacular. When I arrived in Houston it was cold, wet, and gray…and that didn’t sit very well with me. But there was something else too. Even in the very short amount of time I spent in SF, I began to feel deeply connected to it. Almost as if I had {Read More}

Online Shopping just got better thanks to Coupons at Checkout

Logo

If you’re like me, you probably shop online because it saves you time and money…not to mention you can do it in your jammies and no one will ever know! But one thing that really drives me crazy about online shopping is that sometimes I’ll find myself on a wild goose chase for a coupon code to add to my order. Before I know it, I’m frustrated and angry because I’ve spent valuable time looking up codes that don’t work {Read More}

Headed for the Golden Gate

Golden-Gate-Bridge-after-sunset

On Friday I’m headed off to San Francisco for the very first time. This is another item I’m SUPER excited to check off of My Life List. I’ll be spending 3 days (which, from what I understand is not nearly enough to see this amazing city) with the fabulous Esther, and I simply cannot wait! So tell me, what things do you love about San Fran? What things are MUST DO’s for you? What restaurants should visit? I’d appreciate any {Read More}

Color in Motion 5k Houston, In Photos

Color_in_Motion5k_Color_Throw_Houston

Yesterday, Jackson and I had an absolute blast as we ran in the Color in Motion 5k at Reliant Park. Though VERY messy, it was such a unique and incredible experience for me. Jackson loved the colored powders most of all, though at times he seemed confused as to why being messy was suddenly so acceptable…when normally we immediately clean up when dirty. One amazing thing about the time we had at this 5k was that even though this event {Read More}

An Update on all things Jackson #autism

Jackson_runs_2013

Taken at our most recent portrait session. It’s hard to believe it, but Jackson will turn 6 this August. I honestly don’t know where the time goes! These days we are very busy, because in addition to Jackson being in school full time now, he also does therapy after school 2 days a week (we are hoping to eventually bump this up to 3 days!). We have been lucky to find the MOST AMAZING place for therapy ever, and I {Read More}
