Sleep Consistency Matters.

by

what greets me in the wee hours of the morn <3 We've previously established I sleep like a toddler. I've bravely asserted I'm not sleep deprived!! and can easily continue my wonky ways for a few more years. I'm up at 4 each morning and sound asleep by 10. When asked (I am repeatedly) and I share my sleep-pattern the most common response is: Wait, but you're not up around 4 am on ... Continue Reading

There’s beauty in being stuck (guest post).

by

There’s beauty in being stuck. I promise you this. It’s the season of New Years Resolutions, gym memberships, detoxes and ‘this year I am going to…’ I am ALL for change. I think we have this new beautiful chance in a year (and really every day) to make a new a part of our lives which can catapult us or bring us down to where we’ve always wanted to be. But so many of us don’t do ... Continue Reading

Creating a Fitness Mission Statement.

my form of fitness. I believe in the power of intention. I look to my vision board as a source of motivation and inspiration. I turn to my gratitude board as a reminder of what I'm thankful for.

JWalking Designs Running Kilts.

by

fantastic treats contained inside. Before we get started I need to take care of some legal business. JWalking Designs sent the running kilts featured below. The opinions, however, are all mine, the child's, the Doodle's, and the Husband's. Once upon a time I was a blogger who did lots of product reviews. It felt fun. I felt fancy! The Child felt important! The house ... Continue Reading

My Safe Person Is My Lighthouse (guest post).

by

I love lighthouses. I have Alex and Ani Lighthouse charms, lighthouses scattered throughout my apartment, and various prints and animations of these amazing structures. Growing up, I thought it would be really cool to visit all of the lighthouses on the eastern seaboard of the United States. And then I realized that was a huge undertaking, (I was 16) so I planned it state by state. At ... Continue Reading

Be a Shamash.

by

Carla as Shamash . We've been back living in Austin for 365+ days. It's been a year (!) since the Child and I had our big talk about making new friends and what do to when you can't find a nice person to hang out with. It's flown. It's been fun. That said, it also reminds me of what I've written before with regards to fully living in our bodies versus merely going through the motions ... Continue Reading

3 feelings I desire for 2016.

by

(not a 2106 goal-feeling) Sometimes the internet is like a game of telephone. Someone reads an article and they tell 2 friends. And they tell 2 friends. And so on (please tell me you remember this?). And, by the time the gist of the article is relayed to me, no one remembers either who initially shared or, more often than not, the true specifics of the piece. My most recent experience ...

4 reasons I advocate nighttime snacking.

by

Casual snacking. I recently heard the statistic SIXTEEN PERCENT of us eat or drink while watching television at night. Yep. That's me. I may be a mindful eater, but you'll always find Charming and me snuggled on the couch at night with snacks alongside us. Million Dollar Listing? Brooklyn 99? Grace and Frankie? my eyeballs may be feasting on them but my mouth is always otherwise ... Continue Reading

This is my favorite photo of my friend, Sue. Captured mid-laugh, unaware photo was taken, doing the double hand grab. (Ive absolutely no idea why I'm wearing that expression.) The you matter to me. I'm present with you. double hand grab is a perfect metaphor for Sue's life. The first time we met I was newly a Texan, completely friend-free and trying to find where I fit in the land of BBQ ...
