finally Friday

DD just celebrated his official 3rd birthday on Monday. I can't believe my babies are 3 and 4 now! DD still has a bit of baby about him but JJ is all little boy these days. I still seriously adore these 2 little boys.

I broke down and bought these mini Project Life kits at -gasp- full price because I really want the Amy Tan kit and buying more would get me free shipping. 

Happy Spring! We are still adjusting to the time change, but are really enjoying the longer days. 

This week has felt especially long and I am super thankful for a long weekend. Enjoy yours!

finally Friday

Another week down. This time change has done a number on our sleep schedule. Still looking for some inspiration. But in the meantime, we still live and love and do what we can.

good to the last drop

Still got my coffee addiction going strong. I guess there could be worse things...

good for the soul

Even though Saturday was a working one, this weekend has been great so far.

On Friday night, we went to dinner with E&R to Oxheart, a new-ish restaurant we've been wanting to check out. They love it and now, so do we!

While we see them almost everyday in practice, having time to chat and catch up and plan is so so nice. I can't imagine our lives without them.

We have another friend, S, who just opened her own yoga studio. And we are so happy for her and our yoga community in general. Houston is such a big city and now we actually have different choices for places to practice ashtanga? Yes, please!

Do not try this at home without adult supervision. 

Our yoga has brought such a diverse group of people together...and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Merry everything

December has seriously flown by. We have less than one week in 2013! I am super thankful to be spending the rest of the year with the ones I love the most.

The old blog has been sorely neglected this year. I am not quite ready to give it up, yet also don't have the commitment to it like I have before. We'll see how it goes, I suppose!

Happy 2014!

TGIF

The old blog has been sorely neglected as of late. When something is a habit, it is easy to do; but once the habit is paused, sometimes getting back into it is hard. Baby steps!

Are you as glad as I am that Friday is finally here? And it's Halloween weekend - we've got some festivities to look forward to over the next week :)

Life lately

October has been a fairly ordinary month. Lots of friends, family, food, fun and of course, yoga always! The temperatures have been pleasant, especially this weekend. I'm thinking I may need some more candy corn...

week in the life

I had the best intentions of documenting the little deets of life with my big camera last week. That lasted all of maybe half to one day? Oh well. I decided in the middle of the week (as I was losing steam taking photos in general) that I wasn't going to do a full album (or add to my already existing WITL album, that is) and just continue with Project Life as normal. That said, I did get a few extra pics. Here's a sample

Saturday

{Yes, we saw Master Chef Christine Ha! Too bad couldn't eat her food - all meat!}

Sunday

Hope you had a great one!

7 days...

We are flying to Nevada next Saturday and returning to the Playa on Sunday for the whole week. Packing outfits for 8 nights in the middle of the desert is more difficult than it seems! I'm not sure if I have enough tutus ;)...

The Man Burns in 14 days! {a.k.a. TMBI14D}

summer vacation, part 3

Vegas, baby!

We stayed at the Encore, which was a fabulous hotel.


Our excuse for the trip? Our friend, let's call him bcb, turned 40 in July but we couldn't all get together until now.


Lots of beers were drank.


A gorgeous bag was bought.


Cool fountains were seen.


More beers...


The cute birthday couple.


The view from the 57th floor of the Encore.


Cheers!


One outfit captured.


Yummy veggie sushi was eaten. (Did you know Steve Wynn is a vegetarian? Cool beans for us!)


The pool was enjoyed.


That's a cool crew.


Photo bomb by the birthday boy.


The last morning. 3 nights in Vegas is more than enough. We returned on Sunday evening and are still in recovery mode.

me, myself and i

The main reason I upgraded to an iPhone 5 was the camera (and its panoramic function, which I don't use nearly enough!). I also wanted more apps without having to worry about the memory getting too full!

I have been participating in a self-portrait-a-day challenge this month, using the "A Beautiful Mess" app.

Although taking a picture of yourself everyday can seem a bit narcissistic, it can also be a way to practice photography without bugging anyone else.

You can experiment with different perspective.

...and lighting

And sometimes you don't even have to hardly be in the photo at all!

I am halfway through the challenge...won't you play along? :)
