I’m super tired after our weekend trip to Corpus Christi to visit the USS Lexington. I’m now in need of a weekend to recover from my weekend. . . . #corpuschristi #texas #usslexington #weekend #adventure #travel #nofilter (at USS Lexington Museum On The Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKToL4n3HU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s27g0xnw5qba

#tbt #Oregon in 2016, #Hawaii in 2017, & #Pittsburgh in #2018. On one hand I miss the travel and on the other hand it’s so good to be home with my kids and not gone half the time. . . . #travel #businesstravel #homesweethome #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCSd1Mnfk1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9radh0ofx736

First hike of 2019 in the books. I’ve been itching to get on a trail for weeks now. Today was the first time I’ve had a chance where both the weather and my allergies weren’t in the way. . . . . #hiking #outdoors #atx #wildbasin #sundayfunday #nofilter (at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUDQN9HYwt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=65rrssmqquvf

Made it to #CG two nights in a row! Despite the cold rain last night and the just plain cold tonight. . . . #campgladiator #cgfit #workout (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMxDGhnwyu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=42jgpbgr85ps

We had a fun night last night at #trailoflights and I got this cool pic. For once my phone camera cooperated at night. . . . #atx #Christmas #holidayfun #familyfun #skyline (at Barton Springs/Zilker park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BryEU2jnMTO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cvi25hotwjzz

I’m that mom that knows well in advance about the museum report and when it’s due and has all the intention of getting it done early. Yet somehow we end up running to the museum on the weekend before it’s due. 🤦‍♀️ . . . #museumreport #momfail #BullockMuseum #museum #saturdayfun (at Bullock Texas State History Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJyQ4snQYj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nt9q9my5bte8

I’ve been very bad about getting back on track with my writing since my travel job ended. I figured November was the perfect time to jump start a better routine. Every night before bed in November I worked on my #NaNoWriMo project. At one point my very exasperated 9yo asked why I had to write every night. My response was that I didn’t have to, but I wanted to. By the end of the month he started writing his own story. ❤️ . . . #NaNo2018 #amwriting #writer #kids #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6NU_InCAY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gqd0dh2j04b1

The 8yo made us popovers for breakfast from his new subscription box, @kidstir. We’re loving it. He gets to cook and we get to eat his food. lol . . . #kidstir #homesweethome #saturdayfunday #subscriptionbox (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoVHY8mF1Bc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1veh2ym71ucec

Today is all about writing. I finally had time today to start rewriting a chapter that has been giving me a lot of grief lately. I can only hope when I read it next I don’t feel like it’s a complete disaster like before. The goal is to have it ready by the next critique meeting. . . . #amwriting #writerproblems #critiquegroup #scbwi (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhaT9uFvro/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19jqgxc2y2fhx

My #tbt is from just last week since I completely forgot to post it then. So it’s also a #lategram. My mom, both my kids, and I finally made it to Waco to see everything Magnolia related. . . . #magnoliamarket #magnoliabakery #magnoliatable #waco #familyfunday #texas (at The Silos, Waco Tx)

Finally! Last time i tried to see the Liberty Bell the Center was closed and we had to see it through a window and couldn’t see the crack. . . . #libertybell #travel #weekendfun #philadelphia #pennsylvania #libertybell (at Liberty Bell)

It’s been fun Topeka, KS. Last business trip on this contract is complete. . . . . #travel #businesstrip #adventure #topeka #kansas #capitol (at Kansas State Capitol)

It took close to an hour of wandering around a cemetery in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, but I eventually found my great-great-grandmother’s grave. She wasn’t on the registry at the front of the cemetery, because seriously how could they know her great-great-granddaughter from Texas would show up looking for her. . . . . #travel #roadtrip #adventure #genealogy #nebraska (at Wisner, Nebraska)

So far Iowa has my favorite State Capitol building. . . . . #travel #roadtrip #businesstrip #sundayfunday #iowa #statecapitol #explore #adventure #desmoines #nofilter (at Iowa State Capitol)
