A successful 5-hr drive from the bff’s house to our home. #TroubletheDog enjoyed herself and was a great co-pilot! #bestfurfriend #roadtrip #Coppell2Boerne #DontMessWithTexas https://www.instagram.com/p/CS27i5yjU8e/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last-minute trips and early birthday gifts are what BFFs are all about. I mean, could my hammock be any more colorful?! Then again, could I be wearing the perfect shirt and socks to match such an awesome gift?! #taosskivalley #bfftrip #hammock #tiedie #funtimes #loveit (at Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRiFNrpMHS-/?utm_medium=tumblr

When I told my mom that I was putting together @lego sets as a new way to #destress and #unplug from the digital world, she said, “I would like to try.” So we sat there for a while and we worked on part of one together today. It was a nice moment where we bit just sat down, chatted, and laughed about the complexity of visual instructions. An awesome #mothersday!
