EVERYDAY IS AN ADVENTURE

As life moves along we find ourselves juggling professional jobs, owning a home, and learning how to parent with keeping our priorities straight and living what we believe. Our idea of adventure has shifted from scaling mountains and traveling the world to realizing it is more about an expression of your heart's intention and passion for life. Adventure is the ability to think big about who you are, how you live, and what you can do in the world. In the midst of life moving at a rapid pace, here is our attempt at infusing each day, each project, and each relationship with intention, focus, and humor. Let's see how it goes...

This happened today! It was so fun and exciting! Ani is only 2 1/2, she isn't even potty trained yet. I had a blast out there with the kids watching them ride bikes. Now if the only the weather would shape up, it seems everyone wants to be outside all the time riding bikes.

A Friday night at home, my husband, and a bottle of wine. A formula for fun and a headache the next day. It's nice to actually have an uninterrupted conversation with that guy a married.

I'll be the first to admit that days spend at home with the kids are rarely described by me as fun, but today was. The kids played "super hero" and chanced me around the house. It's fun to watch them use their imaginations.

I have gone down the rabbit hole of resources. One good books leads to another. I have been enjoying all of the inspiring and informative books that are pointing me towards my Dharma.

3.25.2014


A 50 degree day is cause for celebration! We spent the entire day outside in the backyard and riding bikes around the block. I even managed to read a book for bit while the kids played.

3.24.2014




I guess the kids are recovering from vacation...I got to sleep until 8am this morning!

3.23.2014




Yet another outdoor outing! I guess it takes being cooped up all winter to absolutely love being outside. Now that Bloom is riding his bike we (the adults) get to have a little more fun too. This time we took our long boards our and rode at the Green Belt.

I am so grateful for having a handy husband. He has transformed our home and yard and today he helps with yet another project at the studio. I officially have an office!

A MUCH NEEDED VACATION begins today!

3.13.2014




Lindsey, Brandon, and Jude's last day in Laramie. Lindsey and I snuck away for a yoga class together. We probably scared the whole room of people with our sobs through and after class. I cherish the few moments we had hugging and crying.

3.12.2014





Savoring some last cuddles with Jude while she is still a tiny bug! I will miss watching her grow daily but feel fortunate I was able to spend the first few months of her life together.

3.11.2014

Tonight was our last of the many, many dinners we have shared together with our great friends. Of course there will be more dinners together, but much fewer and farther between. We are blessed to have such awesome friends and will miss them daily.

Moments like these make the long, tiring parenting days worth it.

3.9.2014



A long and transformative weekend of yoga teacher training was brought to a close with decent food and great friends, both old and new (Jillian, Heath, Carly, and Becca). Great conversation and time to unwind.

3.8.2014



An amazing and LONG day at yoga teacher training was ended with a quiet night and a drink. My tired bones feel soothed.

3.7.2014


Sometimes singing helps. All I have to do is channel my inner Ani Difranco and let it out! I am blessed to have such talented, passionate people in my life who give me the opportunity to sing out loud.

3.6.2014



In the times when Bloom and Ani aren't kicking, screaming, or yelling at each other in the car they have started holding hands and pretending to see kangaroos and lions out the window. Such sweet moments!

3.5.2014



Yes it's true. I am grateful for Burger King the only indoor playground in this town. The kids run and play and I read books.

3.4.2014


The kids are at the age where play dates actually mean less work for me! The kids all play so well and keep each other entertained. It is so funny to listen to them play and interact. I even managed to make muffins.

3.3.2014



Tonight bedtime turned into long, drawn out conversation. I am grateful for even hard conversations because they always bring new perspective.

Although the day didn't quite go as planned, I ended up getting to go on TWO snow bike rides with Lindsey. Snow biking was awesome - maybe even awesome enough to make me hate winters a little less! But mostly, it was nourishing to be out on a beautiful day in a beautiful place with a beautiful friend.

3.1.2014



Let the Overstreet weekend commence! This is our last weekend to hang with our best friends before they move away. Tonight pizza and beer. Tomorrow snow biking. We are so blessed to have them in our lives.

2.28.2014



After a long day and a couple of hours at the doctors office, Bloom is finally asleep. Plus, it's the last day of February so everything gets better from here, right?

2.27.2014


Today was the first sunny, semi-tolerable day in awhile. We took advantage of it. It's so fun having Bloom riding a pedal bike. I threw Ani in a stroller (which she loved) and jogged next to Bloom while her rode. Then we did some exploring and snacking by the river. A glimpse of how great the summer will be!
