Love this time of year - a great Texas tradition!

I took this photo visiting the state fair in 2025 and captured this adorable moment - submitted in the B/W State Fair theme photography category

Shared AI inspiration with the baker to hit the 90s theme - they suggested the colors and it turned out great!!! Panini Bakery & Cakes in Dallas, TX - it’s so delicious

35F here (5ft 11) - last year was a DOOZY.

Went through IVF and have some…great stretch marks. Got pregnant, lost the pregnancy at 11 weeks, and it took a couple of months to get out of the funk. It didn’t help that friends and family sent me a bunch of cookies…throw a girl a rotisserie chicken every once a while plz

I have endometriosis + PCOS / PMOD. I did start GLP1s in February, on a relatively low dosage via Noom to track my calories. I also started weight training pretty heavily and increasing my workouts weekly (I’ve always been a little more Brienne of Tarth coded versus model thin energy). I’ve tried to keep protein up with daily lattes and/ or a protein shake for lunch.

I’m about 20 pounds away from my goal weight (170-175 range), but I’m really proud of my progress. I’ve noticed my energy is better, confidence is back, and I just feel stronger. Definitely positive impacts to the depression and anxiety, and the GLP1s have helped with inflammation. Goal was to use this year to get healthy and revisit IVF in 2027 at a much healthier baseline.

With a hint of side eye

My sister has played and peer pressured me into it…plus it was on sale (for our sail).

I was trying to get a shot of this big bumblebee on a zinnia in my garden…then WHAM attack from honeybee. Shocked it came out so clear, just on my iPhone.

Zone 8b, planted July 2023 and coming back stronger than ever!!! I love these summer months

Planted seeds last year, and this guy decided to come back and THRIVE. Zone 8b

New to the switch life - but we are loving the ability to travel with this thing.
