Being married to this man is a total dream! He truly is my best friend and I’m so thankful to be celebrating 18 years together! He’s pretty crazy about me and I’m pretty crazy about him. He serves our family tirelessly, keeps us laughing with his bad jokes, is always up for an adventure, leads us courageously to follow Jesus, is the best comforter, keeper of our family traditions and has so much belief in me I can hardly understand it. His love for me takes my breath away. And I am so grateful for this life we have built together.

, marrying you was the best decision of my life!

love,
K

Family Wish Day | 2022
Well, that’s a wrap! We had so much fun celebrating our 6th annual Family Wish Day!

Family traditions, especially the kind that are not tied to a holiday, are so grounding to me. They seep into the dna of our family and make a statement about who we are. They create space to learn one another, love one another and create the kind of memories that speak louder than the hard times. Having fun together is so bonding and this year was no exception.

What traditions do you hold dear?

I feel so much tension in the messaging of body positivity and pursuing health. I feel like it’s easy to see it as one or the other. You are either on the side of accepting your body, or pursuing health and fitness. But that hasn’t been my story.

My story has been in the “and”. Coming to a place of being positive about the body I have today AND choosing to contend for my physical health. There’s so much beauty in that space. 2 years ago I found a program that coached me in that “and”. It gave me the tools I needed for a healthy mindset AND tools to help me pursue physical health. I finally knew how to fuel my body in a healthy but targeted way and not from a place of wanting to be a certain size, but instead from a place of wanting to feel good and live a life of freedom, energy and abundance.

This past year I’ve been coaching this same program and it’s been so fun to watch my clients contend for their health in a balanced way. Looking for change in your health? Let me know. I’d love to help you decide if this is a good fit for you and cheer you on towards your goals! I’ve got space for 10 new clients who want to kick off in March. Maybe one of those spots is for you!

Yesterday we celebrated you turning 13!

Dude. You are officially a teenager. I remember when you were two wondering what life would be like when you were this age. At two, you weren’t so sure about me yet. Although you were BFF with Camp already and adored your dad, it would be a while before we would be close. I was unsure what the future would hold but dreamed of what it could be.

E, I love you so much man and I am so proud of who you are. Our relationship may have been a slow burn at first, but since then I know I quickly became your favorite. 😉

I love who God has made you and see the man you are becoming.

- you are such a good brother. Like crazy good.

- you put your heart into every detail of things (and people) that matter to you.

- you love instruction manuals. And as much as I get a kick out of that, I know it’s because you love understanding how things work. That’s so valuable.

- you are adventure seeking. You love trying new things and are up for anything. Bonus points if it scares you a bit.

- you are loyal. Whether it’s is your friends or family, you stick with them, have their back and see the best in them.

I’m soaking up this season with you as I long to remember it all. These days move so dang fast but being your mom is one of my very favorite things so I want to slow down and savor it. God is writing a story with your life E that will no doubt impact the lives of many. I am so grateful to get a front row seat to it all. I love you man.

Happy Birthday E!

Love, Mom

Our family Christmas present this year was a new puppy! We have missed having a dog in our family something fierce and Jake and I had a blast surprising the kids with the news of this girl on Christmas Morning!

On NYE day we got to bring her home and we are all smitten! She is such a sweetie and fits right in!

Welcome Home Aggie Eve Box! We sure do love you!

I love traditions. Especially the ones that belong to our family more than a holiday. Having fun as a family has always been a value of ours, so we built some traditions around that value!

This week we had our 8th Annual Box Family Race! The days leading up to it were filled with excitement and a healthy amount of smack talk. Going into this year’s race the boys had 4 wins under their belt and the girls only had 3 so Della and I knew we had to bring our A game!

Scroll to the end to see who tasted “sweet” victory!

Ok ok, I’ll just tell you, the girls team brought home another win! This means that next year’s race will be an epic tie breaker! Let the planning begin!

Camp Daylin Box.
You are 13 today and I feel like my heart could burst!

When you were little I couldn’t quite imagine what you would be like at thirteen. And if I’m honest, the age/stage itself made me nervous. What would you be like? What would parenting be like? What would our relationship be like? It all felt so fuzzy in my mind.

This morning you woke up a teenager. And I can honestly say that you are so much more than I could have possibly imagined.

- you are a friend to everyone. No matter social norms or cultural expectations.

- you are thoughtful. You see everyone and want to make sure they feel seen.

- you are funny. In the kind of way that lightens a mood or brightens a day.

- you are brave. I’ve seen you face your fears and challenges over and over and you are stronger for it.

- you are loyal. This is so rare in people. Never lose sight of it.

I’m so crazy proud of who you are son. And it is so much fun being your mom.

I’m tempted to tell you to slow down on the whole growing up thing. But by this point I know it’s a lost cause. So instead I’m slowing down so I can soak up every minute I can.

Tonight when you went to bed, I prayed over you. I feel so honored that I get to play this role in your life. Not only do I now know who you are at 13, but the man you will become is not so fuzzy in my imagination. I can’t wait to meet him one day. He’s going to be a pretty great guy.

Happy Birthday Camp.

Love, Mom

This girl right here turned 9 last week and we had the dreamiest “Cozy Fall Movie Night” last night to celebrate! (Swipe to see pics)

Della loves a good party theme almost as much as she loves smiling. This girl entered our world 9 years ago in the most unstable and chaotic circumstances. But her impact on our family has been undeniable. Her delightful and joyful spirit, creativity and wit keep us smiling, laughing and in Camp’s words… “makes her so easy to celebrate.”

So thankful for the friends God has placed in her life. It’s so sweet to have good friends to celebrate with.

Della Clementine, you are one of the best people I know. Happy birthday sweet girl.

xoxo, Mom

Anyone else loving this fall weather? I know in Texas this is considered “Fake Fall” because it always comes and goes before it’s here to stay… but I am here. for. it.

I always feel new inspiration in the fall. The temps begin to drop and I suddenly feel motivated to start that new thing, be outside as much as possible and embrace all things considered “cozy”.

This morning? I started training to run. I have a dream of running with my boys in their last years at home and this was the perfect day to start.

What has this fall day inspired you to do? Start something new? Order that seasonal coffee? Buy a pumpkin? I want to hear about it!

Our tradition continues! This month I introduced Hayley to De Nada Cantina! We are officially obsessed and can’t wait to go back!

This girl right here is one of my dearest and best friends. Even though our lives do not overlap any longer and haven’t in quite some time, we always stay connected! I’m convinced that’s why we are so bad at getting good pictures together! We can’t wait to jump right into conversations and now, soaking up these new places that we forget to invest time in quality pictures. Ha! We HAVE to get better.

Maybe someday will go viral and we can hire a photographer to follow us around! 😂

No but really… can someone document our friendship?

Can’t wait to find out where Hayley picks for next month!

Is it just me, or do other adolescent moms suddenly feel like an Uber?

I feel somewhere in the middle of cheering them on as they pursue friendships and interests AND looking around about 7pm wondering where the last four hours went.

I’m listening to the parents ahead of me and learning to hold space for this life stage. Hold space for the conversations that are unplanned… the treasures they share that give me insight into who they are becoming and the tender moments where I’m reminded they still need coaching.

Dear mom of adolescents, I’m tired too, but we’ve got this.

Ok. I’ve been mostly off social media this summer and it’s time to do some catch up. But first… school has started!

t’s been a year and a half since my kids have been to school in person! Doing school virtually for that long was both hard and beautiful. BUT, last week, my kids went back to school and it was soooo good. They had the best first week they could possibly have. They love their teachers, classes and getting to be with friends once again. So grateful for our school and for this smooth transition back!

Here’s to 3rd and 7th grade! It’s going to be a good year!
