As spring emerges, so does hiking season for a lot of us. I recently went on a 3.5 mile hike with my 3-year-old and 6-year-old. The 3-year-old is easy because I carry him in a backpack most of the time. Getting my 6-year-old through the hike, however, sometimes can be tricky. [...]
My head is spinning with so many fun sports and activities for the kids here in Austin now that the weather is so nice. I can’t pick just one to do. We have a ton of events and things going on for the week listed in one of this week’s blogs but for [...]

We struggle with this everyday. When my oldest was one-year-old, I ran into an old family friend who told me her daughter used to play volleyball but kind of got bullied by one of the girls and ended up quitting. Without the structure of volleyball practice, she said her daughter got all new [...]
It seems like everyone is working more hours and using the old “no-time-to-exercise” excuse more than ever. But what if you could actually work out at work?
