  • Hey there little friend. • • • #plantmom #succulent #succulentpropagation #gardening
  • Happy 30th @gbayfoundation! Holy moly I’m so lucky and blessed to work with this amazingly passionate group of people (many of them not pictured). I’m so thankful to be a small part of this organization’s legacy. A few years ago I would never have believed you if you told me I would actually get to do what I do as a career, and that I would get to do it with people who inspire me as much as this bunch does. Cheers to 30 more years of preserving, protecting, and being the guardian of Galveston Bay! 🌊🌿🐬♥️ #loveourbay #galvestonbay #galvestonbayfoundation
  • We got to see two of our dear friends get married last night, and catch up with some more old friends we don’t see nearly enough. It’s funny when you get together with people you’ve known since the teenage years and you realize y’all are all almost 3️⃣0️⃣ Talk shifts to subjects like the garden beds you all just built, home renovations, and the housing market. #adulting

  • When you’re feeling super accomplished because you finally started your raised garden but you’re also silently praying you inherited your parents’ green thumbs... Here’s hoping I can not only keep these things alive, but that I will also be able to harvest some yummy produce in the coming months 🙏🏽 #gardening #vegetablegarden #backyardgardening #plantmama
  • Apparently I was so excited about my new plant babies I couldn’t open my eyes 😂 Vegetable garden here I come! 🥒🍅 • • • #aroundtheworldinkatydays #ecoliving #gardening #maasnursery #seabrook
  • Throwback to our last Golden State trip because we booked our next adventure today! We’re going to Yosemite in April⛰🌲As a native Californian, it’s always been a source of shame that I’m such a National Park enthusiast but have never been to Yosemite. I can’t wait to change that in April! • • • #aroundtheworldinkatydays #sanfrancisco #goldengatebridge #california #travel #wanderlust
  • Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I could write pages and pages about the women I’m inspired by and how I want us all to fight together progress in women’s equality, but instead I want to take a second to acknowledge my biggest inspiration: mi madre. I don’t say it enough, but Mom thank you so much for being the best positive female role model I could’ve ever asked for. A cancer researcher, a conservation biologist and archaeologist, the savviest of travelers, quick learner of languages, and storyteller. You’re so cool and I’m so proud that you’re my mama. • • • #aroundtheworldinkatydays #women #love #equality #empoweredwomen
