tess latain lozano

it is with great joy i present baby tess!

tess took her sweet time, baking

away in tara's tummy for two extra weeks

& made her debut on july 19th at 4:05am.

yum! tess weighed in at a healthy 9.1oz 

& 21.5 inches long.

i think she looks like jeff w/ tara's beautiful bow lips.

my love & pride & awe for tara is too much to handle.

she is already the most loving & affectionate mother.

tara has always had such a defined warmth about her.

i remember feeling it the minute i met her at 

my freshman orientation at wcu in 2003.

i'm beyond thrilled to be a part of this 

excellent adventure with the lozano's!

in love. xo

rejoice.

synergy.

slim & i just got back from floydfest,

our favorite little music festival.

it was a fantastic long weekend filled with 

fabulous live music, amazing people watching, 

beautiful mountain views, delicious food & 

great camping weather. 

on our last night we watched a hunger games

themed fashion show showcasing all of the vendors

at the festival and i fell in love with synergy. 

we left the fashion show and were headed to the workshop

porch stage to see the hackensaw boys play &

walked right by the synergy tent... 

(a coincidence sent from the heaven above i believe)

i was seriously in heaven.
gorgeous, soft organic cotton & bamboo

materials with hand-sewn designs, 

all created by women in nepal who were

paid/traded fairly for their amazing work.

i excused slim to the next show as i played 

in the synergy tent for a while. 

i found this beauty & was good to go!

*also, mentioning the fashion show earned me 10%off.

with my perfect dress in hand, i ran off to see

the super fun & talented hackensaw boys.

yoga+crossfit.

currently, i am loving both crossfit & yoga.

(with a splash of mountain biking & hiking here-and-there)

i find strength gaining, adventure, challenge & fun in crossfit.

in yoga i find lengthening, mindfulness, peace & difficulty.  

i found this great guide in using yoga to benefit

your crossfit workouts, which in return

will definitely help your yoga practice.

strong is the new pretty.

love this article.

 i found on athleta's chiblog

fuel for life in motion, which i love.

acceptance.

what an unusual concept.
