  This post is sponsored by iwi, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. When I set my goals for the new year back in January, I promise, I had every intention of reaching them. But like everyone, I didn’t see results right away, so I kind of let them slide day by day. Since we just entered spring, I figured that this was the best time to start over! One of my most important goals for the year is to improve my overall health and spend more time outdoors with my two girls. The key has been to add more vitamins and supplements to my daily routine!

Texas has many stories to tell and people to remind you of how great the Lone Star State is. But there are also stories that go unnoticed from the many good people that have lived throughout history. A few weeks ago we made a trip to San Antonio to explore some of the places that celebrated the history and Hispanic heritage of the community. Some places were well known to tourists, and others were more like hidden gems. It always amazes me how we come to San Antonio often and just as we start to think we've seen it all, we come across new places and things to see or do. To match the adv ..read more
