Thirteen might be considered unlucky by some, but for Erin and me, it’s become a badge of honor. Our 13th yoga retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica, was nothing short of epic—and not in the way we’d planned. And planning a yoga retreat is no small feat. Every detail is considered: themes, playlists, readings, self-discovery exercises,Keep Reading!

It’s probably our favorite time of the year to be in Costa Rica. 2012 was no exception when we came down to Costa Rica with friends to celebrate Thanksgiving. The weekKeep Reading!
Goodbye’s are hard. We are anticipating ours – one month from today. It’s difficult not to “go there” yet, considering we have had so many happy Hello’s as of late.

Yesterday we bid farewell to our last set of friends coming to town for a visit as Brent, Kristine, Aliya and Jaz. We had another wonderful time with them and the kids really enjoyed getting to know their girls better. Our week was filled with surfing, a night out a Bamboo Sushi Club, journeys toKeep Reading!

This past week was another week of firsts. First week in the new house, first family friend visitors from Colorado, first emergency trip to the dentist, the list goes on. Many stories to tell, laugh about and share. Theme? Colorado meets Tamarindo. I’ve been sitting here for 30 minutes trying to find a specific topicKeep Reading!
This past week marked another milestone in our adventure. For the first time in 3+ months our 10 feet were joined by the familiarity and comfort of 2 visitors (and 4 more feet) from home, Yaya and Grandpa Buzz. The anticipation of visitors from “home” was enough to make the kids seem drunk with excitement. For theKeep Reading!
We had our first visitors since we arrived in December. The kids were counting down the days until Matt’s parents arrived at Casa Xanadu. They arrived late enough that we had to put the kids to bed in anticipation of early morning hugs and kisses from YaYa and Grandpa Buzz. And the morning came earlyKeep Reading!
