I’ll never forget my first cheer camp. We spent the night away from home for two nights and spent our days learning stunts, chants, and tumbling. Yes siree, life was good. Until it wasn’t.
The camp ended with the requisite exhibition...
In honor of National Grandparents Day, one of ACMB's own grandmothers, Janet Boswell (Brooke's mom and "Honey" to her kids), is guest posting for us today. Happy National Grandparents Day to all of those special grandparents in our lives!

Before we had kids, Date Night wasn’t a phrase in our couple lingo—hanging out together in the evening happened every evening because it was just…us. Once upon that unscheduled time, we had date nights more frequently, rarely going out...
As I’m writing this, I am diligently preparing for an upcoming 2 week trial, knowing I have more trials set in the weeks immediately following. The last time I had a slew of trials back to back like this,...
The Japanese Tea Garden is one of the best local attractions that you probably aren't visiting. It's located in Brackenridge Park, along Saint Mary's Street, southwest of the Zoo. If you have not heard of it, I'm not surprised. I...
We are now a week into school in San Antonio, and the back to school excitement has definitely faded at my house (that tends to happen with the first homework assignment!). Usually during the first week of school I...

I've made it past the half way point in my pregnancy! I’m feeling like a normal person again and have more than enough energy to participate in life again. Smells don’t bother me (much) anymore and even though I...
Like many new moms, my hobby of photography was born right when my first child arrived. I distinctly remember running out and purchasing my first big camera, a Canon Rebel, six-and-half years ago. I justified the expense, simply because...
I'm not a true San Antonian. I wasn't born and raised here, and the Alamo City doesn't lay claim to being my home town. But I have lived here for 5 years now, and I've still yet to do...
I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, so my move to San Antonio felt very fish-out-of-water. Although I was far from a farm kid, San Antonio felt much like a bustling city to me. It was all...
I love many things about motherhood: the lingering smell of shampoo in my baby's freshly washed hair. The warm heft of my toddler sleeping on my lap. The clean *pop* of a cork on a nice bottle of red...
It was one of those days. Both kids woke up cranky, my husband was out of town, naps were too short, someone was pushed into the corner of the wall, milk was spilled at dinner, tears were shed, Mommy...
