@davincis_muse - Peach! Your determination, positive attitude and sense of humor are inspiring! It was amazing to see the progress you have made despite the odds. Till we meet again… in A-town!! The tacos and margs will be waiting 😊!
Starting Second Grade! She is excited and I’m just a little sad as she is growing up too fast for me!
Westcave Preserve and Grotto is an adventurous day out in Texas Hill Country! Best time to visit - mid May when the wildflowers are in full bloom. #texas_hillcountry #westcaveoutdoordiscoverycenter #austintx
Still having a hard time wrapping my head around this…. We are living in the Handmaid’s Tale.

So grateful for my mom(s), on Mother’s Day and always! @kothari.anuradha12 @neetalatawa @prabha.jain.75839
‘Tis the day :)
One of the most fun things I have done in a while. When you visit us, we are definitely going paddle boarding in Lady Bird Lake. And this includes you @priakothari :)
Me: Siena, I get excited about wildflowers… and waterfalls and bridges… and benches too!
