Hi! I’m Rachel, a Texas wife, former attorney, mama to two young ones + family pup, and a lover of all things fun and practical. After spending some time away from the practice of law at home with my kiddos, I decided to start A Dash of Practical to share my love for fun and practical things. My hope is that A Dash of Practical is a helpful and encouraging resource for you, whether it be with an achievable recipe that gets you into the kitchen, a new favorite book recommendation for you or your kids, the comfiest shorts, the best hand soap, or information on things “adults” are supposed to know. In sharing these things, I will inevitably be sharing some of our family story, which I hope you find authentic and relatable as well as a good reminder that no one is perfect (I know I’m not!). 

I am so glad you are here to follow along – please reach out with any suggestions, ideas, or just to connect, I absolutely love hearing from you all!
