This is what I wake up to on the road every morning. My Frenchie/Boston Terrier mix Mabel loves hotel beds because she gets to sleep next to me in them. — This is what I wake up to on the road every morning.

Our day starts with a long walk so that Mabel behaves herself in the hotel room while mommy is at work all day! Houston has great walking paths near the hotel that we explore. — Our day starts with a long walk so that Mabel behaves herself in the hotel room while mommy is at work all day!

I travel practically my entire kitchen because I’m a spoiled eater. Here are my travel french press and my soda water maker (I know, I know) that get me started in the morning. — I travel practically my entire kitchen because I’m a spoiled eater.

I have my car out on the road because I hate flying, which is a great perk when you have to run a few errands. My car’s name is Albin (yes, from <i>La Cage</i>) because he’s gold and sparkly. Judge if you will. — I have my car out on the road because I hate flying, which is a great perk when you have to run a few errands.

One of the best parts of touring is going shopping in the suburbs. I grew up in Ohio and miss the convenience of everything laid out right in front of you. And everyone knows Vicky’s is my favorite place to drop a dollar or two. — One of the best parts of touring is going shopping in the suburbs.

We even have a 10 week-old Puggle pup named Tye that just joined us! He’s still too young to roughhouse outside, so an indoor playdate works just as well. — We even have a 10 week-old Puggle pup named Tye that just joined us!

An hour before curtain we all show up for cheer call. We run through the major stunts in the show to make sure everyone’s on the same page. Brooklyn Freitag and Michael Naone Carter warm up their first “extension” in the show. (fancy cheer lingo) — An hour before curtain we all show up for cheer call.
