I didn’t take the Sunday Brunch Route today because with everyone in town for graduation I thought Brunch places across the city would already be packed. Apparently the LOST Series Finale is tonight, to be honest I have never even seen one episode but I love a Trivia Game and I love Waterloo, so...

First off, one more time, Congratulations all you UT graduates. I’ll be honest, I had planned on blogging on the Austin famed O. Henry Pun-Off tomorrow and awesome annual event happening in Austin every year, http://punpunpun.com/. However, faith intervened and a soldier stationed at Fort Hood r...

I know, I know late on the post today, I lose major points for the whole "planning ahead" thing today. I promise tomorrow I will get back to aiming for posting in the 9:00 hour. However, for those of us that have found it to be a Friday afternoon and you have nothing to do tonight head over to Re...

I debated between going Lake Austin or Travis today but with Travis being full and how we all love it I thought I might as well get it in while it is nice and filled. One of the things that I love most about Austin is that you have the Hill Country combined with these Fresh Water Lakes. Growing u...

Happy Tuesday everyone, who enjoyed the storm last night, crazy lightening storm, I must say I love a rainy night. Back to things to do in Austin, something about Tuesday screams "Taco Tuesday" so here I am finding myself writing about another 78704 favorite of mine, Sazon. When this whole blog s...

Where do I start, these are awesome. In matters of full disclosure Good Pop called me a while back to see if they can bring some pops by my office, naturally I agreed.

I have such a soft spot when it comes to our city's furry friends. I love that we live in a city that embraces animals and have so many pet friendly places. This is a great opportunity for people that are animal lovers and are looking for a way to help out our Austin Animal Kingdom, Foster a Furr...

What I love most about summer is being out on the lake, I prefer things with motors but this Stand-Up Paddle Boarding has certainly become the trendy thing to do out on the Lake.  I have no complaints it's a pretty creative way to get a workout in, so I'll take that anything that keeps me out of ...

I got to talking to my mom yesterday, naturally it was Mother's Day and I asked her what her favorite thing about Austin was because I would blog on that tomorrow. Well, besides me being here of course, cheesy I know but she IS a mom and all she said that the Hill Country and hiking trails are wh...

Happy Mother's Day Everyone, this is the first Mother's Day that I am not with my loving Mother  that I love madly and it breaks my heart, "Hi Mom, I will see next weekend." I was going to take the Brunch Route and blog on a great place to go to Mother's Day Brunch because if you are going to do ...
