New Blog Launch

I've been thinking about starting a new blog for about a month now. A blog that's more focused on local (Texas) activities, food, travel, etc. Putting this new blog in to action actually took a lot less time than this blog here. Once I had the idea, it took me about 3 weeks before I pulled the trigger. A part of me wanted...a perfect blog template, beautiful graphics, professional photos, etc. BUT, I don't have the money for that, and my blog will never be perfect so I might as well start now. So that's exactly what I did.


My new blog is called, THE BEST OF TEXAS, and it's not perfect. Although, I am proud of what I've accomplished in just a few short weeks. I am a bit worried about making time for my 2 blogs as well as my posts for Austin Mom's Blog, but I'll take it day by day and see how it goes. I'm passionate about blogging, but I won't let it get in the way of spending time with my family. I usually blog once Turner is in bed, so that leaves me about an hour or two before bedtime. Wish me luck!

I've got a contest going on Instagram right now for this 8x10 Gold Texas Print to celebrate my blog's launch and Texas Independence Day! Super easy entry on Instagram.


You can follow THE BEST OF TEXAS on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Texas our Texas

Last Friday, I celebrated Texas Independence Day with my company and many other people across the state.  I traveled to Gonzales, TX where the Texas Revolution began and was able to meet some wonderful small town people at the Chamber of Commerce breakfast.  Once they heard I was from the "big city" they even took me on a tour of the town.  I'm not usually in to history, but I seriously was amazed by this tiny town.  

On the trip back I spotted these cute guys, Jerusalem donkeys, on the 
side of the road! 


The "Come and Take It" cannon that started it all.  I would have thought it was bigger, it only weighs 6 lbs.


Last stop of the night was a tasting at Oak Liquor Cabinet. Cheers! When I walked through my front door on Friday night, I pretty much collapsed on the floor. I stuffed about 4 pieces of pizza in my mouth, and slept till 11am the next morning (that never happens...the sleeping late part).


Saturday my parents came in to town so my Dad could by a banjo, and get his computer fixed.  He's kind of obsessed with his banjos.   


If you know me, you know I am obsessed with crepes. I could seriously eat them for every meal. This weekend I was finally able to try out Cafe Crepe in Austin, and of course I was not disappointed. You can't really mess up a thin pancake covered with nutella, strawberries, and whip cream.


Here's to a productive week! The weather is gorgeous and all I want to do is take a nap in a park.

Eat. Work. Sleep.

Sorry for being MIA this past week.  Work has been extremely busy, and this past weekend I never got around to taking any photos. Not even on my phone, which usually never happens. 


 I hope everyone celebrated National Margarita Day yesterday!  The weather was absolutely beautiful here in Austin, and today it's going to hit 90 degrees...whoo hoo. I'm definitely going to try to have lunch outside today.  I desperately need to revamp my closet with spring items.  I spent 15 minutes staring at my clothes this morning.  Have a great day!




Working hard to prepare for Texas Independence Day!
