Spring has sprung! And during these magnificent days, where shall we take the kiddo(s)? With all the amazing green space and proper park planning that Austin has done, this decision can actually be quite tricky. But no worries, I’ve gone ahead and narrowed it down to a few parks worth checking out, based on very […]
Chow! (Man, I crack myself up.) I have been a seagan for just about a year and a half. it really is ok to laugh and say to yourself, ‘How ridiculous!’ I do it a lot too, but I find there is no better description for what I am because I eat fish, while […]
Oh, Valentine’s Day… as a child, you were one of my most favorite days of the year. We would hang up our paper folders on the side of our desk and wait for a valentine to be placed inside. And sometimes, if we were really lucky, we would receive a safety pop or a sticker. […]
