I can’t believe that April Fools’ Day is already around the corner. It’s the best day of the year for pranks, but this year it also happens to fall on Easter Sunday. That makes the list of possible pranks almost endless. If you have a fun (and evil) side, I dare you to try some […]
In terms of Craftable Holidays, Easter is a definitely a favorite for me. I have two little (girly) girls, and when you combine fluffy bunnies and pastel colors, well…what’s not to love? This year we decided to make burlap bunny banners to add to our Easter decor. Once you have gathered all of the supplies, this […]
For 40 days and 40 nights, Jesus walked the desert, facing temptation in a time of need; For 21 days, Ghandi refused to eat in peaceful protest and penitence; For 25 days, Cesar Chavez fasted to protest pesticides.

We’ve got some pretty fabulous day trips all within a short drive of Austin, whether you’re looking to […]
I have always loved to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t make the traditional Irish foods that my mom made when I was growing up, like corned beef and cabbage, but I have brought a bunch of fun traditions into our house. St. Patrick’s Day is a FUN holiday and whether you have Irish heritage […]
Valentine’s Day – yet another over-glorified Hallmark holiday. You may roll your eyes at extremely overpriced delivered roses (raising hand) or at the Valentine’s cards and candy you’re expected to buy for class (do they still do that? – loved that as a kid), but the fact is that I just don’t think Valentine’s Day […]
