summer

It's a mile of relaxation in beautiful Central Texas.

Sometimes we take the towns we live in for granted. We don't always realize the charm they have for, say, road trippers from OTHER towns passing through.

We can still find many joyful ways to "summer" this summer--despite the struggles. And perhaps even be surprised by new ones.

There's sweet & tart currants, succulent raspberries, and beautiful blackberries growing wild around our area. You can even go blueberry picking in East Texas.

I'm okay for now, but come July--Should I hide in the shade? Check. Ice water? Check. Consume as many popsicles as possible? Got it. Any other suggestions?

How often do you get told to drink, drink, drink, and drink some more? Not often!

Whether you're looking to blend up some fresh fruit smoothies or preparing a pitcher of frozen margaritas, a quality blender should do all the work for you without any fuss. Before you go all-in on a pricey option check out these affordable options backed by rave reviews.

Dreaming of the ocean lately? I am. Add a road trip, white sand beaches, and pina coladas, & I'm ready to go. You?
In the meantime, how about a photo journey?

Auditions are coming soon, but they've planned a couple of pre-audition workshops that may be just the prep and training you're looking for ahead of time.

After three months of laptop school, the kids are probably Zoom'd out, so parents aren't wasting money on virtual camps this summer. Unless they're totally unique. And free!

Whether it's catching fireflies, making homemade lemonade, night swimming, or stargazing--or enjoying beers with BBQ, there's many ways to celebrate summer.

Yes, it's still mild and you're lovely. But we know how this story goes. Soon, the days that feel like living in a giant sauna will be here. Take it easy on us?
