Fall Bucket List

In Texas it is usually all about summer bucket lists (because it is summer virtually half of the year), but my favorite season is FALL! I love everything about it - the changing colors, the cooler temperatures, sweaters, pumpkins, Halloween, boots, and darker nail polish hues. Of course the best part is that it is Festival Season in Texas!

Here goes the list:

1) Carve pumpkins

2) Bake pumpkin bread with above pumpkins

3) Enjoy coffee and the news on my porch - Just picked up a new brew in Gonzales, TX this week

4) Enjoy the view above the 360 bridge (Pennybacker Bridge) - Austin

5) Enjoy an outdoor concert - I'm thinking Charlie Mars at Threadgills

6) Go for a hike

7) Go paddle boarding or kayaking before it gets too cold

8) Hit up a few wine festivals - 2014 Texas Fall Wine Festivals

9) Scream at a Haunted House - this one looks good

10) Work hard at Pure Barre 4 times a week - Emily inspired me

Happy Weekend!

Texas Brunching

Like Emily & her friends on the East Coast, we like to do brunch down in Texas too! I have been so swamped every weekend since I moved to Austin, that I haven't been able to make it in my new hometown until this past weekend.


I finally made it to brunch at Haymaker in East Austin. It didn't disappoint. It was Haymaker's 1st Anniversary, so we even went home with some free swag!

A few weekends ago I also met up with some law school friends in Dallas to do brunch at The Cedars Social. 

Too bad I missed some of the funnier photo opportunities due to bottomless mimosas. I don't think I'll need a mimosa for quite some time.

Until next time.
