Airstreams and Trailer Dining

The RV is near and dear to my heart. My kids’ first camping trips were done in our beloved travel RV so I am declaring my support for all restaurants in the Austin area that are serving up the finest of fine foods, cooked from the stovetops of the humble recreational vehicle.  (If you happen [...]

SoCo, 78704.

After trekking to Boggy Creek Farm on a  Saturday morning bright and early, we put the produce into the ice chest and headed 5 miles to South Congress, an area simply just known as SoCo, home of the not-so-secret First Thursday event that has revitalized, restored, and reinvented this part of town that most likely [...]

Boggy Creek Farm and Farm Stand

Boggy Creek Farm is a USDA certified organic urban market located in East Austin on 5 acres of land with a historic farmhouse building.  All the produce and flowers sold at the farm stands are produced at this farm and at a farm which the owners operate in Gause, located in Milam County.  Together the [...]

Springwoods Park (northwest Austin)

Update: Springwoods Park has undergone renovation that is not reflected in this review. Operated by the Springwoods MUD, Springwoods Park is one of the best, shady parks in the northwest Austin area.  It’s not a big secret to those who live in the area, but anyone wanting to find a park that has a bit [...]

BookKids (children’s books at Book People)

Compared to all the other book stores in town, I think that Book People (and Terra Toys too) have the most inviting spaces for children to develop the love of books and all things literary.  I consider myself somewhat of a bibliophile, and I love bookstores that suck me in so that I spend hours [...]

Whole Foods (Lamar @ the corner of 6th)

Even though battling the traffic to get downtown for us can be a headache, the kids love to come to the flagship Whole Foods with me.  It just tickles my preschooler’s funny bone that on the roof of a grocery store there is a playground with plenty of space for her and her little brother [...]

Reale’s Pizza and Cafe

There’s Italian food, and then there’s Italian food, New York style.  Reales is this kind of Italian.  We have driven by Reale’s so many times without even giving it a second glance only because there’s nothing that stands out about it from the outside.  It is located in an older strip shopping mall at Anderson [...]

(Lesson 1) Photo Basics: Aperture

By request, LittleAustinite will be adding a new feature to the site to help everyone capture images that will stand the test of time.  We will not be telling you how to take a picture, that is left up to the individual, but we will be informing the reader on some of the basics – [...]

Pirate’s Booty snacks

Is there anyone out there who has not yet tried Pirate’s Booty?  It seems to be the snack du jour for kids and health conscious parents.  Even our local Musing Mommies podcasted about Pirate’s Booty in one of their earlier episodes. For the few of you not on the up-and-up and still giving your kids [...]

Rosemary Denny Park (Cedar Park)

Update: Rosemary Denny Park is currently under reconstruction. It’s expected reopen time will be summer 2010 according to Cedar Park’s website. The first time that we heard of Rosemary Denny Park was from a mom in a Meetup playgroup who lived in the Riviera Springs subdivision in Cedar Park, within a mile of Lakeline Mall.  Having [...]
