Earn It, Learn It by Alisa T. Weinstein (book review) – Winner!

Earn It, Learn It is a book targeted for parents with children ages four to twelve to teach children about the value of money, associating allowance with career work.  The first few lines in the book immediately grabbed my attention as it resonates with my own parenting philosophy. We are living in an era of [...]

Blue Dahlia Bistro (East Austin)

It had been a while since our family set out in search of another spot where we could enjoy our Sunday paper and some simple breakfast fare, and finally with the virus letting go of its grips on the kids, we ventured out this weekend to the east side.  Blue Dahlia Bistro has long been [...]

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop (Cedar Park)

A friend mentioned to us that there was this new taco shop with cheap tacos that she discovered in Cedar Park, and we all went to go check out Fuzzy’s.  Fuzzy’s is a no-frills taco shop that was pretty packed on a weekend night.  The night we went, they had all the televisions tuned to [...]

Pinballz Arcade (north Austin)

With all of this rain, we needed to find something to keep the kiddo entertained (as if two birthday parties in one day wasn’t enough!) but the hubs had his fill of excited children for the day so the usual indoor playscapes weren’t going to work. We found a great compromise in Pinballz Arcade.

…and here’s your bill, kid.

I haven’t looked into this, but I need to.  Do you think I can take out some kind of insurance policy specifically to cover the damages that my two year old causes?  I don’t know why it shocks me still when I find something destroyed in the house or anywhere for that matter, but it [...]

Happy Boba Tea (Cedar Park)

For years, I’ve been griping about Austin’s lack of decent bubble tea establishments, or rather that it doesn’t have enough good ones.  I was first introduced to bubble tea in the late 1980s.  My parents came back from a trip overseas to Taiwan, and they brought home a package of these super fat straws, the [...]

Recession Cafe (Round Rock)

Hubby was reading the local news not too long ago when he came across an article featuring Recession Cafe in Round Rock.  The owner Sandra Alton started the small restaurant after losing her son and not being able to find work after one year.  The article went on to point out that the food prices [...]
