To Never, Never Land

Never have I ever enjoyed a game of Putt Putt until I realized it could be BYOB. Peter Pan Putt Putt is a little putt putt range located at the corner of Lamar and Barton Springs Rd. It's not only full of Austin charm, but also an Austin classic. From its small-city swagger to its keep-it-weird attitude, almost anything goes. Last Friday night the boy and I decided to spontaneously pop in for a round and this is what we found. 

There are tons of people who play putt putt on Friday nights. From parties to groups, everyone is having a good time and by good time I sincerely mean that the range looked more like a bar then a serious game of putt-putt. Occasionally there would be couples, like us, playing a game, but in general it was a free for all. Everyone was courteous and nice when you wanted to play a hole they were drinking on and happy to move to the side. 

Muy-Loco Wednesdays

I might see friends in passing day-to-day, but it is always nice to go to dinner with the purpose of catching up. Maggie, Christina, and Hallie are some of the wonderful people I met abroad in Italy and we have made it our mission to keep the loveliness of Italy alive through a lot of good food and a lot of good wine.



This Wednesday Maggie, also an Austin native, showed us all up by introducing us to Zocalo Cafe. Today was Muy-Loco Wednesday aka $2 Sangria or Zocarita Wednesday.

all-you-can-do notebook

Sometimes a normal notebook just doesn't cut it. Sometimes you just need a slot for magazine cut-outs, photos, ticket stubs, or even little notes. Besides keeping a collection or random items, I also love to jot down lists from what to pack or what I need to do that day. Since there is no such journal in existence, I drummed up a way to make one. 

I found an old book on Austin, Texas and used it as my base.

Gutting the body of the work out with an X-ACTO knife, I was able to save the cover. In order to add a special touch, I found some thick card stock paper I thought would go well with the cover. Using three sheets of card stock I covered the back of the old book and spine.
