We took our family on a road trip to Austin Texas and of course we couldn’t miss seeing the capitol building! The sky is so blue and crystal clear in the photos it was just an amazing day! 100 degrees but really amazing!

We had a great time this August going to an Astros game as a family. Friday nights are really fun because the fireworks display around 9:30pm. We didn’t get home til 11:00pm though so it is an all evening event. We plan on taking our kids again because they loved it, but we will go later in the game so we aren’t sitting so long! Minute Maid park is great you can drop off anyone before the game on any of the corners of the building, once you hand them your ticket you can check out the Astros store, also they have a guest services for checking coats, baby strollers and diaper bags in during the game. The train is the best part there is actually a guy up there engineering the train and for every home run it takes off and backs up, the kids loved it and so did I.

Recently, after receiving my umpteenth piece of junk mail I decided to upcycle them into Artist trading cards. The cards and postcards were the perfect size for me to cut out several ATCs from. I just added an image to the new card and a little watercolor around the edges and voila! Cute, easy, fun and a lot less landfill!
