Sharing some of my favorite places we visited while in Austin last week…

Grizzelda’s 

This. Place. OMG it’s sooo cute and for brunch they do a Mexican buffet that’s super delicious! So not only is the food really yummy, but it’s downright ADORABLE. I honestly couldn’t believe how adorable this place was and they had DIY mimosas so… you know I was loving it. Last but not least they have a bright pink wall outside! Perfect Instagram opp.

Barton Springs

So I had somehow never heard of this, but it was AMAZING! I highly, highly suggest it! It’s a spring in Austin and it’s seriously just so beautiful! Apparently when it’s super warm it can get pretty crazy busy, but when we went it wasn’t very crowded and was such a great time. This was my favorite thing we did while in Austin because it was so different from what I’ve usually done when there! So pack a swimsuit and make time to go because it was so wonderful!

Heywood Hotel 

While in Austin, we stayed at the Heywood Hotel and it was so relaxing and wonderful. I sadly didn’t take any photos of our room (unsure how I forgot to do that!) but it was so beautiful. There’s a communal porch area and that’s where I am in this photo above! It was the most comfy bed I have slept in in a long time and was just perfect.

Torchy’s Tacos 

For some who have visited Austin or live there, this is so obvious to them. But I have somehow been to Austin two years ago and had actually never been here! Torchy’s is downright delicious and doesn’t break the bank. We didn’t get a chance to visit their taco truck as it was raining, but everyone raves about it so I’m sure it’s great! GET THE QUESO! I promise you will thank me.

Amy’s Ice Cream 

OMG this ice cream is so delicious! Rachel Martino and I got Mexican vanilla and boy did it hit the spot! It’s located in a bit of a touristy area of Austin which honestly I think is quite fun! I highly suggest getting one of their waffle cones because they taste like a delicious cookie!

JuiceLand Barton Springs 

After hitting Barton Springs, walk a nice 10 minute walk on over to JuiceLand! Rachel had gone to this place before and it was so delicious! It truly hit the spot after a day by the water.

My very first Mother’s Day as your mom my sweet My very first Mother’s Day as your mom my sweet Evergreen 🤍 you’ve changed my life forever & being your mom is always going to be the thing I am most proud of in my life 🤍 I remember right after she was born (this first photo) she was crying & I just kept saying “it’s okay baby, it’s okay” and I can’t even explain how surreal it was to be holding my baby in my arms. It’s hard for me sometimes to not feel like I’m counting down the Mother’s days my mom had with me.. thinking I only have 6 more. It reminds me constantly to be more present and make allllll the memories & don’t hold back. Being a mom is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done & also one of the absolute best, beautiful, meaningful things I’ve ever done. 🤍

A little love letter to this @sezane floral shirt A little love letter to this @sezane floral shirt of my dreams 💕🌷 this weekend is my first Mother’s Day and it has me thinking a lot about being a mom and weird little details. I used to think when you loved someone it meant you had every part of them memorized- you could pick out their hand in a line up or their lips. But with Ever I’ve realized it’s not like that- every single day she’s growing and every single day she wakes up a little bit different. It may sound silly but it’s been on my heart lately about how weirdly this feels like such an emotional part of motherhood that seems so simple but is something I never really thought about. #sezanelovers #sezanepartner
Motherhood is often seen as the ultimate balancing Motherhood is often seen as the ultimate balancing act - managing a career, maintaining a home, and raising children. But what if saying “no” could actually be empowering and give mothers the chance to say “yes”? #pureleafpartner 💕

That’s where the “No” Grants partnership with @pureleaf comes in. This program is designed to provide a little extra financial support to mothers who want to say “no” to the pressures and expectations that come with motherhood and “yes” to simplicity. With the “No” Grants partnership, Pure Leaf is empowering mothers to say “no” to doing it all and “yes” to simplifying life.

To learn more and apply for a “No” Grant, visit the link in my bio! #noisbeautiful 

No purchase necessary. Open to all 50 US & DC residents, 18+ (19+ in AL/NE). Ends 10/31/23. Rules, eligibility & entry deadlines: www.PureLeaf.com/NoGrants.
