Hey y’all! This little corner of the internet has been growing quickly lately, and I’m so glad you’re here. My goal is still the same: one solid weekend roundup each week without cluttering up your inbox.
However, this newsletter was always meant to be the beginning. Over the summer and into fall, I’ll be building out more ways to help make Hill Country family life a little easier, simpler, & give parents back some of their time by saving them the searching.
☀️ The Weekday Summer Guide is live now with recurring weekday activities, open play sessions, story times, and other summer fun. I will be adding more things I find over the next few weeks.
And as summer gets rolling, I’ll also start sharing more family activity ideas over on Facebook and Instagram, so make sure you’re following along there too.
