To help conjure up the spirit of Halloween this year, I’ve been playing the spookiest podcasts of the season. I listen to a lot of podcasts during my hour commute to and from work and these all make the trip so scary good. 5 Scariest Podcasts My Favorite Murder This is, hands down, my favorite podcast right now.

Is surfing season back yet? Things might be looking up for this October Surfside. When most people think of going to the beach, and even surfing, they usually imagine a balmy paradise. But as people who surf know, the best waves come in with the cooler temperatures. The warm summer doldrums yield mostly flat water, especially in the Gulf, and… View Post
Who has time to go to the grocery store anymore, anyway? Blue Apron is a meal delivery service that sends a weekly box with exactly enough fresh ingredients for 3 meals. This was our first time trying Blue Apron out, and it was actually pretty awesome! When I came home from work on Friday, we had a cardboard box sitting… View Post

Chris says the silver plating makes it look like they came from the moon. Or… View Post

Most of the United States is probably preparing for fall, but here in Texas we are entering the throes of summer. They call this the “dog days” of summer, and temperatures are well into the 100s. My boyfriend and I are… View Post
Day 2 of Float Fest in San Marcos! Chris and I went down pretty early to float the river before the sun climbed to high. But really, the river cools everything off anyway. Floating was so much fun! It’s been a few years since I floated the river, and never with Chris. Just toss your tube in, hop on and… View Post
Float Fest! We went to San Marcos for the music festival on July 16 & 17, and I’m only just now getting around to editing these photos! Float Fest is awesome. You hop in an inner tube, float down the river, and come out right at the entrance to the festival grounds where you can catch live music. This idea is seriously… View Post
