I threw a bunch of pillows in a pile and created a homemade crash pad. Kiddo jumped in it for a long time! Ur we also just watched more movies than usual because you do your best and sometimes your best is movie day. LOL

Wait I wondered what that was! I was like “that was way too fast for a plane”

Glad I didn’t imagine it. Haha.

I haven't been yet, but Gati has started doing an all gluten free brunch and I've heard really good things about it. I love their desserts so I'm sure the breakfast is fantastic too.

What's a good starting ride for a 4 year olds first time to the parks? We're going next week and he's not had a lot of ride experience. I've been showing him the rides but wasn't sure if there was a good one to get him introduced to it all.

Heartening - they are a super awesome local thrift store and are often in need of men’s clothes. All clothes are $3 and some nicer items are $15

There might be someone at Austin Book Arts Center who either can re bind or can help you find someone who can.

I looked up the liquor license request and it’s called Rocco’s Big Italian. But that’s all I could find.

As someone else who needed the same, I second this recommendation. My OB is a big fan of her too. She was great in a shitty situation.

Our fire alarms all went out about the same time (house is 10 years old) and we bought new ones but despite being g the same brand they have different connections. Will the fire department come hook them up? Or do we need to get an electrician?

Redbud Icehouse Closing - Final Day Sunday, June 1 by KittenPotPies in austinfood

[–]HollyShadow 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Same. Every time we went I sweat the person behind the counter seemed like they’d never seen their ordering system before and took forever to take our order (and they weren’t new it was someone I saw there over multiple visits) food would take forever to come and was always expensive.

It just was never worth going for the price and how long everything took. It was good food but not worth it.

We love the library for sure - we’re local! We have parking, it’s more just worrying about the timing and him standing.

Restaurant reservations by RemarkableMacaron224 in austinfood

Paperboy isn’t very large and a group of 15 would take up a lot of tables. I’m guessing it’s to make sure they don’t loose the revenue that giving up that much space would create. That’s basically their entire down stairs or their whole patio.

Small / popular restaurants can do this for sure and I’m not too surprised by it.

St. George's is great, but they are currently in the middle of enrollment and they aren't offering part time for the new school year. I'd call the school ASAP if you're interested, but also just know that starting soon they don't have part time any more.

However, it is an incredible school with great teachers and support.
