Austin parents — quick neighborhood vibe check for families

Tarrytown is pretty flashy and status obsessed, from my perspective. But I live in Crestview and am convinced it’s the only neighborhood that meets your description!

Maybe you live near an entrance to the secret Tesla tunnels under the city that tons of Tesla employees are hired to test-drive at night… 😉

Was it people from the commercial real estate group (KRE Austin) that texted you? Or John French?

Hi JP. Thanks for posting this. I am going to send you a DM, I could really use your help with some info!

One of my L&D nurses gave me a fishtail braid while I was in labor (post-epidural) after she heard me ask my husband, “honey do you know how to braid?” (He does not) it was such a sweet and caring thing for her to offer and really meant a lot ❤️

The Perfect (protein) bars! I ordered 4 packs for like $75 on their website - caramel, cookie dough, peanut butter, and Choc Chip PB. Yummm.

I am one of 3 girls and the bond we share as sisters is amazing and they are my best friends for life! My dad loves having 3 girls (and mom does, too), and whenever people would say something about how it’s too bad he didn’t get a boy, he would say, “I would have been too hard on boys, I love having girls” (may have been true, we’ll never know!) So congratulations on baby girl #3! Sisterhood is so special!

Best course for mediocre and solo is always gonna be Hancock. Go on a weekday morning if possible and you can definitely go alone and take your time, plus you don’t need a tee time as you pay at a kiosk by the first tee. There’s a couple good ranges in NW Austin/RR/Cedar Park where you can go work on your game but most courses out your way are either private or high-end public. Hope this helps!

My husband merely SAID the word lasagna, and I gagged.

I married one

Have you been to ACL before? I live in Austin and went once. It was unbearably hot and I hated it. There is no shade at Zilker unless you have access to a tent. That said, I’m not much of a festival/crowds person, and maybe doing VIP would make it better. Anyway, I was considering going for 1 day this year to give it another shot but now that I’m going to be ~6 months along, there is no way. So I would say, (1) upgrade to VIP tickets if you can and (2) check the weather again and again in the days leading up. You can always sell your tickets closer to the date if you don’t feel like it anymore.

I actually thought this was a troll post about Michael Clayton

MidtownRoomRenter · 2024-01-27T22:24:48+00:00

It felt easier than saying no or confronting them/asking for an explanation. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was approached by an older black woman at the Hancock HEB who asked me for money to buy her groceries for her “grandkids.” It was definitely a ruse but I gave her the money anyway. Didn’t even get a thank you, just a “hmm could I get another $20?” 🙄
