How to Find The Best Swimming in the Texas Hill Country

July 1, 2025

This is a very controversial statement but I love summers in the Texas Hill Country. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s very hot and August is awful, I don’t include August in my statement. However, if done right, May, June and July are really fun. However, I do believe you need to spend it swimming in the Texas Hill Country, or stay inside. See, the thing is, I’m a water bug. So I’m happy in the river, at the beach, or in a pool. That’s why I’ve rounded up all the fun places you can swim to beat the Texas heat in the hill country. This post may contain affiliate links.

25 Beautiful Bucket List Beaches to Set Foot On

May 29, 2025

I’m a big fan of being outside. From the mountains to the beaches, I love the natural world around us. In honor of summer quickly approaching, I decided to round-up bucket list beaches. I haven’t been to a lot of beaches but I did live in Australia for 3 years and hit some of the best beaches in the world there. As you can imagine, there are a lot of beaches in the world so I decided I’d have to give myself a limit. I decided to keep it to 25 beaches around the world that I’d love to set foot on. In order to keep it simplified, I’m breaking it down by continent and including how you can see

Super Easy Summer Road Trips from San Antonio Kids Love

May 1, 2025

Instead of doing a round up of activities in San Antonio for the month of May I decided to switch gears and share some of my favorite summer road trips from San Antonio. These are easy to do in one day, involve lots of water (because Texas y’all) and are kid-tested. Each summer my nieces and nephews come stay with us (one at a time- I’m not Wonder Woman) and this year, we plan to do some get-a-ways. That means I’ve spent a lot of time searching for fun places to go that we haven’t been to or that we think they’d love. So here’s my round up! This post may contain affiliate links.

When is the Best Time to Visit the Texas Hill Country

March 2, 2025

I’m not going to lie to you, I’m pretty biased about when to visit the Texas Hill Country. the perfect time of year is really non-negotiable to me. It’s spring and no other time is better. We don’t really get “fall”. Sure, there’s a few places with some fall colors but the real color comes in the Spring. And really, winter is mostly Jan-Feb when you’re over it and summer is very hot.
