It is that time of year in Texas that draws us out of our homes and to many of the wonderful outdoor places in Austin. One of those is Town Lake Park. Surprisingly, still relatively undiscovered. Every Friday evening, we head out there with our dearest friends and their kids. We bring our dinners, wine and relax in the goodness and out breath that is the end of the week.

Easter Sunday,we actually put together an Easter egg hunt for the kids and they loved it. The next Friday, some of the kids were playing “Easter Egg hunt” all over again. It is a magical place with magical people and I look forward to it every week.

I am so blessed to be part of this super village filled with such amazing woman. I see their faces smiling and glowing. I know of their talents, strengths, weaknesses and struggles. We are each so different, but we share the desire to create for our kids a nurturing and loving environment, the desire to make this world a better place, and to live our lives more consciously making healthier decisions, but also soaking up all the goodness life has to offer us.

My favorite part though is how strong we all are. I have seen each of us come up to a rock on our path, deal with the struggle, and then clear our path by kicking the shit out of that rock. Not because we are necessarily angry, but more that there are bound to me more rocks, and at some point, we have to keep moving as our kids and life demands. That is the thing about being a Mom, we bear the pressure of so much counting on us. We become masters at dealing with challenges because we HAVE to.

I am waxing poetic. What was this post about?? Oh, good times at Town Lake. Here our a few shots from our last outing. Check out more on the eggs that Craftastica made!
