Folks, take a minute to pray for Boston today. If you are looking for ways to support those affected by this terrible tragedy, please be careful of what charity you lend your support. Lots of scams are already popping up from this (which is also quite sick), so it might be best to simply keep watching the Facebook page for the Boston Marathon to see what they suggest.   We are so very proud of the folks who have proven that heros [...]

With Taylor Morrison almost done building here in Steiner Ranch, and resale inventory at an all time low, buyers don’t have a lot of options.  You may remember me posting a while back about The View at Steiner Ranch, 20 new units that were to be built on Steiner Ranch Blvd.  I was the listing agent on that project for over a year.   We had so many interested parties but the builder just couldn’t get his financing in place to begin [...]

Just learned today that we’re getting a Randalls gas station soon.  They’re already clearing the space over behind Chase bank.  You can actually save a lot on gas with their points system.   Here’s a trick I use – You always get 2 points for every dollar spent on gift cards.  Every once in a while, they have a special where you get 4 points for every dollar spent on a Randalls card.  During those times, I buy myself a Randalls card, then [...]

Menchies is Open – and with that I’d like to say that I hope we all don’t forget about Cups and Cones.  I know they are different concepts, but they were our original ice cream shop. As much as I LOVE the black forrest ice blended at the Coffee Bean, I cringe when I see the line of cars there every morning.  Rick and Christine (the owners of Cups and Cones) have done SO MUCH for our community in addition to providing us with such a wonderful [...]

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that my kids went to the Children’s Center of Austin until they started Kindergarten at Laura Bush this year, and I LOVE the school! Looking around for what to do with them over the summer, I was SO EXCITED to find out what an awesome program they’re offering.  I was looking for something that didn’t have me driving all over town, but also didn’t have them just sitting around all [...]
