This week has been HARD. On SO many around us. From being without electricity, being without power, the vehicle accidents, roof leaks, days without sales, events cancelled, running out of groceries, worrying about friends and family away from us, busted pipes, and more. Poor Texas; poor Boerne. Especially after the year that covid gave us, especially for small businesses, these times are making us stronger or crushing us. I've seen…

So excited to snag a few more guest blog posts before our next anniversary and annual model search! And this one comes to us from our very own Boerne Convention & Visitors Bureau! Near and dear to all of us shops and restaurants here in town... because their passion is talking about and promoting everything that makes our town amazing (including us)! "Take A Break FROM Spring Break…

I am so excited to go live with our next guest blog post! And while I assumed her post was going to be about her involvement with Alamo City Moms Blog, her book (The Con Man's Daughter, which I loved), her spiritual journey (the "Jesus is my jam" phrase makes me think of her, every time I see it), any one of her kids' amazing accomplishments (they're all kicking…

I'm not sure how many of you know that I'm also a photographer. For the last ten years I've only focused on children and families. But for the first three years, I photographed everything. I loved doing artsy prints, landscapes, and macro (where I was getting into the fine details of flowers and bugs). It was beautiful. But... I had more fun with little people. Working with kids brought me…

I am suddenly being asked quite often if I would accept guest blog posts, would like to do collaborations, or would like to donate items to a cause or a drawing. With all of them, I let them know how I've been doing things so far, what's been working well for us, and opening it up to new ideas and ways to do things. I have to tell you, I…

I am so excited to go live with our next guest blog post! By a fellow mom and businesswoman... and a friend! I can't recall exactly when we first met. But I do remember the first time we worked together. Knowing that I had a booth at the Outdoor Family Fair, and not having a space herself, she contacted me to see if she could join my spot and hand…

Did you know that May 1st was National Chocolate Parfait Day?! Just found that out, as I was getting ready to post this week's guest blog post! But this is no ordinary chocolate parfait recipe that I'm about to share. Why, you ask? Because it was submitted by our very own children's dental office! ;) We've been going to Little Smiles Dentistry for years, and have know JoAnn for a…

I'm excited to go live with our next guest blog post! And one by someone I love following on instagram! The funny thing is, she's not a business. She doesn't teach me how to be a better entrepreneur, expose me to new recipes, keep me up to date with what's happening around Boerne, or let me peak into the world of fashion and travel (which is pretty much all I…

I'm so excited to have our first guest blog post! And one by someone I SO admire! We've been following each other's accounts on instagram for a while, have participated in the same Boerne Handmade Market, even tried to pull off a Small Business Saturday event together. But this is the first time we've really worked closely. When I made the call for models, Sarah gladly volunteered. She chose to…
