Hi all…

When we started this blog, we were hoping to keep up a steady stream of posts about area eateries, festivals, music and outdoor fun. But as it turns out, that’s harder than we thought. Neither our waistlines nor our wallets can handle eating out several times a week. And some of the exciting festivals and events haven’t quite worked with school schedules and homework.  The result has been too much time between too few posts.

But we still want to keep the concept alive. So I’m making some changes to the content by expanding the scope.  So here’s the scoop on the new face of A is for Austin.

Mondays will be “Make a Difference” Monday, an idea I started but hadn’t really gotten off the ground. That’s where you’ll find profiles of people and organizations making a difference for Austin area people and pets.

Tuesdays will be “Taste of Austin Tuesdays”, with recipes and cooking tips for a vegetarian take on Austin cooking, interviews with Austin area chefs, and information on upcoming Austin foodie events.

Wednesday will be “Wordfree Wednesday”, where I can post images of a wonderful place around Austin.

Thursdays will be the day for reviews of local restaurants, events and festivals.  Making that one day a week will make it much easier to keep content fresh (and our calorie intake under control!)

Fridays will be “Find it in Austin Friday”. That will give me the chance to share some of the amazing shops and vendors I’ve stumbled upon around the area.

Sundays will be open for whatever else I want to share. It might be another event, a date night idea, or a restaurant I just have to talk about.

One other element will be changing. While I love taking the photos for my collages, sometime the venue just isn’t right for snapping a dozen shots.  So future posts might have one picture, a collage, or a few photos. I will let the setting decide.

I look forward to writing this blog for a long time to come, and hope that these changes will make it more useful for you. See you on Sunday for the new beginning!
