Ode to Moms: ‘Twas Days Before Christmas in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | December 19, 2018

‘Twas days before Christmas, when all through the formerly organized house,
every child was stirring, hopefully without louse — yes, tea tree oil works.
SUVs were swerving in the Target parking lot without care,
in hopes the discounted Nintendo Switch still would be there.

Shoppers were frantic, in need of anti-anxiety meds,
while visions of Happy Hour cocktails danced in their heads.
And Mama in her Lululemon with her rose gold yoga mat,
got stuck in line at JuiceLand, so she scrolled Insta and sat.

Mama took a moment to check her holiday card list,
fearing there was a friend she might’ve missed.

It’s Legit Christmas-y at Hill Country Galleria

Written by Cathy Hale | November 28, 2018

‘Tis the season to grab your smartphone and start adding events to your calendar, because you don’t want to miss what’s buzzing at Hill Country Galleria.

Christmas is bigger and more Christmas-y than ever at Hill Country Galleria with a new and spectacular Santa’s Wonderland like you’ve never seen before. Santa is so smitten that he wants to stay way out west with us because he doesn’t want to leave his cool new digs. We think he’s going to list his North Pole workshop on Airbnb. Any takers?

If you want to get in the Christmas spirit, head over to Hill Country Galleria for photo ops galore, extended shopping hours, a family fun run, a nightly tree show and more.

In addition to the traditional events, HCG is hosting an exclusive photo shoot with Autism Speaks for children with sensory issues.

It’s time to open your calendar app!

Hill Country Galleria: 10 Years in Lake Travis, Halloween & Trampolines

Written by Cathy Hale | October 19, 2017

Did you know Hill Country Galleria has been our neighbor for ten years?

The mall opened on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, with 35 retailers. Today the 1.3 million-square-foot entertainment, shopping and dining destination is a staple in the Lake Travis community with nearly 100 retailers. And they’re celebrating their 10th anniversary this weekend.

We love HCG for hosting annual events like SpringFest, the Tree Lighting, and Santa’s Arrival. We love the monthly wine walks and all of the live music. Whether you’re shopping cool toys at Learning Express, savoring a delicious bite at ALLSTAR Burger or sweating our butts off at RIDE Indoor Cycling, Lake Travis is lucky to have HCG in our backyard.

In honor of this milestone, we’re taking a look at what’s buzzing at Hill Country Galleria including new pop-up shops and party plans. If you’re a longtime LT-er, test your HCG knowledge with a trivia question at the end of this article.

Ode to Moms: What We Really Want for Mother’s Day in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | May 10, 2017

A mother is a special member of an elite, yet exhausting club.
We’re constantly stressed, busy, multitasking and in need of a foot rub.

Mom life forces you to do things you never thought you’d do.
Like remain calm when you see bodily fluids and not shriek, “Ewww!?”

Over the years you’ve cleaned up drool, spills, poop and pee.
If you’ve caught vomit in your purse at the Galleria, you’ve exclaimed, “yippee!”

On the way to school, practices and games with healthy snacks in tow you thrive.
620 is backed up for miles? We’ll take Serene Hills Drive!

You can survive on Cheetos, Goldfish, Greek yogurt and coffee of Krup
It doesn’t phase you when your son – in All Star Burger – hands you his youth athletic cup.
