Runners: Get Registered to Run for a Purpose!

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | February 19, 2014

The third annual Run for a Purpose, which includes a 5K as well as a KidsK for children 10 and under, takes place in Lakeway on Sunday, March 2^nd.

Run for a Purpose provides an opportunity for lung cancer advocates, survivors, family, friends and the community to come together to raise awareness and desperately needed funds for lung cancer research.

The day kicks off early, with the KidsK at 8am followed by the 5K at 8:30 (for registration info click here). Volunteers from Lake Travis High School HOSA department will supervise kids activities such as face painting, temporary tattoos and art projects.

Lake Travis Area Parks Guide: Lakeway City Park

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | February 12, 2014

The Lake Travis area is blessed with many wonderful outdoor spaces, and Lakeway City Park is one of my favorites. At 64 acres it’s a huge area with plenty of options for all ages and interests.

My favorite thing about Lakeway City Park is the large paved path that loops around the park. Because it’s away from busy streets and usually not too crowded it was perfect when my daughters first learned to ride their bikes. They could practice wobbling while I jogged alongside. It’s a scenic path, and at any time you’ll likely see joggers, walkers, pets and families enjoying the sights along the 1+ mile loop.

Thrift Shopping in the Lake Travis Area

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | February 3, 2014

Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m a sucker for thrift stores. Given the choice of shopping at the mall or sifting through racks of vintage clothing I’ll take the old stuff any day. Now I realize they’re not for everyone—but I also know I’m in good company. Secondhand stores are widely popular these days and people of all ages, demographics and income levels proudly frequent them in search of hidden treasures.

There used to be a sort of stigma attached to thrift stores, but thankfully any negative label is long gone. Somewhere along the lines it became cool to shop secondhand. And that’s a good thing.
