2020 changed a lot of things for a lot of people all around the world.

In our small sphere in central Texas, we had two big family events:

1. Nikki got married

2. Morgan had a baby

And so, this blog went dormant for a little while.

But now, Nikki & Morgan are both doing some AMAZING things and you can still follow along!

Nikki and her new husband have been traveling around the American Southwest and sharing their adventures on her Instagram @TheTravelNursesWife, YouTube channel, and new blog travelnurseswife.com

Morgan has continued blogging at MorganMaBelle.com, but instead of runway shows and photoshoots, the content has turned decidedly domestic with DIYs and homemaking.

We plan to resume posting here on The Girls From Austin to share family-friendly events in the Austin area in 2023!

Easiest Zero Waste Living Tips

1. Rock Climbing or Bouldering - We had a ton of fun trying out two different facilities; Crux Climbing Center and Austin Bouldering Project "ABP".

While both had bouldering (where you climb up a short height without any harness), as well as yoga and fitness classes, there were a few differences between them. Crux Climbing Center had rock climbing (with the harness and much higher) and was a little cheaper, while ABP had a loft with tables and chairs for you to relax in between fitness classes or climbing. ABP also had a much wider variety of bouldering options since they did not offer rock climbing. One cool thing about Crux's bouldering experience was "The Cave." It is exactly what it sounds like, a cave with rocks all over it so you are climbing upside down or around curves. ABP did have a very small version of "The Cave," but it did have a much wider variety of bouldering options in general since that is what it focuses on.
