MADE IN AUSTIN EVENT AT @austinpbs

What a special and inspiring night! Like most 80’s and 90’s kids, I grew up watching PBS. Sesame Street taught me how to count to 10 in Spanish. I loved Mister Rogers, Reading Rainbow, 3-2-1 Contact, The Electric Company. But my favorite show of all time when I was a kid was The Joy of Painting With Bob Ross. I would set up my paints and paint along with him every day during the summer. In real time! No pausing the tv back then.

My kids have grown up watching PBS as well. They still do! This event was so meaningful to me and our family.

New shows like High School Quiz Show Austin and Carl The Collector have me excited for the future of PBS.

Please join me in supporting them by going to this link and help try to save public media funding! Link also in stories if that’s easier!

⛳️ @wimberley_national_mini_golf ⛳️

📍 15354 Ranch Rd 12, Wimberley, TX

Check out this family friendly spot the next time you’re in Wimberley! 🤗 Part beer garden, part ice cream shop, and 18 holes of the coolest mini golf! The quirky art at each hole reminded me of Peter Pan Mini Golf in Austin, and it turns out that it was the same artist who designed both! 🤯 So cool! This spot is all Texas-themed holes which made it extra fun. The best one was the Mount Baldy replica with the actual amount t Baldy in the background. Amazing!!

🛝 Playground also coming soon!!
