Made Here | Austin, TX

by Caleb on March 7, 2013

Thanks, Max Wastler, for turning me on to this awesome video series by Jay Carroll of One Trip Pass. ”Made Here” chronicles Carroll’s trips around the country as he discovers amazing things to be sold by Levi’s.

Since I’m on my way to Austin, Texas, today for SXSW, I thought this one was especially appropriate. This video focuses on Folk Fibers of Austin, which deals in natural dying and quilting. Enjoy.

See you in Austin?

As Jack loses himself in his work, you lose yourself in his process – the intentionality and beauty with which he approaches building a [...]

I’m big fans of both Asha Dornfest and Christine Koh, so when they put their heads together to write Minimalist Parenting, I naturally became giddy with excitement. The book promises to be a relief to any parent who feels overwhelmed, over-scheduled, and generally sick of the amazing about of noise that comes with bringing little [...]

Reasons My Three Year Old is Freaking Out

February 12, 2013

This list of “46 Reasons My Three Year Old Might Be Freaking Out” from Jason Good has had Caroline and I cracking up all week. There is so much parental truth in this ridiculousness. Some of our favorites: His sock is on wrong. His brother looked at him. His brother didn’t look at him. His [...]
