Packing List: Boston & Rhode Island

I am headed to Boston tonight for a weekend getaway in Rhode Island. I am very excited as I have never been to RI! If y'all have any suggestions on where to let me know below-xoxo darling, Hayden.

Week Re-Cap

Hey y'all! So in exciting news I decided to open an Etsy shop! There is only one listing right now because I am super busy, but it is my "Doors of UT" {which if you are interested in, please please please go buy}! I have had a lot of fun this week but I have also been super stressed out. Study abroad involves a lot of paperwork, Moody College of Communication Week is coming up, and school has been a little difficult. But it will all be fine. I am headed to Rhode Island & Boston this weekend which will be a much needed break from campus. What are y'all up to? -xoxo darling, Hayden.

 My little in Comm Council, Madeline, & I had to dress up for meeting.

On Friday night, Hannah & I went to Rodeo Ausitn 

{my first ever Rodeo} & I got to try my first funnel cake.

 Being there was so incredibly Texas.

 Bullfighting is scary but also amazing.

 Josh Turner {also, hello 101 in 1001 item}.

 Saturday Libby & I went to the TEDxSpeedway Plaza Confrence 

{again, hello 101 in 1001}.

 My parents sent me an Easter box and let's just say

 it hasn't really made it to today.

 Saturday evening Hannah & I took a walk around Zilker {see here}. 

Followed up by gelato at Dolce Neve {the Chocolate 70% and Egg Cream & Lemon}.

 Some of my sisters & I got brunch on Easter Sunday.

The G-Little is so precious.

An Afternoon at Zilker Park

If you have been following HT at all you have probably realized I am not super "outdoorsy." Yes, I like fresh air & to see nature but I am not out in it everyday. However, when Caline was visiting {and she is way more "outdoorsy" than I am} I took her to the Zilker Botanical Garden & then we walked the trail along Lady Bird Lake at Zilker Park. This was one of my favorite experiences since I moved to Austin; so much so that the on Saturday Hannah & I went and walked the trails just to get some fresh air. Check out the photos below-xoxo darling, Hayden. 

We followed up our time at Zilker with a stop at Mighty Cone & "Hey, are you gonna eat that?" as well as Holla Mode.

Big Little Week

If y'all remember from the fall, I am really into Big/Little Week. So when it was decided I would have another {and final} little in Ladybirds, I knew I had to do it big. On Monday I decorated her door, on Tuesday I sent her Tiff's Treats, on Thursday I decorated her room, and on Friday I gave her the gifts. It was a lot of work, because I went craftier this time, but it was so worth it! I think {hope?} she liked everything! See the photos from reveal on Thursday! -xoxo darling, Hayden

FTK -- Dance Marathon

About a week ago {from Sunday} I stood for 12 straight hours {it was EXHAUSTING}, but totally worth it. I was standing "for the kids" in an effort to raise money for the Dell Children's Hospital in Austin. Dance Marathons are very prevalent on college campuses and my spirit group helped raise over $1,000 for the cause. {Side Note: To be honest, I thought there would be more dancing & that it would be slightly more like the Gilmore Girls episode, but it wasn't, still fun, just different}. gilIt was an awesome experience, and now I know that I can stand for that long and still get up the next morning and go to class. I have included some of the photos from that day. We had to change colors every two hours {so that is why I am wearing so many differnet outfits}. Check it out below & let me know if you have particiapted in a marathon-xoxo darling, Hayden.

Our Miracle Kid loved pineapples, so it was kind of perfect.

The G-Little came to visit me! 

I tried my first Red Bull...

After 12 hours it was time for a Slurpee.

Week Re-Cap

Last week was amazing, hung out with Caline, ate a lot of delicious food, got my little {post coming soon} and danced for 12 hours straight without sitting down #FTK. This week not so much, I have quite a few exams and lots of scholarship applications due not to mention the fact that I need to clean my apartment and pack for spring break. I am so excited to be going home tomorrow because I have been kind of homesick lately & I am so excited to eat a bagel Friday morning. Over break I have a few goals, which I will be talking about in a later post. What have y'all been up to? -xoxo darling, Hayden. 

 Hook 'Em from our new sign! 

Franklin BBQ for the delicious win {see The Food Diaries here}.

Week Re-Cap

Oh wow, this week has been INSANE, and to be honest I think the rest of the esmester will be insane.  I started off the week with a career fair, some tests/assignments, and then Hannah & I went to San Antonio for the day. We followed that up by babysitting and late night ice cream with Sophie. Saturday was Junior Day for the football team & the backhome bestie began her visit! Since then we have been doing all of the touristy things in Austin inbetween my classes. This week ends with some difficult assignments, big little reveal, and a dance marathon #FTK. What are y'all up to? -xoxo darling, Hayden. 

My Career Fair #ootd.
