Tonight the #FabFam went to the 55th Annual Austin Trail of Lights at Zilker Park! See more from this year's festival in my Story, and if you're planning to go yourself, @atxlights runs nightly from 7 - 10 pm through December 23rd. The #TrailofLights is Austin’s largest holiday tradition, welcoming more than 400,000 guests every year for its display of more than 2 million lights, 90 holiday trees, 70+ holiday displays, nightly entertainment, and food trucks (would it even be an #ATX tradition without live entertainment and food trucks?). Entry to the #AustinTrailofLights is $5 for adults (kids 11 and under are free), and there are some nights where general admission is FREE thanks to the support of the Trail of Lights Foundation! But I highly recommend upgrading to the ZIP Pass (ZIP Passes are $20 each) as you get early entry at 6 pm, access to the exclusive ZIP entrance (this is a great way to skip the long lines on busy nights), and access to the ZIP Lounge for complimentary holiday cookies, cocoa, comfortable seating, and heated washrooms. Learn more about free nights, tickets, and ZIP Passes for #ATXTrailofLights here: austintrailoflights.org.

One of the picks on my 2019 gift guide is the @officialaerogarden Harvest Indoor Garden System. 🌿 This is a great gift for someone with limited (or no) yard space, or a climate that makes outdoor gardening difficult (my poor herbs die every winter when we get the first freeze). With AeroGarden you grow up to 6 different herbs, veggies or flower varieties all year long – no sun, no soil and no green thumb required. The AeroGarden Harvest’s compact shape and super easy 3 button control panel makes it a great fit for any room in any home. Have fresh flavors right at your fingertips no matter what the weather is like outside. The Harvest’s grow light hood contains 20 watts of white, red and blue LED lights, giving your plants the full spectrum of sunlight they need to grow, and grow quickly! Plants grow 5X faster than in a traditional outdoor garden. And the automatic timer makes sure the lights go on and off at exactly the right time. The garden adjusts for up to 12″ of grow height and the simple backlit buttons remind you when to add water and our patented liquid plant food so keeping your plant babies happy and thriving is never a problem. AeroGarden also has a germination guarantee, and will send you a new seed pod quickly if you have one that doesn't sprout. Check out the options and buy yours here: http://gofyi.ly/CADB9E23.

Holiday entertaining idea! I’m sharing tips for how to put together a charcuterie board, along with a recipe for an out-of-the-box, protein-packed charcuterie board that stars peanut butter! Click the link in my bio to get it.
.
I’ve been talking about the many health and sustainability benefits of peanuts and peanut butter for some time now, and love coming up with new ways to use peanut butter in recipes. Peanut butter is not only delicious, but also very nutritious and affordable. Adding just a two tablespoon serving to your recipes and snacks will give you eight powerful grams of protein, two grams of filling fiber, and 12 grams of unsaturated fat (the good fat we need!). Sure, PB&Js are delicious, but there are tons of other ways to use peanut butter during breakfast, lunch, dinner and more. Holiday entertaining is no exception.
.
Would you try a charcuterie board centered around peanut butter? Comment below to let me know, and share other ways you use this classic comfort food with the hashtag #HowDoYouPB.

Some peanut products were #gifted to me by the @nationalpeanutboard and @peanutshere.

10 years ago I was heading into work at @myspace. It was the day of my office baby shower. I never made it to the office that day, as this one decided he was ready to make an appearance 10 days before his due date. Looking back, it’s so hard to imagine his little hands and feet were ever this small (both his hands and feet are the same size as mine now!). It’s hard to imagine he was small enough to fit inside my belly and on @nikgrayson’s arm like this, now that he can almost look me straight in the eye. While the last 10 years feel like they went by too fast, I love watching him become the young man he is. I love that we can have deep talks, make memories, and have adventures together. 10 is starting off so great! Happiest birthday to the one who made me a mother 10 years ago today. Grayson August, I love you more than I could ever express!
