  3. 🎂BEST BIRTHDAY CAKES IN AUSTIN🎂~ My birthday month (and a lot of my besties) is here, so *naturally*, I spent the last week trying 10 different cakes to find the best ones to recommend you celebrate with when in need! Here are the Top 4 which happen to be from at-home bakers whipping up the prettiest, moistest, most creative treats as their SIDE hustle— RESPECT! 🍰Each cake masterpiece is completely different and original. See flavor recs below + click my article on my website for a longer list of cake places in Austin: 1. @butterdaysatx - 3-inch cakes, dense as pound cake with thick buttercream, incredible jam filling, and gorg flowers. Berries & Cream, Devil’s Delight, and Lady Lemon 🍋🍋🍋 2. @sidepiece_atx - Moistest cake on the planet + BEST chocolate in Austin. SO. MANY. layers. Order Salted Dark Chocolate + Strawberry Hibiscus! 🍓🍓🍓 3. @atx.cakebae - GF + DF (just eggs!) Chocolate Fig Pistachio Cake is light, not that sweet, feels good in your tum, and softer than it looks! Love the brownie. Other cakes: Chocolate Cherry Pecan, and Blueberry Vanilla. 4. @scull_house_sweets - Classic + nostalgic bday cake style that makes you feel like a kid! Chocolate Chip Cake with Peanut Butter Buttercream Icing (#1!) and S’mores. Custom flavors encouraged or: Oreo Chocolate Ganache; Matcha Strawberry Cake; and Banana Pudding Cake #austinfood #movingtoaustin #bestaustinfood #austinrestaurants #eastaustin #bestaustinrestaurants #downtownaustin #atxfood #austinfoodblogger #bestcakes #bestbirthdaycakes #gfcake #bestbakery #austindesserts #austincake #glutenfreeaustin #aquariusbirthday

  1. BABY #6 is a… B O Y!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙 Our hearts are bursting with gratitude over the blessing of our fifth SON! 😭🙌🏼🧢🩵🙏🏼 If you would have asked me if it was a boy or girl, before the surprise of accidentally finding out the sex at our anatomy scan, I would have told you FOR SURE it was a girl! 😆 My heart and mind “KNEW” it was a girl, that Shi Shi was going to have a baby sister, and I was even calling this sweet baby boy by the girl name on my heart! 🤦🏻‍♀️ oof! Oh, BOY! 🤣🥰 God’s plan to reveal our little guy to me in that ultrasound was an unexpected gift! Thank you, Jesus!!! 🙏🏼 It got my heart ready, EXCITED and prepared to meet this handsome, sweet blessing coming soon! •10/23/24 due date• We are SO thrilled to welcome a precious baby boy into the family! 💙To give Judah Blue a baby bro to grow up with like his big brothers have had! 💙For Shi Shi to continue to be the only princess 👑 around here for the time being 😉. 💙For God’s ways that are HIGHER, BIGGER AND BETTER than anything we could hope or imagine!!!! Eph 3:20 A TRIBE OF SONS & A DAUGHTER…. THE BLESSING OF RAISING KIND KINGDOM KIDS… A FATHER IN HEAVEN WHO WATCHES OVER US… & HUSBAND WHO WILL GIVE ME ALL THE BABIES I WANT 😂… there is nothing more I could ever ask for!!!! 🙌🏼🥹💙💓🙏🏼🫶🏼 Did you know it was a boy or are you surprised, too?! I could have sworn I was in my girl era! 🤣🤣 💦💦 for the gender reveal, we filled up the water guns and added a few drops of blue gel food coloring (found at Michael’s) to each one and gave them a shake to mix it up! I put everyone in a white t-shirt and we said “GO” and let the kids start shooting their water guns 🔫 ! Our dear friends on vacation with us, were there to helping fill up the water guns, taking photos and they even wore home blue-sprayed clothes, like we did! Talk about loyalty 😂. It was such a fun way to do a gender reveal, was perfect for the beach and special memory that will last for a lifetime! 🩵🫶🏼💦 #genderreveal #baby6 #itsaboy #blue #watergunreveal #beachreveal #crouchfam #babyontheway #boymom #ilovemyfamily

  2. HE’S HERE!!! 🙌🏼💙🫶🏼👶🏼🎉👏🏼 part 1 We are so happy to announce that our precious baby boy is here!!!! Baby COLT was born on November 7th at 7:02pm. 8 lbs, 10oz of pure gentle love! 💙 Our birth with Colt was completely unlike anything we had ever experienced before! It was a journey, labor & delivery that almost broke me 🥹. But of course our Heavenly Father held all the pieces together in the palm of His hands 🤲🏼 and carried us through to the end! I woke up at 3am Wednesday morning, 42 weeks pregnant, with contractions in full confidence I was FINALLY in labor and this was it! The midwives arrived at 6am, but unfortunately contractions had slowed down. They had me drink another round of castor oil (this was the 3rd!) to try to get contractions going again. @thedanielcrouch & I went for 2 walks, took a nap, and did all the things to try to keep labor going. Contractions finally picked up again and things were going well, until the midwives noticed that Colt’s heartbeat would decelerate when I was in certain positions. After lots of consideration they decided to call 911 and have me transferred to the hospital by ambulance 🚑. I was heartbroken. All of a sudden, my heart, vision, plans, desire for a peaceful home birth and water birth were completely out the window. It just felt so dramatic. I had ultimate peace that Colt was fine. We had been through something similar before with Shi’s heartbeat dropping in labor & she was fine. But nonetheless, Daniel and I surrendered and agreed to do what was best for baby and follow their guidance. Outside of my house was a fire truck and ambulance with all their lights on 😭. They took me away on a gurney and the tears fell on my cheeks. I texted @britschoff from the ambulance and she immediately called and said she was on her way to the hospital. She & @moments_withmeg showed up as soon as we got there, slept in the waiting room & didn’t leave our sides until Colty was born. 😭😭😭 talk about sisters. 💓 We worshipped in the labor & delivery room. We read scripture. We did lunges, drank coffee and ate snacks. Daniel & I will NEVER forget them being part of the BIRTH TEAM! 🫶🏼 #birthstory #hisglory

  3. Dear Prayer 🙏🏼 Warriors - please intercede for our girl! 💗 On Christmas morning, our sweet Shi Shi 🦋 accidentally poured a hot cup of coffee ☕️ on her chest and stomach. 😭 The next morning, sweet baby Colt got sick with coughing and congestion and labored breathing. 😮‍💨 Before we knew it, we were at Texas Children’s urgent care with concern of Colt being just 7 weeks old and having RSV. And knowing that we could no longer take care of Shiloh’s burn wound on our own. ❤️‍🩹 We are so thankful they ruled out RSV for Colt - praise God!!! We are giving him breathing treatments at home and watching him very closely! He’s getting better every day! The next day we were sent to a pediatric plastic surgeon for Shiloh and prior to going, we prayed that God would give us the right doctor and that they would have the right protocols for her. The doctor and his team are amazing and truly angels! 🥹🥹 He put a antimicrobial silver foam dressing on it that we only have to change every other day, which is a huge blessing because the changing of the dressings was very traumatic & painful for her when it would stick, etc. We change it once ourselves tomorrow and Shi goes back in on Friday. We are praying for it to look really good, healing and clean on all fronts in Jesus’ name!!!! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼 These are the three things we need you to pray for... ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 1. Please pray that the entire wound is a SECOND-DEGREE BURN & NO PART OF IT IS THIRD-DEGREE. Third-degree burns require skin grafts, etc. but second-degree burns heal on their own. 🙏🏼 2. Please pray that there is NO SCARRING. Since the area is on her chest where she will develop later in life, scarring could impact her development. We need no scarring. 🙏🏼 3. Please pray for NO INFECTION WHATSOEVER in Jesus’ name. Of course, this would be very painful for her and also increase the risk of scarring. Please pray for no infection whatsoever in Jesus’ mighty name!!! We have FULL FAITH that God is going to heal her completely. Mark 11:22-23 And that we will see a MIRACLE STORY for HIS GLORY!!! Thank you to our village who has already stepped in so much! 🙏🏼 We love you! ♥️ Linds & Daniel #pray

  3. Ramen, redefined. . . As I embarked on my culinary exploration, I found myself stumbling upon a hidden gem of a restaurant, Ramen Del Barrio. Led by the illustrious Chef Christopher, the establishment specializes in harmoniously fusing Mexican and Japanese cuisines to create a unique culinary experience. With a menu boasting Mexican inspired Japanese ramen, such as the Carnita Tonkotsu Shoyu, Mole Tsukemen, and Tomatillo Kosho Mazemen, each bowl is meticulously crafted to perfection. My taste buds were tantalized by the following bowls: 🍜 Carnita Tonkotsu Shoyu A delectable blend of pork belly and buche carnitas, elevated by the spicy kick of chile toreado and the savory essence of grilled onions. 🍜 Menudo Tonkotsu This bowl, featuring hominy and honeycomb tripe, was further enlivened by the rich and complex flavors of Guajillo salsa. 🌮 In addition to the ramen, we were privileged to sample three tantalizing tacos: Yaki Tacos with Lengua, Spanish Octopus and Pork Belly, and a special Tostada that surpassed all expectations. It is Chef Christopher's innate love and appreciation of both Mexican and Japanese cuisine that culminated in his inspired idea to fuse them together, resulting in a truly unique dining experience. It is worth noting that Chef Christopher's journey began humbly in his garage, and has since blossomed into the masterful culinary creations that I had the pleasure of indulging in at Ramen Del Barrio. I intend to savor the rest of the items on the menu on my next visit, especially the Mole Tsukemen.
