Hello from the 806! If you’ve found your way here then you must be visiting Lubbock, planning a trip to Lubbock, or a Lubbock local! However you’ve found your way.. Welcome! I’m glad you are here!
Lubbock Local Blog Series
I began redesigning my blog at the end of 2020. As I was updating posts, I was brainstorming what type of posts I’d like to share with my community and my followers.
Early in January of 2021, a writing consultant came to my school for training. During our lunch break, he asked us what restaurants we would recommend for dinner. And as much as I love food… my mind went blank! I could only think of the same three places. Later that evening I could think of quite a few, of course!!
Then a lightbulb went off. How helpful would it be to be able to pull up a post that has a list of restaurants, things to do, coffee shops, etc. in Lubbock!? So that’s just what I decided to do.
I hope you find this blog series helpful whether it’s finding a place to eat or looking for things to do! Make sure you subscribe below so you get each new post sent directly to your inbox!

How did I get here?
I’ll be honest with y’all… the first time I visited Lubbock I said I would *never* live here. But, God loves to laugh at your plans and that never word always seems to come back to get you! (Am I right?!!) So here I am!
I grew up in the DFW area and came to Lubbock to go to school at Texas Tech. After graduating I moved back home, only to meet my husband and return to Lubbock just two years later. Now we happily call Lubbock home!

Since I’ve been back, I’ve come to love and appreciate all that Lubbock has to offer. My husband and I enjoy trying out local restaurants, visiting local museums, frequenting food trucks, and spending an afternoon on a patio at a brewery or winery. We love supporting local businesses and Lubbock has so many small businesses to support!

Still curious about Lubbock or looking for a post that features another part of Lubbock? Leave a comment and let me know!
