Thank you to Horseshoe Bay Resort for providing our family with accommodations.

It’s taken me forever to share all the details about our family getaway but this trip was too fun not to share! Last month we went out to the Texas Hill Country on Lake LBJ and had a wonderful time visiting Horseshoe Bay Resort. There is so much to do any it was a wonderful place to relax and have a great time. 

Here’s everything we did! The video has a lot of the details on our trip but I also have a few photos and highlights to share in case you were planning a trip there. I highly recommend it for families or anyone that wants a fun getaway without having to drive too far in Texas

Horseshoe Bay Resort Property Details

Where is Horseshoe Bay Resort, exactly? Horseshoe Bay Resort is located in the Texas Hill Country near Marble Falls and situated on Lake LBJ. It’s about 55 miles northwest of Austin, and a fairly short 1 hour drive. From Houston, it’s about 215 miles and a 3.5 hour drive. Not bad for a worthy getaway!

Let’s first chat about the property. It’s so gorgeous, all recently updated. We were really impressed with the lush landscaping, the pools, and the overall vibe of the resort. It’s very relaxing and feels like you’ve truly gotten away.

They also have a really impressive collection of exotic birds on property! The girls really enjoyed looking at and talking to the birds.

All of the details on property are just gorgeous.

The resort is spread out quite a bit with different areas, and the Yacht Club over on the lake has a beautiful pool, restaurant, and bar. We really enjoyed spending our last afternoon relaxing here.

We were there for two nights and ate the first night at Ventana, which was delicious. The second night we drove into Marble Falls and ate because we wanted to venture out and see the town. 

Horseshoe Bay Resort Hotel Room – 2-Bedroom Villa

Our family stayed in one of the Palms 2-Bedroom Villas, which are situated next to the main tower. Our unit was 2 stories. The master had a king bedroom, the second bedroom had a queen (each with their own full bathrooms), there’s a pull out bed on the downstairs couch, and a half bath downstairs. It also has a full kitchen which is super convenient! We hit up the H-E-B in Marble Falls and got plenty of snacks, bottled water, and breakfast items to save money on meals.

If you’ve got a big family or want enough room to spread out, we highly recommend one of these villas. This pregnant mama really loved having all of the extra room to spread out and relax.

Resort Amenities

There are so many amazing amenities at Horseshoe Bay Resort, I can’t even recall them all! They have a fabulous spa, a kids club (so mom and dad can have a break!), pools, lake activities, restaurants, and so much more. You will not get bored here!

Things to do at Horseshoe Bay Resort

There are so many things to do around the resort – they even have a calendar of activities! It’s especially packed full of things to do during the summer. There are also concerts, yoga, wine tastings, and so much more! When we were there, they were doing nightly s’mores, and that was a lot of fun for the kids. 

We decided to spend the majority of our morning/early afternoon with a boat rental to explore Lake LBJ. My father-in-law rented a pontoon boat and we had a lot of fun venturing out!

    Would Horse Shoe bay be a good location for large group events of say 100-150 people? We are looking at it as a possible destination for our 2020 Boat Owners reunion with consists of about that many people as well as about 25 boats.

      Yes, we have a July 4 celebration with many boats on the lake. I have counted 400+. Horseshoe Bay area was one of my hunting venues as a kid. It is now a beautiful resort and community of homes. Marble Falls is next door and has everything you need.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been worki I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been working on restoring the after affects of my postpartum hair loss. I’ve been using @bondiboost supplements and products to regrow, nourish, and prevent further loss. One product I’ve been taking is the Anti Hair-Loss Supplement, which is perfect for anyone suffering from thinning hair and noticeable hair fall. It’s formulated with Biota Orientalis, which is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. In the month I’ve been taking this supplement, I’ve noticed less hair shedding in the shower and when brushing my hair. I can’t wait to see what continued use will do for my hair!

Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing a Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing and hand sanitizing this past year? 🙋🏼‍♀️ That would be all of us. 😅 #DovePartner I know your hands are probably dry and angry and the rest of your body could use some moisture during the winter months. @krogerco has an amazing selection of personal care and beauty products that can help you be your best self this year. I’ve been loving the new @dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer - it kills germs and actually feels moisturizing! And, of course, the Deep Moisture Body Wash is an old favorite of mine - great for the winter months or just for all the extra washing we’re having to do right now. Save time by adding Beauty and Personal Care products to your Kroger shopping cart, and your dry skin will thank you later. #UnileverPartner #UnileveratKroger #KrogerBestofBeauty
How we feel during yet another unprecedented event How we feel during yet another unprecedented event🤪 This Texas winter storm was wild, and completely heartbreaking to witness. It’s been a very hard week, and we are some of the lucky ones! Going without power for 3 days was not fun, but we’re very thankful we do not have any damage or burst pipes. 

So many people have quickly responded and been so generous. Neighbors helping each other, kindness from grocery stores and restaurants, and help from people out of state has really made me proud. We will get through this 💪🏻

I’m sharing a bunch of resources in my stories, and I’m saving it all to a “HELP TEXAS” highlight. Feel free to share it or reference it!

Why does nothing surprise me anymore? 😂 We clearly don’t know how to deal and a lot of people were without power today (us included). Had to post this pic of the kids before Logan decided he was over it. His first snow, and he was not a fan. 😂 Hope all of my Texas friends are staying warm!

I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum hair loss stinks! Even though I’m 1.5 years out from having a baby, I am still experiencing after effects. My hairline is still thin, and I’ve got a lot of baby hairs I’d like to grow faster. To help speed things along, I’m starting a “hair glow up” challenge with @bondiboost products. First product I want to mention is the Hair Growth Support Supplement. This product and their anti hair-loss support supplement are scientifically formulated to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. The Hair Growth Support Supplement contains awesome ingredients like zinc, silicon, biotin, and ascorbic acid to support the maintenance of healthy hair. Can’t wait to see what it’ll do for my baby hairs! [sponsored] #BondiBoost #BoostYourRoots
If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of the ways you like to keep your hair healthy? Here are some of the things I do:

▪️ Stretch my color sessions every 3-4 months. I know bleach and color services can weaken hair, so I like a lived-in rooted blonde that looks awesome as it grows out.
▪️ Air dry my hair after washing and use hot tools sparingly.
▪️ Use color-safe products at home.
▪️ Most recently, I've started incorporating the new @redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate line.

This new launch from Redken is exciting, as I am a big fan of the brand (I go to a Redken salon and find that their color is the best of all I've tried). The Acidic Bonding Concentrate range is specifically formulated with an acidic pH to defend against the negative effect of hair coloring, styling tools, and even water - to bring hair back into a healthy pH range. In trials, these products were shown to provide a 56% reduction of breakage, 11X smoother hair, 88% reduction of visual split ends, color fade protection, and ultimate conditioning. Say what? Sign me up! 

After the short amount of time I've used these products, I've felt that my hair feels stronger, smoother, and less brittle at the ends. I can't wait to see what prolonged use will do! #redkenpartner #redkenready #acidicbondingconcentrate
