May this autumn bring you a harvest of fun times and laughter with family and friends!

With discounts on certain days of the week and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, you won’t find many better climbing facilities than Texas Rock Gym. This unique and colorful gym is equipped with sturdy rock walls and padded floors throughout, and it offers both bouldering and top roping for all kinds of climbers.

Whether you’ve been rock climbing before or you’re embarking on your first climb, there are skilled instructors who are always on hand to offer as much or as little support as you need. The routes on each wall change frequently so there’s always a new climb to try, and each one uses different parts of your arms, core, and legs to give you a killer full-body workout. You can rent the essential equipment or bring your own if you’re a more experienced, frequent climber.

Making your space feel like a home can be a little overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be difficult. All you need to do is add your own personality to your space and make it feel more cozy. Follow these tips to make your space feel more comfortable and homey.

• Decorate your space with people and places that you love and with items that have meaning to you. Use artwork that features places or maps of places that have a special meaning to you and your family.
• A simple positive message can have a way of making you feel good and really bring up your mood. Use art that features a quote or phrase and hang it somewhere where you will be sure to see it every day.
• Place a lot of throw pillows on your couch or bed. These will always make you feel nice and cozy. A throw blanket can give you the same effect as well.
• Add a rug or two to your dining or living room area. A rug will make your space feel more complete and less empty or bare.
• Add a lamp on your bedside table or on your desk to add a little bit of light to your home. If your space is too dark, you will never achieve that cozy feeling.
