If You Build It They Will Come

Last year Brooke and her family relocated to Austin from Las Vegas. After settling into their new neighborhood and home, they set about building their new life in their new town. Not long after the move, Brooke heard about The Turquoise Table movement through her pastor at ONEChapel church and she just KNEW. She knew that she wanted to have…

Creamy Cucumber Dip

I have the coolest neighbors. Like Nicole and Jesse. Family meals have always been important to the Vickey’s, but as their family grew, so did the demands on their time.

When The Days Aren’t Sunny and Bright

Hosting A Multigenerational Coffee

I heard my home phone ring, but couldn’t find the receiver. We never use our landline anymore. The calls are automated anyways — from the pharmacy reminding us to pick up a prescription or a pre-recorded political message. I felt a familiar nudge, the one that moves me into action.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
