about Kelsey Kennedy - So Much Life blog

Hi y'all!

I’m Kelsey Kennedy—the creator of So Much Life, a lifestyle blog dedicated to helping people experience the very best of Austin, Texas. I started blogging in 2011, and over the years, this space has grown into a trusted resource for locals and visitors looking for curated recommendations on food, family-friendly adventures, coffee shops, books, and everyday inspiration.

In addition to my blog, I’m the author of Austin Food Crawls, a bestselling guidebook that helps food lovers explore Austin one bite at a time. I’ve had the opportunity to partner with a variety of brands—from nationally recognized names to beloved local businesses—and I love creating authentic, engaging content that connects readers to meaningful experiences.

Across So Much Life and on my Instagram @somuchlifeblog, I share a snapshot of my everyday life in Austin—from favorite foodie finds to mom life moments, cozy coffee shops, and everything in between.

In addition to So Much Life, I run three popular Texas travel sites: The Austin Things, The Waco Things, and The San Antonio Things

Each features curated recommendations of the best things to do, places to stay, and restaurants to try. Check them out!

Brand Partnerships

From my favorite baby gear I can’t live without, home renovation products, travel hacks, and even the placenta encapsulation company I used after childbirth, I LOVE partnering with brands that align with my core values.
