When I was committed to Weight Watchers, my biggest complaint (besides the restriction on how much food I was allowed to eat, waaaaah) was how cumbersome their website and app felt. I didn’t like using them to track my points. I missed the little journals they used to pass out in the old days (like …

In our house, breakfast is probably our favorite meal. And by probably, I really mean, totally. Eggs, bacon, pancakes…the stuff dreams are made of, I tell you. The best part is that my kids actually eat breakfast, and there are rarely any tears over the food we eat. Rarely. Every now and then, though, one …

Dallas has all kinds of great stuff, and it’s been a great place to live. Ten years a Texan, I’m not sure I see myself living anywhere else. Dallas is my home (well, technically, a North Dallas suburb is my home, but…close enough). Dallas also has a lot (and I really mean a LOT) of …

I’ve written about this before. Getting my kids to eat their veggies is kind of a…battle. To put it nicely. In all fairness, I have one child who will try anything I ask her to try and willingly eats carrots, potatoes, and a select few other veggies. But the other child? Notsomuch. And it turns …

I received a thank-you item for sharing info about TLC Schools in the Dallas area. I have toured the facility at Hedgcoxe in Plano. All opinions are my own. We all want the best in child care when it’s time to put our kids in daycare or pre-school. Choosing a school is tough, and it …

Right after I met my husband (he was living in Texas, and I in California), he called and told me he got a tattoo. A Star Wars tattoo. Ummm…ummmm…okay? Don’t worry, he assured me. It’s not nerdy. It’s the imperial symbol!  Fast-forward 14 years…and guess what I’ve learned? Star Wars Obessessions are genetic: my kid …

It’s no secret that I love me some YA. {YA = Young Adult, and it refers to young adult literature…as in, books written for young adults. It’s nothing weird, I swear.} Not all YA books are created equal, though. Some are amazing…bonafide pieces of fine literature. Others, while fast and captivating reads, probably won’t be …

I want to share the super-easy and kid-friendly breakfast parfaits I made this afternoon. It’s kind of awesome having tomorrow’s breakfast all prepped and ready to go for tomorrow morning!  Last week, as I was meal planning, Jack asked if we could please have Market Street Mac & Cheese for dinner one night. Actually, his request …

I feel all kinds of emotions about my kids starting school. Especially about Jack starting Kindergarten. Kindergarten! Today he said to me, “Are you sad that I’m starting Kindergarten?” “Yes,” I told him. “I am, a little.” “Why?” he asked, digging into the pudding cup I’d just made him open all on his own (because …

Last week, we did something awesome. We attended a fun media event with some of my favorite local bloggers at the Stonebriar Centre Mall Disney store to celebrate the release of Planes: Fire and Rescue. You guys – this was the first time I’ve ever taken the kids to a Disney store, and you can …
