The only problem with making our own valentines is that if I do it for one kid, I’ve got to do it for the other kid, too. And of course, they have different interests and are different ages – so we ended up making two different valentines this year. Actually, the kids fought over who …

WOW. Just…WOW, wow, HOLY COW. 2014 was crazy! If you’d have told me, just a couple years ago, that I’d be starting a business and selling Meal Planners…of all things…I wouldn’t have believed you. But then. this little voice in the back of my head and this little tug in my heart kept directing me …

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 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 …
