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 …
We received a complimentary three-night stay at Grand Country Inn as part of a promotional blogger tour of Branson, MO through the US Family Guide. All opinions are 100% my own.\ My favorite thing about Branson is how family-friendly it is…the kids were welcome everywhere we went, and most of the attractions were designed specifically with families in mind. …
We received complimentary admission to White Water as part of a promotional blogger tour of Branson, MO through the US Family Guide. All opinions are 100% my own. It was raining when we pulled into Branson, MO. A relief from the oppressive Texas weather we’d left behind, we welcomed the grey skies and wet afternoon as we checked …
