On December 1st, 2014, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science celebrated its 2nd birthday. If you live around Dallas, I *know* you’ve at least heard of the Perot Museum…it’s a Big Deal, and for good reason. This place is amazing! Here’s everything you need to know to plan your trip to the Perot Museum …
One thing I love about cruise ships is that they combine a hotel, a resort lifestyle, the great outdoors, and travel to exciting new locations all in one convenient floating vessel. Of course, that means you have to pack for all those things, too! This is especially true if you’re heading out of a chilly …
Taking my kids to Disney, or Universal, or Six Flags was one of those things I looked forward to pre-parenting. But when it came to actually take my kids to these places, I realized it was a lot more work than I had anticipated! Also pre-parenting, I thought my kids would sleep and that they’d …
When my son was little, we were determined that he would be exposed to every sort of food and that we would order him interesting and healthy things when we went to restaurants. We looked at children’s menus with dismay and ordered for him off the regular menu when possible. And truth be told, he …
I did something special for my birthday this year. I bought myself (and my family) a llama walk at Shangri Llama in Royse City, TX (not far outside of Dallas). Some friends had told us about it, and the second I realized that I could go on a walk with six llamas I was all …

There is so much to do in Dallas. If you like to get out and about and see the city (and especially if you have kids, and especially if you like to save money), this is for you – you’ll love POGO pass! Also, Pogo Pass is now available in lots of other cities, too – …
It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! That is the movie I’ve pretty much watched every October since I was a kid and also this year’s theme of the Pumpkin Village at the Dallas Arboretum! The Pumpkin Village always makes me feel like it’s finally, actually, officially Fall in Texas – even if it’s approximately …
One of my favorite day trips from Dallas is to visit Glen Rose, Texas. About an hour and forty five minutes outside of Dallas, it’s kind of a trek to get there but not so far you can’t do it in a day. And it’s home to one of our favorite Texas attractions…Fossil Rim! Here’s …
My family attended a media weekend hosted by the Great Wolf Lodge. All opinions are my own. The Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas, has been on my kids’ wish list for ages. We’ve driven by it, their friends have been and told the tales of its awesomeness, and they’ve heard us promise over and …
