  For Mother’s Day, I can proudly say that my husband took me to romantic Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. It was wonderful! We arrived 2.5 hours after our departure and came home the very same evening without breaking the bank! In case you think you misread the above, let me clarify. We took [...]

  My family and I LOVE A&E’s reality television series, Duck Dynasty. What’s there not to love? They end each episode with a prayer at the table, are proud of their Louisiana roots and beards, and have an endearingly relatable yet hilarious family. It makes me wish I had an Uncle Si in my family [...]

  I love the theme song to Thomas the Train! Sing it with me, “they’re two, they’re four, they’re six, they’re eight. Shunting trucks and hauling freight. Red and green and brown and blue. They’re the really useful crew”.  “A Day Out with Thomas” is coming to Grapevine on April 12 – 14 and 19 [...]

“Living on the dance floor” has been on repeat in my head these past few weeks. It’s the catchy theme song to the hit Lifetime show, Dance Moms. It centers around dance teacher, Abby, and her group of company dancers (under the age of 15). At the start of each episode, you’ll see Abby place [...]

  As I was visiting the library last night, I came across a Dr. Seuss exhibit in the children’s section. It reminded me of the fact that we were asked to dress up our little ones in Dr. Seuss themed shirts at our daughter’s daycare tomorrow. The daycare had been celebrating a weeklong dedication to [...]

  Fortunately for me and my family, we had an awesome experience on our first cruise. Like the doomed Carnival ship, ours departed from Galveston. But other than suffering from some motion sickness, we have no complaints about our voyage! In fact, our girls keep asking when we can go again! We took advantage of [...]

  Hypnotic Donuts, located near White Rock Lake, has some of the most creative donuts in the DFW metroplex. I finally got to check the place out when picking up my race packet for their first annual race: The Donut Dash 5k. The place had a very laid back and cozy feel. I totally got [...]
