DFW Mama

This past Sunday my family and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and spent the day at Six Flags.  If anything, I love just walking around and getting in some cardio as I people watch.  Normally when we go, the lines are unbelievably long, so we are pretty picky about what rides [...]

I love the Dallas Arboretum. The grounds are beautiful and impeccably maintained, the views of White Rock Lake are stunning, the staff is helpful, and maybe best of all – the kids love it (what kid wouldn’t love a place where they can run barefoot across a manicured lawn and then play in a giant [...]

It is that time of year…Teacher Appreciation and End of School gift time! As a teacher for 13 years, let me pass on the message…PLEASE, no “teacher stuff”! These are the mugs, plaques, earrings, etc. made specifically for teachers (think apples, school houses, ruler decorations!). Trust me, your teacher has enough of it. What would [...]

Are you interested in the latest deal at Disney World?  How about 15%-25% off vacation packages most nights June 15, 2012-August 14, 2012?!  Now is the perfect time to plan an extra special summer vacation in the middle of the magic! I really suggest taking advantage of all the fun Disney has to offer.  With [...]

This spring feels like it started about mid-February and so did all the pollen. So much so that I have been sitting in bed for a few days trying to recover from our full day’s adventure to celebrate the season with bunnies and bluebonnets.

I am one person who never gave into the hype of the whole Apple i-whatever it is.  I had an iPod back years ago when they were long and skinny like a stick of gum, but that has been 6 years ago and a lot has changed. Blackberry has always been my thing.  When the [...]

I had one of those days not too long ago when I decided that I was fat and I needed to do something about it.  I’m not sure if it was because my 5 year old would constantly lift up my shirt and rub my belly while saying, “Baby.  Mommy, when are you going to [...]

Do you need a little rejuvenation in your Mom life?  Would you like to connect with other Moms in person and have some fun together? Then you should attend Project Mom in Fort Worth on February 24-25 at the Hilton Fort Worth Hotel.  Sessions include lots of valuable topics such as photography, organization, coupons, style, [...]

I bought myself a Kindle Touch for Christmas this year, and I am completely hooked. I was debating the decision for a long time before finally taking the plunge and I am so glad that I did. And I wasn’t alone–the PEW Internet Research Project found that ereader and tablet computer ownership jumped from around [...]
