I had a moment yesterday. It was just another moment like the ones I’ve been having all year. Another realization of something that won’t happen because of COVID.
My kindergartner came home with a big smile, telling me about this...
Well, hello October! I'm so glad you're here - I feel like I can officially start celebrating all things fall-ish. Seeing as how it's still in the high 90's (Are we done? Will it stay cool now?) the -ish...
COVID has canceled everything -- school, sports, concerts, Fiesta. But this mama is putting her foot down for Halloween. I believe in the Great Pumpkin and human ingenuity too much to give that up! Even if trick-or-treating looks wildly...
It’s the most...wonderful time… of the yeaaaaarrrrrr!
And by this I mean HALLOWEEEEEN!
We are all having to deal with whatever that’s going to look like for trick-or-treating in this, the year of the Great Pandemic Pause, so I’ve been stressing...

Guys. It's happening. Things are opening back up. I feel the tension dissipating on trips to H-E-B. We went to the park today and my kids had never been happier–I hadn't realized how much they've missed people too. They...
Spring Break is upon us! If you’ve dropped the ball on planning a big family vacation, or maybe you’re looking to stay close to home this year, New Braunfels is about 30 minutes away from most parts of San...
Spring Break is upon us. We’ve made it to mid-March, and although it seems like we just wrapped up Christmas break, here we are again, planning and plotting ways to keep our kids occupied (and entertained!) for a full...
We live in a great part of Texas for outdoor fun. Although it does get quite hot in the summer, we have lots of opportunities to beat the heat with splash pads all over town, SeaWorld, Six Flags, and...
All moms are runners. Maybe not at first, but once your baby grows into a toddler you have no choice. Whether it's through Target aisles, down driveways, between church pews, you’re going to be chasing that little stinker everywhere....
When my kiddos were babies and toddlers, a portion of our day was made up of park playing and stroller riding. (I was the one running behind the stroller!) I took advantage of the plethora of parks here in...
