One of the best things about living in San Antonio is that it is truly a family-friendly city. From restaurants to parks to school choices, San Antonio offers a wonderful environment in which to raise children. San Antonio is...
I have to be honest, it's taken me a while to wrap my brain around how I was going to put this post together. So many parks, so much fun and useful information, so many pictures—how do you narrow...
If you have been downtown recently, perhaps to catch a show at the Magik Theatre, you may have noticed that Hemisfair is in the process of being redeveloped. The park, which had seemed sort of hollowed out ever since...
Ever since YouTube featured Jurassic World ads before the unboxing videos, my four-year-old has been obsessed with all things dinosaur. But we all know that dinosaurs are more than just a fad! Here's a list of places and ways to indulge your child's dino obsession: Local...
Dudette and I have a "secret forest" that we love to explore together.  It's our special place where we walk, explore, and have some girl talk.  We stumbled upon this hidden gem in Alamo Heights during one of Dude's...
I started geocaching with my kids a couple years ago during a brief go at homeschooling. We’ve continued tracking down caches since then, and it’s the perfect way to add an extra dose of excitement to our regular outings...

This summer, get your family outside and take a hike! We don’t get out as nearly as often as we’d like, but we’ve managed to have some fun on the trails with our 15-month-old daughter. A nice and easy-ish place...
If you’re like me, our unseasonably rainy spring lulled you into forgetting what was around the corner: the raging heat of summer in San Antonio. Mind you, our weather hasn’t been as bad as it can be—no 100-degree days...
I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, so my move to San Antonio felt very fish-out-of-water. Although I was far from a farm kid, San Antonio felt much like a bustling city to me. It was all...
For many of us, a road trip to a national park is a beloved ritual shared across generations—an all-American family vacation to places filled with natural beauty, world-changing history, and great childhood memories. Our national parks have always offered...
We started going to the Boerne Pumpkin Patch years before we moved here. The environment is relaxed, there's a great selection of pumpkins, it supports a church youth program, and it's right off Main St (there's something to be...
