When Baby’s in the NICU, Part One
My son Kyle has a story, already, at 7 months old. At day two of life he had a 5-minute seizure. His blog is here, but the short version is that he got a very scary diagnosis at day three of life that sent us to Children’s. Turned out his diagnosis is (almost) nothing to [...]
Belo Garden – New Park In Downtown Dallas
I really had no idea that being a Stay At Home Mom also came with the title of Event Planner. And much to my surprise “Bridezilla” ain’t got nothing on “Toddlerzilla”! These toddlers are just so demanding! Events need to be free or relatively inexpensive, safe for a toddler who likes to run, explore and [...]
Dallas World Aquarium
When planning a family event with my husband and two little guys, who are almost 3 and 18 months, I knew I wanted to go somewhere we could ALL enjoy! After thinking about the excitement my boys have at the sight of aquariums, I thought it would be a great idea to head to the [...]
The first day of school
Yes, you read that right. In three short weeks, my daughter will be starting her first day of school. Well, technically it’s not school. It’s more of a mother’s day out program. And it’s just one day a week, less than five minutes away from my house. And these are the things I keep saying [...]
Nursery Tour I Behind Locked Doors
When Abbe discovered she and her husband were expecting, they were living in the Lakewood area of Dallas. They’d had a lot of fun renovating their older home, and wanted their nursery to be a part of that process. There was only one problem: they were keeping their baby’s gender a secret! Throughout pregnancy, their [...]
Contributor Confessions: Mother’s Day Wishes
Mother’s Day is around the corner, and now that I’m a mother it takes on a whole new meaning for me. I’m no longer making picture magnets or matchstick hearts for my mom, instead I celebrate this sweet, precious baby my husband and I brought into the world and look forward to the day when [...]
City Spotlight: Richardson
They say living in Texas is like living in five different countries. There are the piney woods of East Texas, the rolling beauty of the Hill Country down south, the mountains of Big Bend even further south, the desert-like West Texas, and the grassy plains of the North. Whew! After living in Dallas for the [...]
Monkey See Monkey Do at the Dallas Zoo
I wish I could say I was a frequent supporter of the Dallas Zoo, but I have to admit, I only recently rediscovered the Zoo. A few weeks ago, it was a beautiful Spring day and I decided to pack up my little one and head to the zoo for the first time since elementary [...]
Road tripping with kids. You CAN do it!
It won’t be long and we’ll be headed on our family vacation! We’re going to Destin, Florida, to spend a week at the beach with our friends and their two children, and I can’t wait! We did this same trip last year, so I am fully prepared for everything, including the dreaded 13 hour drive! [...]
No, I Don’t Work…But, is it Harder to Stay Home?
Yesterday Jenny discussed some of the challenges (read post here) that working moms face. Today, I’d like to talk about the other side — how hard it is to NOT work. I recently heard a commercial that included this phrase, “I’m a working mom so…is perfect for me.” A working mom? Hmmm…What does that make me? I [...]
