The devastating, history-making tornadoes that hit Moore, OK on May 9, 1999 took 41 lives. As of this morning, at least 24 deaths (7 of which are children) have been reported from the EF4 tornadoes that once again ripped through Moore. There are no words that can express our sadness for our neighboring state to the [...]
Dallas’ Top Sweet Treats
I have a sweet tooth. In fact, my kid was carefully crafted from sugar and pasta during that first trimester of pregnancy. So, it’s probably not a big surprise that he adores sweet treats, too. Although it may not be the most healthy decision, there’s something about long summer nights that scream “special sweet treat”. [...]
Summer Fun at the Dallas Arboretum
When I first became a mom, one of the most common pieces of advice I’d received was to buy a membership to the Arboretum. Each time this phrase was repeated, I’d secretly roll my eyes and sarcastically mutter “Sure!” Because as a new mom (who obviously knew it all based on the record number of [...]
Want to Lower Stress? Maybe You Need More…Kids??!!??!!
Call me crazy but I’ve been telling friends for as long as I’ve been a mother of four (almost 2 years)…that having four children is actually easier than having one, two, or three. Friends laugh. (They think I’m joking.) Strangers scoff. (They think I’m lying.) But, I firmly believe it’s true. So, when I found [...]
Lani Khong Photography
Photography is one of my favorite forms of art. To me, it is inspiring to look at a single moment captured and try to discover the emotion of that slice of time. After attending an event or having a professional photography session done, my favorite thing to do is to see an outsider’s prospective and [...]

Mini Corn Dog Bites
It’s becoming increasingly hard to find things that my 18-month-old son will eat. My once-fearless eater has morphed into the picky toddler we all dread. Many a meal has ended as a pile of mush spat from his mouth onto his highchair tray. One thing I know he loves is hot dogs, so I’ve been [...]
Visiting SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium
One of the great things about living in Dallas is the variety of activities we have right here in town. There is so much to see and do, from the Dallas World Aquarium, to the Lacerte Family Children’s Zoo, to the Frontiers of Flight Museum. My toddler is just now old enough to start really [...]
LEGOLAND Discovery Center: A Young Builder’s Dream
My oldest son has a dream. Some children want to be football players, firemen, race car drivers…. Well, not my six-year-old. No, he wants to be a LEGO® Master Builder. He l-o-v-e-s LEGOS® and so do his siblings. And, that’s why he (and my other three children) were chomping at the bit to go to [...]
