Thanks so much to Great Wolf Lodge for hosting our family! How we love to take a crash family getaway at the Great Wolf Lodge! We are local so overnight packing is easy and leaving the house and animals is not a big deal, but the amount of fun we have at Great Wolf Lodge… [continue reading]

Thanks so much to Great Wolf Lodge for hosting our family! Our family was over-the-top excited to be heading back to Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine for some family fun!

Avila’s Restaurant Dallas Texas
On our fun DART train adventures in Dallas we took the time to walk to Avila’s Restaurant! Before we arrived, I had been expecting authentic Mexican food and was surprised as we walked up to the restaurant that it said “homestyle tex-mex cooking.” I’m not always the biggest fan of Tex-Mex. I guess it depends… [continue reading]
Travel Dallas by DART Train
Riding the DART train on a Dallas adventure with the kids has long been on my list, but I had been nervous to tackle it by myself with five kids. My husband Jason works in Dallas so heading back on his days off hasn’t been a high priority. My adventurous sister Miriam and her son… [continue reading]
Oh Texas, My Texas
Texas pride! How I love my state! In my younger days (Believe it or not one of my nicknames was “Little Spit Fire.”) I may have been known to get rather…out loud and passionate in discussions about my state. I may or may not have gotten in arguments if someone dared a disparaging remark about… [continue reading]
The Woodshed Smokehouse in Fort Worth, Texas
The Woodshed Smokehouse in Fort Worth, Texas is a MUST! My husband Jason gave me gift cards quite some time ago. It was supposed to be a date night, but Fort Worth is a bit of a drive from our house, and when I thought of a special date night BBQ wasn’t the cuisine that… [continue reading]
Mommy and Me at Embassy Suites
A huge thanks to Embassy Suites for hosting Joy and me for a night at their Grapevine, Texas location. All opinions are my own.

The LEGO Movie 4D at LEGOLAND Discovery Center
LEGOLAND Discovery Center hosted our family to experience The LEGO Movie 4D A New Adventure. All opinions are my own. Oh how we love 4D movies! That feeling of jumping into the action like you’re really there gets me every time. It is so much fun. So we were beyond excited to get to go… [continue reading]
Spring Break at Medieval Times coupon code!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Medieval Times. All opinions are my own. Would you believe that my husband and kids all spent last night cheering knights at the Medieval Times Dallas Castle without me? Shameful but true! Though it was in fact my fault that I didn’t get to… [continue reading]
Sal’s Pizza Cafe
People often ask me where to eat in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I usually can’t help laughing because of course where to eat will depend greatly on taste in food and other things such as…children! We have five! We love to eat out, but you’ll find most of the places we frequent are kid friendly… [continue reading]
