My kids started school this week. I have all the feels about school starting, ranging from “OMG get these kids out of my house right now” to “I’m totally not ready for summer to be over.” And everything in between. Honestly, I feel like I fell short as a mom this summer. We didn’t do…
People, please teach your kids not to be jerks. Please. Don’t let your kids be jerks. This is my son Zack. He’s seven and getting ready to start second grade. He has a limb difference, which means not having part or all of a limb. As you can see, Zack’s right hand is not completely…
Being a San Antonio girl, I’m a lover of anything Tex-Mex. My idea of a perfect Friday night is dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant and letting someone else do the cooking and the dishes.

Every time the new school year rolls around, I’m completely amazed (and a little bummed) at how fast the summer goes. My kids are ready to learn and they’re already getting caught up in the excitement of new school supplies and new lunch boxes and new teachers. See also they’re already getting the first day…
Have you ever heard of Shiner Texas, population just over 2K? It’s claim to fame is beer, which is brewed in this tiny town and enjoyed all over the world. My husband and I found ourselves sans kids for a full day and evening a little bit unexpectedly and I uttered those five little words,…
Have you ever wanted to have breakfast where giraffes are the guests of honor? If the answer is yes, you need to check out Beastly Breakfast at the San Antonio Zoo. You can dine alongside the gentle giants of the savanna at this exclusive weekly breakfast, which includes an awesome meal, a private feeding opportunity…
