Just a few weeks ago, I was that mom who sat down to write about how she wasn’t ready for summer to end and how the start of this new school year had snuck up on her. That realization that our free and unstructured summer was coming to a close seems like eons ago, although…
I haven’t done a Stitch Fix review in a while. I’ve been getting regular Stitch Fix boxes but I’ve been so absolutely unhappy with them that I haven’t even wanted to pose for pictures in the clothes…yes, they’ve been that bad. But before you click exit because you think you’re going to read a rant,…
2018 has been an amazing year at the movies so far and there’s so much more to come. I posted the schedule of Disney movie releases for the year in January, which seems like just a couple of weeks ago. It’s been so fun to anticipate the release of each awesome Disney, Lucas Films and Marvel Studios…
I recently returned from my San Antonio to Santa Fe road trip with my kids (#SA2SF.) If you’re new to my blog, I took my kids out of school a couple of days early to take them on a three-week long road trip through the Southwest United States. You can see all my #SA2SF posts…
Toy Story Land (affectionately known as “The Land” by Walt Disney World insiders) is now open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I had the opportunity to attend the media preview just prior to opening week and I have the inside scoop on Toy Story Land for you here. Thank you to Disney for providing tickets and…
Disney’s Christopher Robin will hit theaters on August 3rd. Pooh was a big part of my growing up years and, while my kids certainly know who Pooh and all of his Hundred Acre Wood Friends are, I don’t think they really appreciate the magic and the nuances of these beloved characters…even though I’ve been quite…
If your kids love dinosaurs as much as my kids love dinosaurs, the San Antonio Zoo is the place for you this summer. From May 26th until August 26th, the San Antonio Zoo transforms into Zoorassic Park. More than a dozen prehistoric creatures have come to the zoo, challenging us to “rethink extinct.” Zoorassic Park…
“Being a mother is not about what you gave up to have a child, but what you’ve gained from having one,” said someone once. That someone wasn’t me. I love my kids and I wouldn’t trade any of them for anything. My life would be substantially less full without them. It would also be substantially…
I think I’ve inadvertently become a Star Wars nerd and I kind of like it. I just watched the Teaser Trailer for SOLO – A STAR WARS STORY and I might have let out a little yelp of excitement. It’s really going to be good, y’all. Update: New trailer released as of May 4, 2018!…
It’s been a long time since I’ve written a real, raw, bare my soul adoption post. Some of you might think this blog has gotten a little bit “commercial.” A little bit less “real.” Today is real. We’re talking about how to handle hearing “You’re not my real mom.” The truth is, adoption isn’t the…
