My dad drove in from Austin late this afternoon for a quick visit with the kids. It's about an eleven hour drive and not a pretty one, but my dad was set on coming so I figured, who am I to argue? The drive was I am sure tiring and he'll have…

Elephants, and Tigers, and Clowns – Oh My!
I was recently offered complimentary tickets by some folks over at the Sprint Center. Apparently, they view me as an influential mommy blogger and wanted to extend me an invitation to attend the Ringling Brothers Circus with my family. I was sure I'd never hear the end of it if…

One last hurrah!
Tonight we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's as a surprise before N heads to Pre-K on Tuesday. The kids had a blast. I ended up running into a friend from church so that was nice. Other than that we enjoyed the pizza, games and of course getting to…

Five Things: Summer fun.
In today's edition of Five Things I'm naming my top five to-dos before summer officially comes to a close. I can't believe I'm actually saying that! I haven't had enough use of my flip-flops yet! I'm praying I can still wear them in October. Yeah, right! The kids and I…

Field trippin’.
Where do I begin? Today was a super-cool day for the kids, my mom, and I. First, we started out by driving over to catch the MAX bus over to Crown Center Square. Riding the bus would've been enough excitement in and of itself. Seriously. The boys were SO, SO,…

Hot August Nights (and Days)!
Sometimes it's just too steamy to get outside, but we somehow still find time to sit and enjoy the outdoors from inside.
