It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! That is the movie I’ve pretty much watched every October since I was a kid and also this year’s theme of the Pumpkin Village at the Dallas Arboretum! The Pumpkin Village always makes me feel like it’s finally, actually, officially Fall in Texas – even if it’s approximately …
Y’all know I love me some Texas. We traveled all over Texas this summer, and today I want to share some of my personal favorite Texas getaways. It helps that these are all within easy driving distance of Dallas, too, making them perfect for a long weekend. Some of these are perpetual Texas favorites…others might …
A few weeks ago, I visited Lubbock, Texas for the first time. Aside from the two times I’ve driven across Texas between Dallas and southern California, I haven’t spent any time in west Texas. And I had certainly never made the drive to Lubbock before (it’s beautiful, by they way…in some parts, stunningly so!). I’ve …
One of my favorite day trips from Dallas is to visit Glen Rose, Texas. About an hour and forty five minutes outside of Dallas, it’s kind of a trek to get there but not so far you can’t do it in a day. And it’s home to one of our favorite Texas attractions…Fossil Rim! Here’s …
My family attended a media weekend hosted by the Great Wolf Lodge. All opinions are my own. The Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas, has been on my kids’ wish list for ages. We’ve driven by it, their friends have been and told the tales of its awesomeness, and they’ve heard us promise over and …
We rounded out our Epic Summer of Travel with a road trip to Kansas City, and I’ve got to say that Kansas City knocked it out of the park. Not only was it clean and pretty, but it also had a super friendly and creative vibe that I just loved. AND! There were lots of …
It’s been awhile we left for our Carnival Cruise aboard the Carnival Breeze out of Galveston, Texas. My whole family loved our trip – it was so, so, so much fun (see below for all the posts about our trip!). But today I want to share all of the logistical information I thought might be …
Earlier this month we visited Florida for the first time. We stayed for five days in the Florida Keys and then had an extra day tacked on at the end. Super, duper, extra last minute, we decided to drive up to Orlando and do Universal Studios because why not, right? I mean, when in Florida…! …
One of my goals is to visit all 50 states. One thing I’ve learned about traveling in our country is that each state can be so different from the next. Sometimes you cross a border into a new state and can just feel the energy and vibe change, and I love that about our country! …
Today I want to get a little deep with you guys. I want to take a break from healthy recipes and printables and talk about something that has changed. my. life. And the reason I want to talk about is that I think it can change your life, too…and so I’m hoping to present it …
