There are a lot of articles and blog posts on the internet about motherhood, right? There is plenty written about the stress of parenting, about the different styles of parenting (Helicopter versus Free Range versus whatever else they’ve come up with this week), and about how to manage stress, time and picky eaters.

I love everything about Disney. One of my favorite things about Disney is character dining. We do at least one Disney character dining experience each time we visit Disney World. I tell myself that we need to enjoy these types of experiences before my kids get too old or too cool to enjoy them but…
When I was preparing for our trip to Decatur Texas last year and sorting through different options for family activities, I was surprised to learn there was a tiger sanctuary near Dallas, specifically in Bridgeport Texas. Decatur and Bridgeport are technically a part of the Dallas Fort Worth Metro area, although this is about an…
The one thing I love about Texas is how vast it is and how much there is to explore. Actually, there’s more than one thing I love about Texas. From a Traveler’s perspective, I love the diversity of the landscapes, the cities, and the things to do. We have beaches, we have piney woods, we…
