I feel bad writing this review because the staff at this hotel was so very nice and the central location great, but this is not a hotel I plan to return to, and here’s why. On first glance, you’d think the Doubletree would be a great choice for a place to stay when...
I took a girls’ trip with my then 10-year-old to Southern California. It wasn't really planned to be just the two of us, but it happened to unfold that way and turned into one of the best vacations ever! We hit up the usual parks (Disney, Universal Studios) and while...
Looking for dog-friendly dining in Estes Park? We’ve been there and done that. Here are the places my pups were made welcome.
Taos, New Mexico was a bucket list trip for me. Having spent some time in Santa Fe, I had a hunch that Taos would be a similar win for the Perot Family vacation. I already knew that it was a pet-friendly town – which was important as we were traveling with ALL of the...
This is an UNbiased review of The Friends Experience Dallas. I bought my own tickets to attend and all opinions are my own. Raise your hand if: You or any of your friends – or both -- had “the Rachel” haircut in the 90’s When you’re moving furniture, you can’t resist...

I dare you to spot me out in the wild without a cup of coffee in my hand (unless it's after 5 and then you know, we switch to wine). Oh how I luuuuv a great cup of coffee. It's my eternal wish to be able to replicate that coffee house taste at home -- and trust me,...
“I’ve never experienced anything like that before in my life.” Can I just tell you how difficult it is to get a statement like that out of my husband? He’s been talking up our visit to the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, to everyone. It was initially a...
The Yard Milkshake Bar is OPEN in The Colony, Texas and you need to go get you one because it’s all that. Trust me. If extreme desserts are your thing, you need to go get in line because The Yard Milkshake Bar is a culinary experience. And when I say "get in line," I...
Are you looking for a dog-friendly hotel in Taos, New Mexico? We took two pups and one teenager to Hotel Don Fernando. Here’s how it went.
Do you try and find the art when you're traveling? We do, and our recent trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama found us exploring the Coastal Arts Center of (nearby) Orange Beach. Here's a quick tour of what you can find there and why it should be on your bucket list of things...
If you love all things Christmas you might be tempted to drop in to North Pole Christmas Village on Pike’s Peak. My recommendation – dont.
Texas got its first Teso Life store and I shopped on its grand opening day! This Japanese specialty store has so many fun things to try, I could have spent the whooollle day there. Come along with me as I put my shopping list together and then unbox all the...
If Texas's wild weather in February had any upside for me at all, it was that I had lots of time to binge-watch all the crafting videos. I'm a junkie for all the how-to's for dollar store craft supplies, but it's painful that there's no dollar store near me! But I do...
