North Texas
“Texas is neither southern nor western. Texas is Texas.” -Senator William Blakley
There’s something so comfortable about Texas. It’s the people, it’s the land, it’s the food, it’s the sweet tea, it’s the music. I love living here and want to show you some of our amazing places to visit!
Self-guided art and architecture tour of DFW
Guess what I’m doing this week. Taking a vacation (YAY) but we aren’t going anywhere (BOO), thank you COVID-19. It’s not awful, I mean DFW is a pretty fabulous place to live and lots of people come here to visit, so I can actually pretend to be a tourist and take a...
A Round-up of North Texas Farmers Markets
One of the best things about summer is the Saturday morning tradition of shopping the local farmers market. If you've never been, a farmers market is (typically) an outdoor, temporary event where local growers come and set up a booth to sell directly to shoppers....
Minefaire: The #1 Minecraft Event is Coming to Dallas!
This giveaway is sponsored by Minefaire. All opinions are my own. I know a lot of you parents have a love-hate relationship with the video games your kids play. I get that, I am that, but there's one game that I wholeheartedly endorse for my nearly 11 yo girl and...
Virtual Summer Camps Roundup
Whether we like it or not, 2020 changed how we socialize. Maybe you’re not quite ready to send the kids off to an in-person summer camp, but heaven knows you’ve got to have something for them to do! Much like schools had to pivot for online learning, many camps have...
DFW Spring Break Ideas
Whoa. Spring Break. Where did you come from? If you’re like me and Spring Break is all of a sudden here, you’re going to need a go-to list of things to do when the kids are out of soccer camp and tired of playing around the house. No doubt you will soon be...

Divine Consign’s Plano Consignment Pop-up Event!
This post is sponsored by Divine Consign. All opinions are my own. "Mom, my toes hurt in these shoes." Ugh. THE WORST WORDS EVER. It's the first chip to fall in the domino effect that means new basketball shoes, new outdoor cleats, new indoor soccer shoes, then new...
Fridays Find: Frisco’s Boxcar House
Y’all, I know you love your farmhouse décor. Throw in some evolved industrial chic and your heart probably beats a little faster. Well, stop driving to Waco and watching HGTV for inspiration. Frisco has our own little mecca for all of the things. It’s almost like a...
The Best Independent Coffee Shops in North Texas
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,...
Lazy Dog Restaurants Menu – Great for the WHOLE family!
This post is sponsored by Lazy Dog Restaurants. All opinions are my own. Jackson Hole, Wyoming is a bucket list trip for me, and but I feel like I had a little slice of that heaven recently when I discovered Lazy Dog Restaurants right here in North Texas. Chris Simms,...

Hey y’all!
I’m lucky to live in a state that’s filled with a million miles of places to go – in fact, I barely need to leave North Texas to find the fun! Here are some of my favorite places to share with my family.
