Texoma with Kids

Getting gifts for teachers are tough – especially in preschool where they have SEVERAL teachers, not just one. These are my top 3 favorite, quick yet personalized presents for easy wins. I’ve done both the plants and the EOS lip balms before and I can say they were a hit! 1.) EOS Lip Balm Cards…

Starbuck’s Skinny Peppermint Mocha is not just my favorite holiday drink, but my favorite coffee drink period. I have been known to order it year-round, but for about the last two years or so, they discontinued the sugar-free peppermint syrup, which really increased the sugar and calorie count. SO, I finally came up with a…

Husbands, you ask it every year. What do you want for Christmas? And if she’s like me, your wife avoids and delays and eventually comes up with a short Amazon wish list she sends you in an email. Let me let you in on some secrets – The reason this is such a belabored process…

I’ve been a member of the Junior League of Wichita Falls since 2012, so I’ve had the pleasure of helping volunteer for SIX Christmas Magic events.

It’s a cliche, but being a parent really makes you look at things differently. It really makes you think about how your parents did things and how you have done/plan to do them. A brief history: Easter 2016: Five Months Old For Teddy’s first Easter, we went all out. The kid wore a full suit…

We will be bundling them into packs of four, so there will be ten chances to win for your…

I have to admit, I will be the very last person to say “there’s nothing to do in Wichita Falls!” because I know there is SO MUCH this community has to offer. But I have to say, this week, after quite a bit of digging, I didn’t find a whole lot of free, family-friendly events…
