Treat the Family at Fogo de Chão in Dallas!

By

Have you ever been to a Fogo de Chão restaurant? We were recently invited to experience the newest Fogo de Chão in Uptown Dallas, Texas. We had a terrific night and received a complimentary meal in exchange for our thoughts and opinions on our experience. I had not been to Fogo de Chão since my husband and I went for our 3rd anniversary, which was 10 years ago! All that I remember is that I was pregnant with our oldest son and I could not get enough of the caramelized bananas and polenta! My View Post

Super Hero Sandwich – Treat Dad This Father’s Day! {Printable, Too!}

By

Super Hero Sandwich - Treat Dad This Father's Day was brought to you by Smithfield.  All opinions are mine. My husband, Ben, is a self proclaimed sandwich lover. I have honestly never met anyone who loves sandwiches as much as he does. He has had aspirations, in fact, to open up a sandwich shop, because he knows exactly what it takes to make *the* perfect sandwich. So, it was a bit daunting to make this super hero sandwich for him, but the View Post

Incredibles 2 Spoiler Free Review + Activity Pages

By

I was able to see a press screening of Incredibles 2, big thanks to Disney! All photos courtesy of Disney. Did you know that The Incredibles came out 14 years ago? I really had no clue it was that long ago! I did not have kids 14 years ago, but my boys have watched the DVD quite a few times over the years. It is definitely one of our favorites to watch. The boys love the action, the humor, and well, the superheroes! View Post

THE Best Gift for a Music Loving Dad for Father’s Day (That Doubles as a Gift for Mom!)

By

Music has always been something that we enjoy as a family. Sure we all have our different favorites, but we usually can agree on a song to listen to. When in the car, I let everyone have a turn choosing a song. The boys have headphones, but my husband I do not really have the luxury of being able to plug something in our ears because well, we need to be aware of our surroundings and our children at all times. That is precisely why the Bose® - View Post

Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet – A Cool, Sweet Summer Treat

By

Ahhh summer!  My kids are all about playing in the water, soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying cold sweet treats like ice cream and sorbet. For some reason, I was buying store-bought sorbet for the kids, when I did not realize just how easy it was to make it myself. I made this delicious Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet in minutes with the Vitamix E310 Explorian Series Blender. View Post

10 Reasons Why It Is Necessary To Be Alert While Parenting Boys

By

I grew up the little sister of two older brothers. I was never super girly, but at the same time, would not call myself a tomboy. I never was a daredevil, did not really care for sports as a child, and being dirty was not my favorite thing, either. I am overjoyed that I am a boy mom, though, and these things have changed! Well, except the daredevil part.  That will never be me. Seriously. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride at Disney World is about View Post
