I had the opportunity to sneak away with my husband for a kid-free trip to Los Angeles to celebrate the big 4-0. What better way to celebrate getting old than something that makes you feel young? We were thrilled to visit Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, located little more than a 10 minute drive from Disneyland in Anaheim. 
So. Much. Charm! I dropped in at Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café mid-morning on a Monday, and right away, I knew this restaurant was something special. I thought my daughter and I would have the place to ourselves... you know, with it being Monday and 36 degrees and all. But there were couples sitting together drinking coffee, two groups of lady friends enjoying a brunch with spirited conversation and laughter, and other patrons who were dining alone and quietly savoring the energetic vibe of this place.
Moms, it's time for a little talk. We deserve a break. A break from cooking, from cleaning, from car line, from grocery shopping, from after-school sports, from the gym, from work, from kids... a break from your every day. We've earned it and we deserve it! At least this is what you need to tell yourself as you explain away why Disney without kids sounds like a good idea. My friends and I broke free for a quick weekend trip to visit The Mouse and there are plenty of reasons why Walt Disney World might just be the perfect destination for your next girls' weekend!
My family recently returned from a fun visit to LEGOLAND® Discovery Center in Grapevine, just north of Dallas. If you have preschool to early elementary brick fanatics at home, you'll want to consider a visit to one of the ultimate LEGO® playgrounds! Smaller than the LEGOLAND® theme parks, the Dallas/Fort Worth LEGOLAND® Discovery Centers features over ten attractions - from rides to building opportunities to amazing showcase displays - all included in your ticket price.
Of all the family attractions in the greater Dallas area, one that has been most recommended to me to try is The Perot Museum of Nature and Science. Located in Downtown Dallas, the six year old museum sparkles with intrigue and excitement. My family was thrilled to explore and experience all the museum had to offer over the Thanksgiving 2018 holiday.
If you hate clipping and organizing paper coupons, there are great smartphone app alternatives that can save you big at the grocery store (and in some cases even make a little extra money!). Simply check out the apps below before (and even after!) your trip to the store to select the available coupons you like. Offers may be limited by time or quantity and most can be used in conjunction with other coupons. You earn cash back by redeeming those coupons, scanning the product UPC code and scanning your receipt. 
It is only fitting that one of the first exhibits you experience at The DoSeum, San Antonio's Museum for Kids, is a set of spinning, mirrored columns. This simple, interactive feature immediately sets the tone for your visit: engaging, whimsical and full of giggles. I had a wonderful first visit to The Doseum - learning, creating and exploring - and want to share my favorite experiences!
