Toys have come such a long way since the days I was a kid.  It’s actually been really interesting being on the other side of the story now that I’m a parent buying toys for my kids!  Recently, I was able to get my hands on the Moose Toys Magic Mixies Crystal Ball, this year’s winner of the 2022 Creative Toy of the Year award. The packaging is colorful, vibrant, and hints at a magic spell that made my kids super excited to open up their Magic Mixie Magical Crystal Ball to try it out for themselves!  They quickly opened up the box in the playroom and got it ready without any hel ..read more

Aging is inevitable and looking back, I love seeing how much growth and change has happened during that time.  I turned 40 years old last year, and while part of me is thinking that is SO OLD , another part of me feels like I’m still just as energetic and youthful as I was in my 20s. I have noticed that my face has started to reflect those years, and to be sure, my kids also love pointing out every new wrinkle that they find!  I’ve never been one to shy away from injectables and have always believed that as long as you do your research when it comes to product and find an experienc ..read more

Almost 6 years ago, we moved into our current home.  It was actually a big adjustment as we transitioned from a newly-built 4-story modern condo in the hip Knox/Henderson neighborhood of Dallas into a 1968 single-story home in a sleepy North Dallas neighborhood that was bordering suburbia.  We knew moving into this home that there would be several remodeling projects on our todo list, but top priority for me was updating the floors!  All the bedrooms had dingy carpeting in place, and combined with the low ceilings, it made the space feel smaller than it really was. I am actual ..read more
