Share the love! In the wake of tragic events this week, both in Boston and closer to home in West, it’s easy to feel helpless. But we are not powerless, as so beautiful written in the words of my friend, Dawn Cole. We have so many opportunities right now to nurture compassion and volunteerism in [...]

Share the love! We covered a bunch of kid-friendly events at Fiesta already. At least almost all  of our favorites. The Fort Sam Houston Fiesta carnival was (sad panda face) cancelled due to budget cuts. But I had some more to say! And here is the nitty gritty on each… Alcohol Free events 1.    Fiesta [...]

Share the love! My familia. Not big on crowds. So, I’ve come up with a few ideas for creating our own Fiesta celebration this year… Nothing says Fiesta like big food.

Share the love! A long time ago…in a place far away… Candy Cupcake, with her chocolate icing curls, called to Sandy Sweettooth. But wait, before Sandy can get too close, the Good Tooth Fairy shows up on the scene. “Don’t you know the lady is a cavity?” she calls. As she drags Sandy away, she [...]

Share the love! It’s 8:15 a.m. School starts at 8:45 a.m. and the kid still isn’t out of bed. How in the world will he be able to get up, get dressed, eat, brush his teeth, grab his books, get in the car and still make it to school before the tardy bell rings? And, [...]
