San Antonio Busy Kids

On Friday, I had the most amazing experience with robots. Frankly, I thought the last robot showcase I went to was – at best – a little boring. But Friday, it was all sit-on-the-edge-of-your-chair excitement watching my son compete in a Sumo-Bot competition. It is just as it sounds. Two robots heading towards each other [...]

Last month, I was invited to preview SeaWorld San Antonio’s new summer entertainment line up. The shows were fun, the catering fabulous and the puns clever, but what I was really interested in was the park’s adventure camp.  The whole story as to why is here on MySA.com.

If you’re like me, the weather’s too hot and my checkbook’s too light. So this Fourth of July, we’re skipping the big trip and taking a San Antonio staycation. Okay – the real reason is that I waited until tonight to find something to do for the family. Bad mommy moment.  I blogged about it [...]

Honestly, it’s not often you see the words gifted, camp and San Antonio area all in the same sentence.  I know. I’ve looked.

Good news:  you don’t have to go that far.  There are several camps within driving [...]

About two weeks ago, I sent out an all-call to camps all over San Antonio to complete a short survey.  My favorite response … San Antonio ACE Academy. When I was in elementary school, we performed “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”  I was (typecast as) Lucy.  The role I really wanted was Snoopy because [...]

Just picked up this deal on Twitter from @ActingUpCDA.  Special: sign up for 4 two-week sessions and instead of $380 per 2 week session, it is only $150/week.
