Krewe de Kidds: A Mardi Gras Masquerade
Krewe de Kidds: A Mardi Gras Masquerade Things I love: Throwing a great party Getting glam Kidd’s Kids And on January 27th, I’m combining all 3! Since my dad founded Kidd’s Kids in 1991, Kidd’s Kids has taken over 1000 children and their families to Walt Disney World. But those kids have always been between the ages of 5 and 12. Don’t get me wrong! I totally love all my babies but I’ve always felt like the bigger kids get left out. That’s how I came up with the idea of the Teen Trip. The Teen Trip was something that… Read More -
I’m Enchanted With Enchant!
Enchanted with Enchant A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about Enchant Christmas, how excited I was that it was coming to Arlington, and how it benefits Kidd’s Kids. Last night I had a chance to check it out in person, and y’all. You have to go! One of the cool things about Enchant is that they partner with charities and donate part of the ticket sales and 100% of the ice skate rentals to charity. Kidd’s Kids was fortunate enough to be one of the charities chosen and last night, they had a special Kidd’s Kids night… Read More -
Enchant Christmas and Kidd’s Kids
Enchant Christmas We’re back from the Kidd’s Kids trip and Thanksgiving is tomorrow, so I think it’s okay to officially start celebrating Christmas! If you’ve seen how I decorate my house for the holidays, you know I LOVE Christmas. I go full out for Christmas – decorations, parties, gifts – I love it all. And that’s why I was so excited when I found out about Enchant! Enchant is The World’s Largest Christmas Light Maze & Market and it’s going to be amazing! Previously, Enchant was in Vancouver but this year it’s moving to Globe Life Park in Arlington for… Read More -
Happy Halloween and Anniversary – Five Star Subaru
Happy Halloween Five Star Subaru is a sponsor of Kidd’s Kids. October has been such a busy month! With Kidd’s Kids Day and prepping for the Kidd’s Kids trip, I’m hoping to enjoy a little down time before we leave! And what better way to wind down than with a turn up for Halloween! (See what I did there?) I loved Halloween as a kid! I still do. But it’s so much fun when you’re a kid because you get to dress up and go trick-or-treating and then The Pumpkin Fairy comes and takes all your candy and leaves you… Read More -
Five Star and Fossil Fest
Fossil Fest Thanks to that “cold” front that came through, the Texas weather is officially perfect. Perfect for going on a run (if that’s your thing), perfect for a patio (which is my thing) and perfect for Fossil Fest! I heard about Fossil Fest from Five Star Subaru, which is one of the sponsors. They’re always doing fun stuff in the community and I’m pretty sure Fossil Fest is going to be a lot of fun! Starting this weekend, Grapevine Parks & Recreation is hosting Fossil Fest at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens. If you know someone who is dino-obsessed, (or… Read More -
Introducing Kraddick & Kemble
There has been SO much going on lately. I just got back from Napa and Release Day at Silver Oak (which I’ll tell you all about soon!), big things going on in the Kraddick Kitchen, The Kidd’s Kids and Music Meets Medicine Therapeutic Arts Room in Memory of Kidd Kraddick and of course Kidd’s Kids Day and the big Kidd’s Kids trip coming up soon! It has been crazy busy around here. So of course I’m going to add something else to the mix! Introducing “Kraddick and Kemble! Obsessed, Unfiltered, Unplugged”. I probably don’t have to tell you who Steve is,… Read More -
Staycation Wrap Up (Or Where To Hang Tonight!)
I know it’s been a while since my last Staycation post but is there a better time for a “where to hang out” post than Friday afternoon? Of course not! So, let’s do this! Lounge 31 Lounge 31 is above the yummy French bistro, Bistro 31 and it’s very different than the ground level restaurant. This isn’t lunch with the girls. It’s yummy sushi and cocktails in a very chic setting. Monday through Saturday from 4-7pm, they have half-off sushi rolls and apps. And on Sundays it’s half-price sushi all day and they have half-price bottles of champagne. I love… Read More -
Staycation Dallas – Let’s Eat!
The Staycation planning continues! Now that you have a few options on where to stay, you have to eat. Dallas has some of the best restaurants in the country and there are so many, you could literally eat out for every single meal for a year and never repeat a restaurant. So, how do you choose? Well, I’m going to give you some of my faves and what to order when you’re there! Town Hearth Town Hearth isn’t just great food, it’s Dallas’ newest hot spot. It can be hard to get in so reservations are a must and try… Read More -
Staycation, Destination Dallas
3 day weekends are the best, especially when you can get out of town for a few days. But what if you want to stick close to home? I’ve always been a fan of “dating your city”. There are so many cool things to do in Dallas, but if you’re a native (or even if you’ve just been here a while!), there’s a good chance you’ve overlooked them. I decided to take a closer look at all the cool things to do in Dallas so on the next long weekend, we can stay and play in Dallas! Hotel ZaZa Small,… Read More -
Hello Summer Social with CultureMap
One of the things I love most about this time of year is the weather! It’s warm enough to hang out but not so hot that you’re sweltering! Perfect patio weather! Y’all know I love a patio. But this time I’m going beyond the patio and taking over the entire block! Kidd’s Kids has partnered with CultureMap and West Village for their “Hello Summer Social” on May 24th and it is going to be SO much fun. I seriously cannot wait! Let me start by telling you a little bit about CultureMap. If you’re not following CultureMap, you’re missing out… Read More -
Savor Dallas, Jen Hatmaker and Me!
Savor Dallas, Jen Hatmaker and me. How could life get any better? Several weeks ago I was invited to Savor Dallas, which, if you don’t know is a huge food festival held each year in Fair Park. But this is not your average Taste of “Fill in big city name here”. Savor Dallas is legit. Only Dallas’ hottest chefs and restaurants are there. And there are samples of wine and beer and cocktails. It’s a food and drink dream! There are several events over 4 days – Opening Night, a cocktail party and a community brunch. But the big event… Read More -
It’s Ladies’ Night at Next Door Dallas!
I’m not much for New Year’s Resolutions but one thing I make a real effort to do every year is stay connected to my girlfriends. The older we get, the harder it is to keep up with your friends. In college, you see your friends every day. But after you graduate, people move and get jobs. We get boyfriends and husbands and kids (well, not me!)… then all of a sudden you can’t remember the last time you saw some of your closest friends! But not this year! This year, make the resolution to spend more time with your girls!… Read More
