This is 27!
This is 27! After a fantastic birthday weekend, I am ready to take on 27 like a rock star! The past few years, I’ve looked at my birthdays in a reflective way. Spending time thinking about what I’ve done and what I want to do. But not this year. This year I’m ready to make things happen! There have been so many changes in my life over the last few years, most of them out of my control. But this last year, the changes have been all mine. I feel like things are going non-stop this morning and I’m definitely… Read More -
Caroline’s Best of Nashville
Nashville is one of my favorite places on earth. Nashville was where I went to heal and to get away from the hurt and pain that I felt in Dallas after my dad passed. I wanted to be creative, to sing, to write music and try something new. Nashville was the place I could do those things. I loved living there and I miss it all the time, but my real home is in Dallas, with the morning show, Kidd’s Kids and of course, my besties. Even though I was in Nashville for 9 months, my bestie, Nicole never visited… Read More -
Thank You for a Great 2016!
Thank You! 2016. I didn’t get a tattoo, I didn’t move to a new city, and I didn’t dye my hair lighter like I have the last couple of years. But this year was definitely a year of growth. I started this blog, I was promoted to CEO of Kidd’s Kids and I’m now a… Read More -
Kidd’s Kids Trip – 25th Anniversary!
Thanksgiving is over and I think I’ve finally recovered from the Kidd’s Kids trip. The 5 days I spend with our Kidd’s Kids families is the most exhausting, exhilarating and emotional week of my year and I love every minute! I’ve been on this trip more times than I can count but it’s such a different experience for me now. I am so honored to be able to continue the legacy of Kidd’s Kids and am still amazed at all the wonderful partnerships we’ve made. 10 years with Southwest Airlines, 5 years with Raising Cane’s and 2 years with Enchanted… Read More -
Lightning Round – Caroline Kraddick Edition
Lightning Round! One of the things I love about celebrity articles and interviews is the lightning round. The questions force them to think on their feet and I love how it gives you insight to their personalities. Celebrities … they’re just like us! Right? Anyway, I’ve always wanted to do a lightning round and since Entertainment Tonight hasn’t called for my celebrity interview, I asked a few friends to come up with some questions. I’m sure they stole them from other interviews! Also, this whole idea is probably slow-motion lame but I still thought it would be fun! And I… Read More -
Tomorrow is Kidd’s Kids Day
Tomorrow is Kidd’s Kids Day. After nearly 25 years of attending the Kidd’s Kids trip as a friend to the kids and later, an unofficial volunteer, I’m now on the other side. Even though I’m the original Kidd’s Kid, I’m not sure I ever saw myself in this place. It’s almost surreal to now be running the charity I’ve literally been involved with since birth. Kidd’s Kids has always been a part of my life and I always knew it would be. My dad founded the charity in honor of his baby and now it’s my baby. And I see… Read More -
Memories of Kidd’s Kids
We’re just about 6 weeks out from the Kidd’s Kids Trip and getting ready for Kidd’s Kids Day next week. Kidd’s Kids is completely on my mind! I’ve been going on the Kidd’s Kids trip on and off my entire life. Kidd’s Kids started from very humble beginnings with a couple of kids and their parents, in a van headed to San Antonio to visit Sea World. With the love and support of our listeners, we’ve grown to over 50 children and their entire families, on a Southwest charter plane for an all expenses paid trip to Disney World. Crazy,… Read More -
Dating Detox – Caroline Kraddick
I have a question. Has dating always been this hard or is it harder now with social media? Because it feels like it’s really hard. And just when I think I have it figured out, my dating life implodes and once again, I’m complaining to my friends. And I’m guessing they’ve had about enough because over the weekend, they suggested I try a Dating Detox! First, let me tell you where this all started. Within the span of 24 hours, I got multiple texts from a friend’s EX-boyfriend. Then I found out that 2 of the guys I’ve been “talking”… Read More -
Emotions in New Orleans
Emotions are a weird thing. You go into something expecting to feel one way and then you find out you feel completely different. I’m in New Orleans today for a Kidd’s Kids golf tournament. The same tournament my dad was at when he passed away nearly 3 years ago. And I’m flooded with emotions. Just not the ones that I thought I would be. New Orleans was one of my dad’s favorite cities. There’s so much to do and see. It’s rich with history and tradition and completely filled with life. Exactly like my dad was. He loved New Orleans… Read More -
A Heavy Heart In Dallas
Today is not supposed to be this day. Today, I’m supposed to post a blog about something fun and lighthearted. Today, I’m supposed to be on my way home from Grand Cayman to Dallas. I’m supposed to be spending the weekend in Dallas, in my city, with my friends. I should be deciding where we’re gonna hang out tonight. But instead, I’m getting on a plane to go back to Dallas with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes. It’s been a rough week for our country. We lost 2 black men due to needless violence and then lost… Read More -
Wediquette – How To Be A Good Wedding Guest
I’ve been told that as you get older, it becomes a beating to have to attend wedding after wedding, but I love it! It’s actually a fun way to spend a Saturday night, especially if it’s with a big group of friends. I went to my best friend in the whole world’s sister’s wedding in Austin a couple weeks ago. All my University of Texas friends that I loved visiting in college were there and it felt like a big reunion. I’ve been invited to over 12 weddings this summer. I’m in a few and I’ve been asked to sing… Read More -
From a C to a K
Caroline Cradick. It’s who I’ve been for 26 years. But lately I’ve been thinking about making a change. And change can be good. As most dads do, my dad spent his entire life trying to protect me. In the process of sharing his life with his listeners, he naturally shared a lot of mine. And I never really minded because he was usually pretty good about sharing me without forcing me into the limelight. But there came a time when I wanted to be more than just “Kidd Kraddick’s Daughter”. I just wanted to be Caroline. During my teen years,… Read More
