Father's Day will be here before you know it. Dad's day, is very different from Mother's Day in that mom wants to be pampered, showered with love, gifts and attention. Dad not so much. Dad wants to be left alone to do dad things. Cooking out, dad is always down to throw down with a good barbecue, sit in front of the television to watch the game, there will be some sort of game on, just hand him th

I never make recommendations or suggestions to try something unless I've done it first. So thankfully I was at Cinergy the other day and discovered that they are bringing back kids' movies again this summer. This saved us last summer. It was great and my littles were able to go watch almost every movie offered summer of 2021. I loved that they were able to watch movies that they had possibly seen

Summer is almost here. For many families, it is time to get that vacation time in at work and take the family on a summer vacation that all will enjoy. Or in some cases, families take quick, weekend trips just to get out of dodge. I get both and our family does both. Sometimes, spur of the moment, you just want to find a place to get away and unwind for a few days.

I know a thing or two about kids getting bored during the summer months. I should, I have 3 kids. I have raised one and currently have a teen at home who will before long start with the typical 'I'm bored' pleas. Over the years I've learned, it is not enough to have the latest, greatest gaming system, every game for said system known to man. The newest Iphone or tablet won't do the trick either. I

School's out for summer! Almost. For some, the final day of school is this week followed by graduation. For others, there is one more grueling week left. Parents, I'm sure we all wish we could say it will be smooth sailing from here but as a mother of 3, I can safely say, that is absolutely not the case. A parent's job does not end when school does.

Have you heard of anyone saying, "Hey we are going to Midland/Odessa for vacation?" The answer to that is probably, NO! Unless someone is coming to visit family or it's a big holiday, I think people go to other places for a vacation. Or, they don't have a desire to watch pump jacks and play in the dirt...

I have stated many times both on-air and in many an article how much I dislike summer. It is 100% my least favorite season of all. You have heard me say everything from the fact that I sweat profusely (some would argue this is not exactly a bad thing, it rids your body of toxins) to I hate being hot, to mosquitoes not being my friends. I am theirs but the feeling is not mutual. Where there is a Re

Here are a few of the top picks on Amazon for an electric lawnmower, plus some accessories we found that will help your lawnmower stick around for the long haul.

It is about that time to start planning your family's summer vacation. School will be out in just about a month and the fam will be hitting the road soon for a vacation destination of your choosing. Let me help you decide where to go. I have been to 2 of the 3 indoor waterparks I am about to suggest.

So the first official day of summer isn't until June 21st, but let's be real, we have had quite a few hot days this month already. What's a person to do when those temps hit triple-digits? Native Texans know that it is only a matter of time before the dog days of summer hit and we are scrambling in this West Texas heat to find creative ways to stay cool.
