If you have kids ages 4 and up, here is a great summer activity.

Kids are already out of school and easing into their summer breaks. At some point, they are going to get tired of their internet capable devices, TV, and air conditioning. Send them out to play!

School's out, so how about an all night skate party? Kids are invited out to this event tonight in Lufkin (May 25th) 7 pm - 7 am Friday morning.

To perform better in school, maybe kids need less time in the classroom. Some Texas schools are gaining attention for tripling the recess time for students, and we're waiting to see if this growing trend catches on in East Texas.

Most kids have these things and they're supposed to reduce stress and help with concentration, but do they work?

If your brood is anything like mine, the first thing the kids do when they walk in the door after school is grab the iPad or the Kindle. Spring is here, kids!  East Texas has plenty of things to do outside, and we're leavin' the house.  Here are just a few ideas.

Texans can come up with some goodies!  Just look at any kindergarten class list, and high five yourself for stamping your kids with some unique, cool, and creative names. A new list is out, and please share your thoughts.  Are the quirkiest baby names in Texas really that quirky?

You've probably seen the Girl Scouts set up outside different stores across East Texas over the past couple of weeks, and their parents may have passed the order form around the office.  How much longer do cookie sales last?

This is the worst part of pet ownership.  We've learned that Harry has major health issues and he's in noticeable pain, and we're faced with that big decision that no dog owner wants to make.  How do you talk to the kids about what's coming?

Looks like 2017 is off to a good start, not so much if you try and break your thumb!

A few more Hatchimals made their way to select stores over the weekend, but they're gone again.  What do Hatchimals do anyway?

It's mean to withhold the magic of Christmas from the kids, and I just couldn't do it any longer. Lights on, tree up. And I've discovered three big reasons besides these girls, why Christmas should always start before Thanksgiving.
