S U M M E R F U N ! Summer is here and many moms find themselves scrambling to find things to do with their kids, places to go and the kicker, trying to find all that without going broke. Trying to entertain kids all summer can be challenging for some moms. I get it, I've been there, and well, I am still there.  😂 If you live in the DFW area or will be visiting soon, you should go check out the Dallas Moms Blog. It has great guides to jump start some fun adventures for you and your family this summer. Click on the link below to find their Guide of things to do in the month of June. https://dallas.citymomsblog.com/dallas-moms-need-to-know-a-guide-to-the-month-of-june/ My girls and I always enjoy going into Dallas to visit the Art Museum.  When we are done we usually go grab some lunch from the food trucks that are lined up by Klyde Warren Park, right outside the art museum. It's relaxing and the food is so yummy! Happy Summer!

I finally decided to see what the fuss was all about. I had been hearing about this place for what seemed like forever. In reality, probably over a month, but still. The school year is almost up and before the crowds came out, I decided to take my girls to Candytopia. I mean what child doesn't wish they could see a real life Willy Wonka Factory, right? Well, this isn't that exactly, but it's still pretty neat. I love anything whimsical, and to me this was whimsical. The art exhibit was impressive. Every handmade art work let you know: How many pieces of candy it took; What candy was used; How many hours it took the artist; and How many calories all the pieces of candy totaled. Some were hung on the walls, others were part of the exhibit. We were allowed to touch them and they felt kinda cool. Here are few of mine and my girls favorite art pieces: This tree kinda of reminded me of the evil apple tree on the Wizard of Oz.
