Fort Worth Moms

College football season has arrived, and in Fort Worth, that means the Horned Frog spirit is in the air. TCU started an initiative, Go Purple Friday, to get the entire community involved. Businesses, if they so choose, can provide a special discount to customers on select Fridays -- the only caveat is that you must wear purple! Without further ado, here are our top Go Purple Friday picks, selected with the Tarrant County mama in mind. 

Giving has been the theme of September -- and rightly so -- as so much devastation has wrecked our state thanks to Harvey and our friends impacted by Irma. Yet, this North Texas Day of Giving, we do not need to grow weary in giving, but further challenge ourselves to be generous with our time, efforts, and money.

Whether you are out-of-towners (howdy, y'all) or locals making the most of a staycation, we've found a great, family-friendly hotel right in the heart of the Stockyards: The brand spankin' new Courtyard Marriott Fort Worth Historic Stockyards.

We’ve polled social media, sent out the call for local photogs, and are happy to present the “Guide to Local Photographers.” We hope it is a helpful resource as you make photography decisions for your family. 

From plays, to farmers markets, to the State Fair, a lot is happening in this first month of autumn.

These are real, tangible ways parents in Tarrant County and surrounding areas can assist the recovery and emergency efforts happening in DFW and in southeast Texas.

Summer may be almost over, but that's just the more reason to grab your kids and make some summer memories to last the whole school year.
