Activities for Kids

Just in time for the Christmas shopping season, these bad boys will satisfy your budding artist's desire to paint while sparing clothes, furniture, kitchen sinks, and your sanity. The smaller version of the solid tempera paint sticks allows for finer "brush" strokes without the mess of teeny, tiny paintbrushes.

The season is here for fall festivals, the state fair, all things pumpkin, and free -- and SAFE -- after-dark trick-or-treating! The Fort Worth Moms Blog (FWMB) has you covered in this edition of "Around Cowtown," from interactive art exhibits to outdoor walks (hello, cooler temps!), and from live music to trucks and pop culture conventions.

I’m not going to fib -- in the beginning, I hid behind my Kindle with a latte and all but wore a sign proclaiming “I AM NOT ONE OF YOU. DON'T TALK TO ME." But three years in, and I have grown to look forward to Saturday mornings with my fellow dance moms. We look out for one another’s girls.

Whether or not you have a Pinterest-worthy family movie night, planning for your next one just got a little bit easier. The Fort Worth Moms Blog put together a list of 100 kid-friendly films -- from classics to new favorites. Pop the popcorn, grab your favorite candy, dim the lights, and settle in!

A summer staple. A much-needed break for mom during a time when neither school nor mom's day out programs typically meet. At the height of unforgivingly hot Fort Worth summers, it's almost a requirement to give the kiddos some organized indoor fun. This year, we are thrilled to update our guide for parents looking to provide one (or two, or three . . . we won't judge) VBS experience for their kiddos in Tarrant County.

An in-depth look at all the River Legacy Living Science Center has to offer kids of all ages -- and their parents -- who love to explore and learn about nature.

I often refer to myself as Last-Minute Lisa, and I am truly okay with that. So, in the spirit of uniting mothers across Tarrant County who, like me, attempt to plan fun outings with their kids for spring break but fail in executing said plan . . . this post is for YOU.
