Conversing at Chick-Fil-A on a Saturday Afternoon in Granbury, Texas

Our weekends have been so busy lately that it has been incredibly difficult to make our Weekends Count. This weekend (Labor Day weekend, we've made a concerted effort to have much needed family conversations over meals.

Tonight's "Conversing at Chick-Fil-A" conversation occurred over two superfood salads, one grilled chicken kid's meal with apple sauce and milk, and one Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich.

We had an incredible conversation about our caring for our little one's grandfather, the importance of eating nutritious food, and good behavior.

Our meal concluded with a few laps around the Chick-Fil-A playground and a quick drive back to the house to start our bedtime process.

We look forward to having another "Conversing a Chick-Fil-A" conversation soon!

KidFest at Belk Department Stores! Experience Fashion Shows, Refreshments, and Games While Shopping

We hope you are having a great week!

This weekend, we had a great time shopping at the Belk Department Store in Weatherford, Texas. It was such a great experience and I had a chance to shop for my little one! As a mom who works 50+ hours a week, it is such a rare treat to shop by myself (at least for a few moments). My little one and my husband stopped in front of the store to enable me to enter the store in VIP style while they caught a quick breakfast treat at Taco Cabana (three minutes away).

When I entered the store, it was a great experience. When I found the children's department, I immediately checked out the stations before my little one joined our shopping and KidFest adventure! Check out our purchases and video recap from the adventure!

In anticipation of the upcoming moments of fun, I quickly discovered six simply beautiful southern outfits for children (including two smocked dresses) and then received a telephone call from my husband informing me that he was on his way!

I met him and then the fun with my preschooler began! She enjoyed the stations and had a great time meeting the Weatherford High School Cheerleaders who were volunteering during the event. The event was complete with snacks and make and take crafts for the little ones!

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

KidFest at Belk - Experience Fashion Shows, Refreshments, and Games While Shopping!

After high school, I attended Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU) in Nacogdoches, TX to pursue a degree in Communication Studies. The small town of Nacogdoches was great for me and it also enabled me to experience quality shopping experiences each weekend. My sorority had a lot of functions on the weekend and I always had to have quality clothing for volunteer events, socials, and ceremonies.

Although I did not have a lot of money in college, I always saved my money for shopping and brunch on Saturday morning. This Saturday morning shopping experience was enhanced by the opening of a new store, the Belk Department Store. They had beautiful dresses, outstanding handbags, and a unique jewelry! In fact, I still have a few items from my Saturday morning shopping experiences.

Now, child is the highlight of my shopping experiences. I love finding quality children's clothing items for her (especially for the beginning of school). Last year, I was fortunate to visit Nacogdoches when visiting my mother. The highlight of our trip was a $350 visit to Belk. Yes, it WAS a lot of money, but this was the most quality shopping experience that was had! My primary purchase included smocked dresses by the Marmallatta company. I love this company and I was pleased to find them at Belk! This has been the ONLY places that I have been able to find these dresses for my little one.

Today is your lucky day! Belk is having their KidFest today (Saturday, July 30th from 12pm to 3pm)! This event will feature kid-centric fashion shows, refreshments, and games! It is a great family-friendly event and you can save up to 50% off kids apparel! Maybe we will find some smocked dresses as well!

Please share this post and we cannot wait to share our purchases with you!
