Visiting Texas: The Texas Renaissance Festival in Todd Mission, TX

Hey Butterflies. Attending the Texas Renaissance Festival has been on my "To Do At Least Once List" for a while now and I finally decided to go last weekend and I'm really glad I did, it was a good experience. 

The Texas Renaissance Festival is a Renaissance fair that was first held in the 70's and is now held annually in Todd Mission, Texas. The TRF is usually open on Saturday, Sunday, & Thanksgiving Friday during the months of October and November. Each week has a different theme and attendees dress in costumes according to the theme for that weekend, I went on the Barbarian Invasion weekend and I really enjoyed it.

Visiting Texas: Lone Star Family Farm | Stephenville, Tx + OMG! It's Fall!!!

It's that time of year again Butterflies! Cooler weather, boots & sweaters and pumpkin flavored everything. I recently came across a "how to video" for making pumpkin slime that I know my little human is going to love, then I just found out the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks and the coolest of all, my spa is offering "pumpkin facials". Don't you just love the fall? Speaking of pumpkin, Lone Star Family Farm is offering a wide range of attractions that are fun for the whole family this fall!

Unboxing: ChapStick Natural Lip Butter

Hey Butterflies! I know it's been a while since you heard from me, with school starting back we had to get back adjusted to a normal routine so I was off "gettin er done" lol. Anyway, there's a new product I'm excited to share this with you guys. I was sent three of the new ChapStick Natural Lip Butter lip moisturizers to try out and review so it'll get right to it. I must start by saying I've been using ChapStick products for as long as I can remember and they haven't disappointed me yet.

Visiting Texas: Date Night at the Range

Butterflies, what’s the weirdest date you’ve ever been on? Ok, going to the gun range is not really weird (practice makes perfect) but it’s not romantic at all and for someone who has zero interest in guns it can be boring. Anyway, my partner is into learning about knives, swords, guns…pretty much most things you’ll see in your favorite action movie and since it’s important to explore each other’s interest we made a date of it.

 

Visiting Texas: Extended Stay America Houston - NASA - Bay

Hey Butterflies! I recently went on a summer weekend getaway with my guy and the kiddo to Galvston Island, Texas. The island is about a hour and a half away from us so we decided to get a hotel room somewhere in the area so that we could have more time on the island while visiting Schlitterbahn and avoid having to rush.

Hotels on the island are usually more expensive than those in surrounding cities; we normally stay in League City whenever we're heading to Galveston but this time we spent the night in Webster, Tx.

I saw that this location was recently renovated so I couldn't wait to see how this location compared to other Extended Stay hotels I've stayed at in the past.
