parents

We so often take time with loved ones for granted, until they're gone. Why can't we love the ones we still have with us in the same way?

The pandemic is causing parents to reevaluate their careers, and that may lead to a huge upheaval in the professional world with lots of new job openings in East Texas.

To all of the parents out there: Thank you for all that you do. You have our respect. Tomorrow, August 1st is your day.

Like many, I'm missing my Dad this week. If you are, too--sending love. If you still have Dad with you, let him know you love him. Moments go by so quickly.

If you haven't heard this story yet, hold on, because it's actually pretty awesome.

Parents may mean well by passing the sign-up sheet around the office and posting about their child's cookie sales on social media, but there's one big reason why Girl Scout Cookies should be sold by the girls and not the parents.

If you're going to be out trick-or-treating tonight with your own kids but you still want to pass out candy to the neighborhood, this self-serve method will solve your dilemma. And with no potential downsides, this is a total Halloween win.

This will be another great way to get the kids sugared up on Halloween. Pancakes! IHOP will have that free scary face pancake offer going again this Halloween, and there's only one thing the kids need to do to get it.

Here's a short - but very useful - list of comments to avoid when talking to the teachers.

It's unusual for snakes to be out during the colder months, but they're still rearing their ugly heads. A 5-year old girl needed 16 doses of antivenom after being bitten by a rattlesnake at a Texas State Park, and it serves as a warning for all of us.

Why are Texans missing the message that hot cars can kill? It's a mystery to me why these hot car deaths keep happening.  In one of the most recent cases, a mom apparently left her kids in the car on purpose, to teach them a lesson.

Good luck today with your office cubicle decorating contest.  You are rockin' those cob webs. I have failed my children with my lack of Halloween decorations, so my 6-year old decided to take matters into her own hands and make something festive on her own.  And then the sprinkler system hit it.
