Preparation is key to getting your child and yourself ready for this exciting adventure. Here’s my top 10 tips on sending your child away to camp. 10. Make sure your child has had a positive experience spending the night away from home, perhaps at a family member’s or friend’s house.

Kids Drive in Lego City: Forest Ranger Pursuit
LEGOLAND Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth invited the posh kids to experience their new LEGO City: Forest Ranger Pursuit ride, and TODAY it is open to the public. Placed near the 4D theatre, this 5,000 square-foot indoor-outdoor driving experience will leave your kids wanting more. Please note this attraction is for KIDS ONLY.

Massage Envy Hurts So Good
There is nothing better than a good massage with just the right pressure – not too deep, and not too light. As you lie there, the pressure is such that you find your tensions melting away as they surrender to the skilled touch of the masseuse. Without the need to wince or hold your breath, you feel the “knots” and stress areas fully revealed, layer-by-layer, until they have been released. Massage Envy offered me a massage to celebrate Mother’s Day. Let’s just say that I NEVER turn down a massage. Yes, I might have squealed at excitement of the invitation 😉 They offer Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and sports massage.…
