Recipe: How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs

Recipe: Hard Boiled Eggs
Directions: 
1. Place a single layer of eggs in a pot of cold water.

2. Heat water and eggs to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, promptly remove the pot from the heat.

3. Let eggs stand in the water for 15 minutes.

4. Drain and then rinse with cold water.  Refrigerate until ready to use them.




Craft: Dye Easter Eggs
Purchase a box of Easter Egg Dye. We purchased a cheap box for 99-cents. Follow the instructions on the box.  We'll show an example of the process that we followed since they are all fairly similar.

1. Drop one dye tablet in a bowl with 5 ounces of warm water. Stir to help dissolve. This takes approximately 5 minutes.

2. After the tablets dissolve, stir in one teaspoon of white vinegar for each color.

 3. Place hard boiled eggs in each color.  Let them soak longer for darker and more vivid color.

 4. Let dry and then serve.  Refrigerate any unused eggs.

5. Optional: Color with crayons on the eggs. We drew Angry Birds Star Wars characters on our Easter eggs. My son loves R2Egg2 on his Easter eggs!

We had a YES DAY at Six Flags Over Texas During Viva la Fiesta!

 

If you're looking for the ultimate family experience this spring, you need to head to Viva La Fiesta at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. Running every Saturday and Sunday from April 5 through May 4, 2025, it’s more than just a theme park visit—it’s a celebration of Latin American and Caribbean culture filled with music, color, food, and energy. And if you're feeling adventurous like I was, make it a YES DAY.

For those who aren’t familiar, a YES DAY is when parents agree to say “yes” to their kids’ requests (within reason), and I gave my son one recently. I couldn’t say no—so when he asked to spend it at Six Flags for Viva La Fiesta, complete with Flash Passes and food wristbands, I had no choice but to buckle up for a full day of non-stop fun. And I’m so glad I did.

We started early, and from the moment we walked in, we were swept into a whirlwind of rides, food, entertainment... and more food. We basically rode rides, ate, rode more rides, ate more, rode again, caught a performance, and repeated that cycle until the sun went down. I couldn’t say no because it was a YES DAY!

A Celebration of Mexican Heritage and Culture

Viva La Fiesta brings the Mexico-themed section of the park to life in a big way. The entire area is filled with festive décor, live music, and dancing. Every morning kicks off with a Looney Tunes dance party that sets the tone for the day.

Throughout the park, the sound of mariachi music fills the air thanks to Mariachi Bohemio, while Ballet Folklórico dancers bring traditional Mexican storytelling to life with vibrant costumes and choreography. Chicana DJ Virah mixes Latin beats that get everyone moving.

And for one special weekend, April 12–13, there are even more incredible performances:

• Rumbamena International Dance Company performs high-energy salsa and samba

• Manteca Blue & The Latin Corner electrifies the stage with Latin-jazz fusion

The atmosphere is nonstop energy—full of life, sound, and movement. I couldn’t say no to any of it.

The Food Alone Is Worth the Visit

Let’s talk about the food. Six Flags Over Texas has seriously stepped it up this year, thanks to their new executive chef, Douwe Iedema. With international culinary experience (including cooking for royalty), he’s transformed the dining scene into something truly special.

We spent hours in the Mexican section of the park enjoying:

• Tortas stuffed with shredded beef that simmers for over 12 hours

• Roasted elotes, crispy tostones, and tricolor chips with roasted salsa

• Spanish rice, pinto beans, and cilantro lime crema

• Refreshing mocktails with tropical flavors like mango and coconut that kids absolutely love

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and felt more like gourmet street food than theme park fare. I couldn’t say no to a second torta... or a third. And with the food and drink wristbands, we never had to stop and budget. We just enjoyed every bite.

The Rides? Let’s Just Say We Lost Count

With the Flash Passes, my son decided we were going to ride his favorite roller coaster over and over. We ended up riding it more 10 times. I couldn’t say no. We spun around in the teacups, screamed on El Sombrero, and fit in as many coasters and rides as we could between bites of food and impromptu dance breaks.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him laugh so much—or eat so many churros in one day.

Make It a Day to Remember

Viva La Fiesta is happening every weekend through May 4 at Six Flags Over Texas, located at 2201 Road to Six Flags in Arlington. It’s the biggest party of the season and the perfect way to celebrate culture, family, and fun all in one unforgettable day.

If you’re thinking of creating your own YES DAY, this is the place to do it. Because when you say yes to food, rides, music, and laughter, you’re really saying yes to memories that will last forever.

And believe me—I couldn’t say no!

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month – Let's Make a Difference Together!

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month – Let's Make a Difference Together!

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and it’s a time for all of us to come together to support the children in our communities who need our help. This cause is deeply personal to me, and I hope you’ll join me in spreading awareness and taking action.

One of the most powerful ways to get involved is by supporting Pinwheels of Hope, an initiative dedicated to raising awareness and preventing child abuse. You can order a Pinwheel of Hope online, which serves as a symbol of our commitment to a brighter, safer future for children. The funds raised through this initiative go directly to supporting programs that help children and families, and each pinwheel purchased makes a significant impact in the lives of those affected by abuse.

Texas, unfortunately, does not have the strongest child abuse laws, and many adults continue to get away with horrific actions. That’s why it’s so important for us to support organizations like the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC), who work tirelessly to support children and families affected by abuse. According to DCAC, the statistics surrounding child abuse are absolutely heartbreaking:

• 73% of sexually abused children will not disclose their abuse for at least a year.
• 45% wait 5 years or longer
• Some never tell at all
• 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.
• 95% of DCAC clients know their offender.

These statistics show just how important it is for us to work together to help prevent child abuse. Many children will never report the abuse they’ve endured, and without us, they may never get the help they need.

So, what can we do? Here are some upcoming events and ways you can get involved and support Pinwheels of Hope:

1. Galleria Dallas Pinwheel Mural

• Dates: April 1–30, 2025
• Location: Galleria Dallas, Level 1, near Sephora
• Details: Visit the Galleria Dallas to see a unique pinwheel garden graphic. Capture memorable photos and learn more about DCAC's mission to prevent child abuse.

2. Galleria Dallas Good Market – Benefiting DCAC

• Dates: April 4–5, 2025, from 10 AM to 5 PM
• Location: Galleria Dallas Outdoor Plaza (Near North Italia)
• Details: Support local artisans and small businesses while contributing to a great cause. Ten percent of sales from participating vendors will be donated to DCAC.

3. National Go Blue Day

• Date: Friday, April 5, 2025
• Details: Show your support for child abuse prevention by wearing blue, decorating your space, and sharing your photos on social media with the hashtags #GoBlue and #WearBlueDay2025.

4. DCAC Night at the Rough Riders Game

• Date: April 18, 2025, at 6 PM
• Location: Riders Field, 7300 Rough Riders Trail, Frisco, TX 75034
• Details: Enjoy a night of baseball while supporting DCAC. Tickets are $15, with $5 from each sale benefiting DCAC. A DCAC table will be available at the game for those interested in purchasing a Pinwheels of Hope yard sign.

5. Pinwheels of Hope Yard Sign Campaign

• Dates: Available online from March 4 to April 25, 2025
• Details: Donate $25 to receive a Pinwheels of Hope yard sign. Displaying this sign is a powerful way to raise awareness. Pickup is available at DCAC, or signs can be delivered within a 25-mile radius.

You'll find one of their signs in my front yard!

6. Coloring Pages: A Creative Way to Raise Awareness

• Available: Starting March 7, 2025
• Details: Local Dallas artists have designed pinwheel-themed coloring pages for all ages. These pages symbolize the healing journey of children at DCAC. Download and share your colored pages on social media to spread awareness.

How You Can Support:

• Order a Pinwheel Yard Sign: Visit the DCAC website to donate and receive your sign. Display it proudly to show your commitment to preventing child abuse.
• Attend Events: Participate in the events listed above to raise awareness and support DCAC's initiatives.
• Share on Social Media: Use your platforms to spread the word. Share event details, coloring pages, and your personal commitment to supporting child abuse prevention.

Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of children affected by abuse. I hope you’ll join me in supporting these events and initiatives throughout April. For more information and to get involved, visit the DCAC's Pinwheels of Hope page or use the QR code below to donate.

Let’s stand together to protect and heal our children. Your support means the world!

AUDREY'S CHILDREN: An Inspiring True Story of Resilience and Compassion #AudreysChildren #AudreysChildrenRWM

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Blue Harbor Entertainment.

If you’re looking for a movie that’s not only engaging but also deeply inspiring, look no further than AUDREY'S CHILDREN. This touching biographical film brings to light the incredible true story of Dr. Audrey Evans, a visionary British physician who broke barriers in the medical field and touched the lives of millions of children and families worldwide.

 

Here is the brief overview:

"AUDREY'S CHILDREN tells the untold true story of visionary British physician Dr. Audrey Evans, who burst onto the scene in 1969 as the first female Chief of Oncology at the world-renowned Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Battling sexism, medical conventions, and the subterfuge of her peers, Evans developed the first Neuroblastoma Staging System, co-founded the first Ronald McDonald House for families of patients, and, ultimately, impacted the lives of millions of children and families around the world. When Dr. Evans started her work, only 10 % of children with cancer survived, now nearly 80% survive. Rated PG. https://www.audreyschildren.com/"

Directed by Ami Canaan Mann and written by Julia Fisher Farbman, AUDREY'S CHILDREN chronicles Dr. Evans’ groundbreaking journey. In 1969, Dr. Evans made history as the first female Chief of Oncology at the prestigious Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Despite facing sexism, skepticism, and resistance from her male peers, Dr. Evans was determined to make a difference. Her most notable achievement was the development of the first-ever Neuroblastoma Staging System, which revolutionized the way doctors diagnosed and treated children with cancer. She also co-founded the first Ronald McDonald House, providing families of sick children with a place to stay and offering them comfort during some of their darkest times.



Starring Natalie Dormer as Dr. Audrey Evans, along with Jimmi Simpson and Clancy Brown, this film shines a light on a true trailblazer who changed the world for the better. The performances are riveting, and the emotional depth of the story will leave you inspired.

In our personal experience, we loved every moment of this engaging movie. It’s not often you come across a film that not only educates but also moves you to take action. Dr. Evans’ courage, perseverance, and compassion are a testament to the power of one individual’s impact on the world. In fact, I was so inspired by her story that I plan to volunteer at my local Ronald McDonald House, hoping to give back in some small way to the incredible work Dr. Evans started.

AUDREY'S CHILDREN is rated PG, making it a family-friendly film that’s perfect for all ages. The movie is a beautiful reminder of how one person's vision can change the lives of countless others, and it encourages us all to make a difference in our own communities.

We highly recommend that you check out AUDREY'S CHILDREN and be inspired by the incredible legacy of Dr. Audrey Evans. Don’t miss it!

(Win it!) The Chosen: Last Supper – A Powerful, Must-See Easter Event for Families #TheChosenLastSupperMIN #MomentumInfluencerNetwork

Many thanks to Come And See Foundation for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

In today's post, I'll tell you about a new cinematic release, The Chosen: Last Supper! We'll also host a giveaway for one lucky winner to receive an Amazon gift card!

I just watched Episode 1 of The Chosen: Last Supper, and I have to say—I’m still thinking about it. I don’t want to spoil anything, but trust me when I say this is one of the most moving, cinematic, and powerful portrayals of Jesus’ final days that I have ever seen. The storytelling is gripping, the cast delivers stunning performances, and the emotional weight of these events truly hits home.

Let's start with the trailer:

Personally, I’ve always loved seeing biblical stories come to life on screen, but The Chosen takes it to another level. It makes you feel like you are there—walking alongside Jesus, sitting at the table, and experiencing the joy, fear, and uncertainty of the disciples in real-time. That’s what makes The Chosen: Last Supper so special. It’s not just a retelling; it’s an experience.

A Show the Whole Family Can Enjoy
One of the things I love most about The Chosen is that it’s a series my whole family can watch together. We love movie nights, and finding a film that is entertaining, meaningful, and appropriate for all ages can sometimes be a challenge. But The Chosen delivers on all fronts.

Watching The Chosen

Last Supper with family, friends, or a church group is the perfect way to reflect on the meaning of Easter. It’s an opportunity to see the story we know so well in a fresh, emotional, and deeply personal way. I know that after watching the first episode, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and I can’t wait to watch the rest.

Why This is a Must-See
If you’ve never seen The Chosen before, now is the perfect time to jump in. And if you’ve been a longtime fan, you already know how powerful this series can be. But The Chosen: Last Supper takes things to an entirely new level.

 
1. An Unforgettable Cinematic Experience
I’ve seen a lot of biblical movies, but there’s something about The Chosen that makes it stand out. The way it’s filmed, the attention to historical detail, and the emotional depth of the performances make it feel real. It’s one thing to read about the Last Supper, but seeing it unfold on screen, with all the emotions and tensions between the disciples, is an entirely different experience.

 
2. A Story That Stays With You
After watching Episode 1, I found myself reflecting on the weight of what was happening. Seeing Jesus and his disciples together, knowing what was coming, made it even more powerful. The Chosen: Last Supper doesn’t just tell the story—it makes you feel it.

 
3. A Great Way to Prepare for Easter
Easter is a time of reflection, faith, and gratitude, and The Chosen: Last Supper is the perfect way to prepare your heart and mind for the season. Instead of just hearing the story in church or reading about it, you can watch it unfold in a deeply moving way.

4. A Movie That Sparks Conversations
One of my favorite things about The Chosen is that it always leads to great discussions. Whether it’s about faith, history, or how these events apply to our lives today, every episode gives us something to think about. Watching this with your family or church group is a great way to start meaningful conversations about what Jesus’ final days meant then and what they mean now.

See It in Theaters – Three Chances to Watch
For the first time ever, The Chosen is releasing in a special three-part theatrical event. This means you’ll have multiple opportunities to see it on the big screen.
Release Dates:

• Part One (Episodes 1-2): March 28
• Part Two (Episodes 3-5): April 4
• Part Three (Episodes 6-8): April 11

Watching The Chosen: Last Supper in a theater adds another layer to the experience. The stunning cinematography, the incredible score, and the shared experience of watching with others will make it all the more powerful.

Visit Six Flags Over Texas for Spring Break Fun + Visit Throughout the Year as Their New Executive Chef Rolls Out Menu Updates + Enjoy Upcoming Events!

My Texas heart LOVES Six Flags Over Texas! This iconic amusement park isn’t just a place—it’s a treasure trove of excitement, adventure, and joy for the whole family. My kids and I had the most AMAZING time visiting yesterday, and I have to tell you, if you’re looking for the PERFECT Spring Break destination, this is IT! The weather was absolutely dreamy—perfectly cool with a light breeze—making it the best time to enjoy all the thrills, delicious food, and incredible entertainment that Six Flags Over Texas has to offer. In today's post, I'll share highlights from my recent visit and point you to events and deals that you won't want to miss. (Spoiler alert - Six Flags Over Texas has a big sale until Sunday for Season passes that include free parking AND season meal passes that are good year-round and just in time for Viva La Fiesta! Plus, this is the optimal time to buy season meal passes as they hired a new executive chef and have already begun rolling out new menu items with rave reviews!)

FAMILY FUN FOR EVERY AGE 

Let's start with our recent visit. One of the things I LOVE about Six Flags Over Texas is that there’s truly something for everyone. My 2nd grader had the time of his life in Bugs Bunny Boomtown—a laid-back and fun area designed just for little ones! My little thrill seeker rode the rollercoaster and Cloud Bouncer multiple times, giggling the whole way through. And let me tell you—he slept SO soundly that night. Nothing beats seeing those precious childhood memories being made and sleeping like a baby at night!

I asked my kids to rate their favorite rides in Bugs Bunny Boomtown. My teen remembered the rides from when he was a kid. My 2nd grader just experienced the rides. They put their brains together and came up with this list:

Top 5 Rides in Bugs Bunny Boom Town for Little Kids:

1. Wile E. Coyote's Grand Canyon Blaster – A fun roller coaster that's perfect for first-time thrill-seekers!

2. Taz Tornado – A spinning ride that kids absolutely love!

3. Daffy Duck Bucket Blasters – A fun water ride to cool off while having a blast!

4. Bugs Bunny Cloud Bouncer – A gentle ride that lifts kids into the sky for a fun view!

5. Speedy Gonzales’ Trucking Company – A cute truck ride perfect for the little adventurers!

There’s also a special Spring Break performance near the merry-go-round at the front entrance, featuring our favorite Looney Tunes characters in their Spring Break outfits! Their high energy and fun dance routines make it the perfect entertainment for kids to dance along and enjoy!  This runs until Sunday, so don't miss the shows!

Thrills for the Older Kids (and the Young at Heart!)

Not to be outdone, my teenager relished the chance to bond with his little brother in Boom Town but couldn't resist the allure of the park's more daring attractions. They were even able to enjoy some older kids' rides together, like the Conquistador, a massive ship that swings back and forth, giving that exhilarating stomach-drop feeling, and the Rodeo Ride, where guests sit on a spinning bull that twists in different directions!

The Dino Off Road Adventure attraction is another family-friendly ride! 

I won't spoil it, but your dino lovers are in for surprises.

In addition, here are the top five rides that had my teen grinning from ear to ear:

1. Titan: A colossal coaster that sends you plummeting from 255 feet at speeds up to 85 mph—pure exhilaration!
2. New Texas Giant: This wooden-steel hybrid offers a smooth yet thrilling ride with breathtaking drops and twists.
3. Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast: Experience high-speed launches and inversions—all in reverse!
4. Batman: The Ride: An inverted coaster that flips and spins, making you feel like the Caped Crusader soaring through Gotham.
5. Shock Wave: A classic looping coaster that delivers timeless thrills with its double loops and airtime hills.

Six Flags Over Texas really thought of everything to create family-friendly experiences that cater to all ages. I love that my teen had special rides for him and that my 2nd grader has special rides for his age. Even better was that there were also rides outside of Bugs Bunny Boom Town for all of us to bond on together. (Yes, I may be that mom who says that each ride is too scary while my kids giggle at my reactions on rides! It's part fo the fun!)

INCREDIBLE DEALS—DON’T MISS OUT!

Now is the BEST time to grab your Season Pass—they’re on a HUGE SALE until Sunday for just $59 for the entire year, and that includes free parking (which alone is $30 per visit!). This is an absolutely unbeatable deal! Get your Season Pass here!

DELICIOUS DINING DEALS 

One of the most exciting things happening at Six Flags Over Texas is their enhanced dining experience under the leadership of their new executive chef, Douwe Iedema. And let me tell you—WOW! We personally got to try some of the updates, and it was NEXT-LEVEL GOOD!

If you plan on indulging in all the deliciousness, you have three fantastic dining pass options:

• One-Day Dining Pass – For $20.99/each + tax, you get a meal, snack, and beverage throughout your visit! Buying the pass in advance of your visit is the way to go for maximum convenience and value!

• All Day Dining Deal – In my opinion, an even BETTER deal! For $44.99/each + tax, you get to enjoy one meal every 90 minutes AND an All Day Drink Bottle for unlimited refills!

• Season Dining Pass – The ultimate value for frequent visitors! Enjoy lunch, dinner, and a snack every visit for the entire season! Plus, you get an All Season Drink Bottle for unlimited refills throughout the park. This is perfect for families who plan to visit multiple times! 

For families, these meal deals are a fantastic value and can be redeemed at restaurants throughout the park. Whether you're craving pizza, BBQ, burgers, salads, or more, you're covered! My kids love picking different restaurants, so it's awesome to have so many options. Plus, there are plenty of drink stations throughout the park for easy refills!  These are just a few of the restaurants below to your must-visit list of restaurants if you buy a season dining pass!  Really though, all of their restaurants are great!

•  JB’s BBQ – Upon entering the park, the smell of the smoked-in-house brisket, chicken and pulled pork will lead guests to the refurbished JB’s BBQ now offering delicious side dishes like smashed potatoes, mac & cheese, corn bread, healthy salads and peach cobbler. 
• All American Café – The most popular restaurant gets a major renovation to provide guests with more seating and shaded areas and an all-new menu that includes double-patty diner-style burgers, hand-breaded chicken tenders, Detroit-style pizza and milkshakes. 
• Casa de las Banderas – Opens this summer with a brand-new menu of street tacos, freshly fried tri-color tortilla chips and elote. 
•  La Cantina – Opens this spring with a new menu featuring Mexican tortas and traditional sides such as Spanish rice, pinto beans and cilantro lime crema. 
• Texas Tacos – All roads will lead to Texas Tacos where guests will find Dallas-style brisket and pork tacos, all made with fresh meat smoked in-house for the first time. 
• Etiennes – Opens this summer to delight guests with fresh beignets dusted with powdered sugar, and sweet and savory crepes. 
• Primo’s – Totally reimagined pizza stop offers New York-style pizza made with a fresh pizza crust, plus tossed-to-order Caesar salad and a new selection of cannoli.

While Primo Pizzeria is my favorite, my kids will enthusiastically argue that JB's BBQ has the best brisket sandwich and waffle fries in Texas!

NEW & IMPROVED DINING EXPERIENCE

One of the highlights of our visit was getting to sample the park’s new and improved menu! Their new executive chef is transforming the food scene with fresh ingredients, homemade dishes, and even smoked-in-house meats. 

The first rollout is at Primo's NY-Style Pizza Restaurant!

These pizzas are fabulous! I spent several years living in upstate NY and love NY-style pizza. Six Flags Over Texas has what seems like an award-winning recipe!  

Some of the must-try items include:

• Primo’s NY-Style Pizza – Hand-tossed and perfectly crisp. As someone who spent years in upstate NY, I can tell you—this is the REAL DEAL!

• Freshly Tossed Caesar Salads – Custom-made right in front of you. So fresh and flavorful!

• Stuffed-to-Order Cannoli – Watching them fill the cannoli on the spot? YES, PLEASE!

The Six Flags Over Texas Meal Passes are redeemable at Primo's! Alternative, you can score a cheese pizza for $16.99 or a pepperoni pizza for $17.99.  They also have freshly tossed Caesar salads with grilled chicken or as a side salad. 

They will fill your cannoli or chocolate-dipped cannoli when you order it! These are priced at $7.49/each.

I also have to mention that it's easy to refill your season drink cups when you visit the restaurants.  There are also some self-serve soda machines in the park. Personally, I also appreciate that Six Flags Over Texas has Coca-Color Freestyle machines in some areas of the park where I can find caffeine-free sodas for my youngest such as caffeine-free Sprite and fruity sparkling waters.

The executive chef will be rolling out updates throughout the year which is why I encourage you to buy the season dining passes. Next on the list includes Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders – These aren’t your typical frozen tenders—they’re made fresh, hand-breaded, and absolutely delicious! Their team has taste testings as they work to perfect their recipes.  

And this is JUST the beginning! More updates are rolling out throughout the year, making a Season Dining Pass even more worth it!

WHAT’S COMING UP? MARK YOUR CALENDARS! 📅

There’s SO much more to look forward to at Six Flags Over Texas this year:

• Viva La Fiesta (April 5 - May 4) – A lively festival with music, dancing, and delicious Latin cuisine! Enjoy spectacular live entertainment, dazzling decorations, and mouthwatering street food inspired by Latin flavors. It's the perfect way to celebrate culture while having a blast at the park! If you have little ones, you really need to make sure that they experience Viva La Fiesta because it's one of the most iconic Texas experiences you'll find! See event details here!

• Splash Island (Opening soon!) – Six Flags just invested millions of dollars into waterpark upgrades for Hurricane Harbor. A tropical paradise with water fun for all ages! This new family-friendly water play area will feature multiple slides, interactive water elements, and plenty of splash zones to cool off during the summer heat. Personally, I am most excited about the 14 new slides for elementary school aged kids. Many water parks cater to toddlers and adults, but there is a gap for kids that fall in between these ages groups.  This new opening will be the biggest water attraction in our area for little kids with a whopping 14 new water slides and more! Whether your kids love gentle water features or thrilling mini slides, there's something for everyone to enjoy! We'll share more soon. In the meantime, check it out here!
