- by Natalie_L1Looking to see what holiday movies you/your family enjoy. Perhaps you have some on your list that I have never seen before. I just saw “That Christmas” last night, which was pretty cute. I don’t mind if they are cartoon movies or live-action. I like watching the Freeform channel 25 Days of Christmas movies, but […]

- by 3boyzl8r_bJust curious how other families do it. When my husband and I first got married, we did both parents houses for EVERY holiday. We were on a constant time schedule, and honestly holidays were not enjoyable for me. When our first son was born, we still did that the first year and it was even […]

- by Liz_G3We are looking to go for a drive sometime this weekend (at night of course!) to see some houses all decked out with lights. I suppose we could just drive around and see what we can find, but wondering if anyone knows of neighborhoods or areas with lots of houses that are decorated. We live […]
- by Alicia_L3Hi moms! My 3 year old son is obsessed with Frosty and the Snowman and wants to build a snowman sooo badly. I myself have never even built one since I have always lived in the South. I feel bad for my son because snow is minimal down here. So, I want to get him […]
- by matty.mayI have not taken my daughter to sit on Santa's lap before – but she's 4 now I think it's only fair to give it a shot. But the thought of dealing with Navy Pier doesn't exactly put me in the holiday spirit. Any other suggestions on where to find a Santa who will let […]
- by gerdie12We want to take our girls to see Santa and experience some of the cool Christmas decorations downtown. Looking online, I think Navy Pier may be the best option but I was looking for opinions and your experiences. Has anyone been to Navy Pier for their Winter wonderfest? It appears as though some of it […]
- by happySAHMI have 2 girls; 3yr. & 4yr. old who are absolutely head-over-heals in love with cats. My husband and I decided that no present could be more perfect for Christmas than to get them a kitten. They have absolutely NO IDEA that we are getting a kitten as we have not hinted at it at […]
- by lilyjollyMy five-year-old is asking Santa for only one gift this year, a Nintendo DS (handheld game system). Although she really wants this gift and has been asking for it for half a year now, I don't think it's appropriate for her (mostly because of the price). However, when I try to tell her I don't […]

- by wildcatlucylouWe are wanting to go to the lights at Longview Lake. I know that weekend nights are when it is going to be the busiest – but that is also when it most convenient for us to go. So… if we are going on a Saturday night, any advice on what time to get there, […]
- by Abundantly_BlessedMy husband has to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so I'm looking for somewhere fun to go with my mom and 4-yr-old daughter on either day. We will attend our church's "Christmas Eve" service on 12/23. I'd love to take the family to Gaylord's Lone Star Christmas Ballroom Brunch and Ice, but both are […]
