180 children!

400ish people!

100 popsicles!

648 pair of underpants!

What a day! We had abundant sunshine, fun-filled train rides, and scads of fun families for the SoundSteps Family Appreciation Day 2012. And, just like you so many times before, your generosity has provided 648 pair of underpants for Vogel Alcove Childcare Center for the Homeless! We had a lot of fun with all of the jokes about “drop your underpants here” and the like, but the “bottom” line is: SoundSteps families ROCK! and this will go a long way to helping a lot of children!

So, THANK YOU!

I remember that song from Sesame Street when I was growing up. Now, Dallas is a pretty spread out, car-oriented city, but within that, I feel like I have true friends in these people.

Take a look at all of these donations! Thank you to our Kindermusik families who donated at our church locations. This is the gathering of goods from just one of our locations, Lakewood UMC, where we collected lots of maternity clothes and baby items for teen moms at Woodrow Wilson High School. Read more

In our home, we I love the month of December.  I’ve been trying to make it “we” for four years.  My husband just doesn’t embrace my excitement!  Oh well, in time… I can’t really put my finger on one thing I love – it’s the meaning, the smells, the crisp air, the music, the decorations, [...] Read more

I have lived in Dallas 15 Falls and it’s my favorite month for gorgeous weather. No, it’s not crisp and cool New England with glowing trees, but we’ll take what we get (less humidity). There are so many great places around town to enjoy the cooler temps and cleaner air. Whether on a walk down [...] Read more

We are fortunate that Dallas is filled with wonderful preschools in every neighborhood. The preschool choice is your most critical choice in schools because that’s where the foundation is laid for later learning. Research has shown that what happens in these early years will make all the difference in elementary through college. Yikes! That puts [...] Read more
