In + Around Dallas

We LOVE Dallas! The category of in + around Dallas features articles guiding you through the heart of Dallas — major events, favored restaurants, etc. — as well as what to do on date nights, family outings, and where to go in Dallas to learn and live big!

Dallas Moms publishes original, personal stories and advice from local moms, as well as relevant and fun information for those of us in the trenches of parenthood.

Every article published via Dallas Moms — whether someone from our in-house team, a guest writer, or a sponsored writer — uses their words to reflect their own opinions, experiences, and beliefs. No singular post or collection of posts represents the opinions, beliefs, or agenda of Dallas Moms.

If you've driven past 75 and Arapaho anytime since Halloween you or your child may have seen the beginnings of igloos, houses and lights popping up. Each year in Richardson the east lawn of the library is transformed from...
Nostalgia and the holidays go together like hot chocolate and cinnamon sticks. When I discovered family friendly events that combine local history with the beauty and anticipation of the holidays, I found a lovely combination.  Today I’m singing the praises of...

When we started my son in classes at Kidville, I never expected just how much I'd come to rely on them for activities outside of the classroom. Whether it's a few minutes spent in the Play Village after class,...
