when your hair needs a bow...

We don't call ourselves girlie girls, per say, but when it comes to hair bows, they are essential. I frantically texted a friend about a month ago to ask where in Fort Worth I could find a big, white bow for my daughter and then spent an hour or two popping in and out of boutiques. Last night however, I may have found Fort Worth's most convenient, best-kept hair bow secret location. I know, you're surprised it wasn't on the local news, right?
Here were my findngs....
Stella's (best basic hair bow selection)--lots of sizes and colors. The official hair bow maker was even available by business card info to talk to me if I had a specific hair bow request. Prices are a little on the high side, however
Snug as a Bug--Better prices, not a huge selection.
Zoe and Jack's (most creative hair bows)--I definitely like some variety in my daughter's hair, and Zoe and Jack has lots of options scattered all around their store
Tom Thumb's on Hulen (best kept secret)--located by the pharmacy is a small, circular display case full of bows with the best prices I've seen in FW. You have some creative options as well as lots of big, basic ones. And who would have thought to look there?
Of course, if you have time, your best option would be ebay, etsy, or a local hair bow maker. But if you are in a hair bow emergency (been there, done that), I just thought this info would be helpful!

Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo
|
The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo (http://www.fwssr.com) is legendary, and not just in Fort Worth. This year's events will take place Jan. 15- Feb. 7. There is plenty to do for the whole family and "kids" of all ages. You can attend a rodeo, see a milking demonstration, or watch a llama sale. There is a Carnival/Midway and numerous concession areas to fill your stomach. I strongly suggest exploring the website and doing a little planning before you go. If you're a stock show "novice" like me, it can be hard to figure out where to go, when to go and what to do.
General admission is: adults $8, kids 6-16 $4, kids 5 and under free. Rodeo tickets range from $16-22 per person. There are also various discounts on different days throughout the show.

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (aka, your new favorite place in Fort Worth)

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History just reopened a little while ago, and we were fortunate enough to tag along with some friends one day who already had memberships.
And let me just say, for both me and my daughter:
Oh.
My.
We were just at the "Kid Zone" and didn't even get to scratch the surface of the awesomeness of it all. This particular area had:
--a mirror and clothes to dress up
--a doctor's area, complete with an ambulance and a slew of baby dolls (as if it was a labor and delivery area of a hospital
--a supermarket with baskets, food, and check-out lines (that beep when you run the food over it)
--a building area where you can build roads and bridges for cars (plus, you can wear a hardhat!)
--a young child's area set up in an ocean theme
--mats and balance beams
--a television with a show on a loop, featuring kids and their favorite sports and activities
and more! It's been a few weeks since we were there, so I need to return to refresh my memory. There is also a water area outside where your kids can wear smocks to play with water (new summertime activity for us-score!) The gift shop even has a slide in it.
We played for a little while, although it took my daughter a little while to warm up to everything. I think that there was just SO much to do, she didn't know what to do. After an hour or so, we went down to the Stars Cafe and ate lunch. I ate a spinach salad with walnuts and cranberries, and my little girl nibbled off a slice of pizza. It wasn't the cheapest meal, but at least it was good!
More things the museum features:
--IMAX movie theater
--a planetarium
--Museum school (a preschool at the museum)
Just as we couldn't even begin to explore all that was there, I can't even begin to explain all the museum offers on this one, dinky, little post. So, go to the website, or better yet, go there.

Here is where you can learn more about membership

And about when it's open

A year's membership is now on my daughter's birthday wish list, and I will make sure that one's definitely checked off.
