On October 31 st of this year, while everyone else was Halloweening it up, in the Mullen house we were putting up the Christmas tree! If you just gasped in shock and dismay, my work here is done. 😉 Just kidding. In all honesty, I can tell you it was Kristen with Decorators Warehouse that was the reason!

We love Texas like no other, but let’s be real: When you’re in a place that has only 2 seasons, melting or freezing, summer can become hard to handle if you don’t have a cool down plan in your back pocket! Luckily for us, there are a number of chill options for splashing and swimming in and around Arlington, all while still enjoying the best of the…
I’m always amazed by how many hidden opportunities there are in and around Arlington to enjoy nature, like at River Legacy or the Southwest Nature Preserve. It’s hard to believe that these green spaces are located just minutes from places where the Rangers play and rollercoasters dot the sky, but it’s true. When you just need a break on a weekend…
In a quiet pocket of far west Arlington, nestled high on a hill surrounded by a grove of stately trees, is Arlington Baptist University.
