Kids at the San Antonio Museum of Art

Yes, you can do it! 

You can take your kids to an art museum! 

It is do-able and fun and they will whisper and be on their best behavior! 

Well, I can't promise you that,
but I can tell you that they will talk about it for months to come!

And you will want to come back for many of SAMA's family events!

Let them walk on the sky bridge (pictured above)
and let them get a look at the lobby from up high. 

Let them see the fish!

Don't forget the samurai!

And by the way, Saturday May 18th from 10am-9pm, SAMA is giving everyone free admission to celebrate National Art Museum Day!

Very cool! Enjoy!

Let It Go Links

Another weekend is here...and it is a special one for everyone. Not just for moms who will get a break from cooking, or receive a gifts, flowers and cards. It's about a weekend where we all get to just share a little love and time with our mothers, the women who devote so much time, love and thoughts on their children and families.

It's a funny thing being a mom. Life changing. Ever evolving. All consuming. Diapers. Toys. Parties. School...

But you can't forget how magical it can be. You have a front row seat to life. You see inches grown, milestones passed, and right before your eyes, your babies continue to grow. Their minds, their hearts, their bodies.

Mother's Day for me is just another reminder to be thankful and appreciate all of life's wonder.

So these are my Let It Go links:

• My lovely friend Stacy of Kids Stuff World writes a Letter to a New Mom, which touches the heart of every mom. After all, we are all in this tribe together! 

• A little something about me and my mom from a previous post - A Mother's Support is Like Magic 

• A little shout out to some Texas Moms! I love relaxing and catching up on their lives/blogs: Michelle at A Thrifty Diva Surviving Motherhood, Alba from Independent Mami, Melanie from Que Means What, Alvina from There's Magic Out There, Colleen from San Antonio Mom Blogs, Heather from Geekette Bits and Candy from Candypalooza

• And a reaffirmation that You Matter by Tsh at Simple Mom. Bookmark it, take a picture of it. Read it again and get inspired!

• Tillamook is giving moms free admission to the zoo this Saturday. And a chance to win a year's worth of cheese. Check out their blog post for more details!

Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day Sunday and today for all my Mamas Mexicanas! 

YOSA's Fate and Redemption

You've heard about YOSA before, right? You know, the Youth Orchestra of San Antonio? 

We got our first peek at them earlier this year during the Brahms Festival, when they performed at Trinity's Laurie Auditorium. The kids and I enjoyed an evening of classical music and you can too! 

Their next performance is, Fate and Redemption, Monday May 6th, 2013 at Trinity University's Laurie Auditorium at 7:30 pm. The performance will be the last of the season for the YOSA Philharmonic and will feature the winner of their annual concerto competition, William Karns, Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony and Wagner's Overture to Tannhauser.  

You can purchase tickets to the event at the box office located at One Stadium Drive
