The world's first and only upscale, tech-infused mini golf experience is invading Texas.

With these cold winter months among us, no doubt our littles are tired of being cooped up inside and let's be real, we run out of ideas to entertain and their gaming systems and tablets take over. If you are looking for something cool, fun and safe for them to do, then you definitely want to check this out.

I visit the Alamo City alot. I have family there that I get to visit often #1 and because obviously there is far more to do there #2. I love the city, I love the atmosphere, it's big but to me has a small town feel. Weird but true. One of the restaurants we frequent, as a mother of 3, is one called Chicken n Pickle. We were there just a couple of weekends ago! We need one of these here in the 432.

As the pandemic stretches on, I know it's hard to find something new and fun to do with your time. Card games are a great solution since they're versatile, don't take up a lot of space and some of the ones on my list can accommodate just two players all the way up to ten!

Whether you're home for the Holidays, stuck inside with your roommates and away from family or just bored on Christmas day, I have a list of eight super fun games you can play with family and friends to make this Holiday season feel a little less miserable.

If your family is like mine, the holidays bring good times, great memories and great GAMES! Seriously, that is my favorite part. In our fam someone usually gets the coolest, fun new trendy game, brings it over and we all have a blast! Like most families, we've done Pie In the Face, Apples to Apples, the Ellen DeGeneres Heads Up game and countless others.

As far back as I can remember, I can think of people constantly talking about how Midland/Odessa really needs a Dave and Busters. Don't get me wrong, I love me some D & B but I had no idea that this existed. It's like Putt Putt on crack with a little bit of an adult night life friendly twist. ...

This my friends is a simple game that I could spend hours playing when I was little. Kids these days are worried about having the newest and fanciest electronics? I had Mastermind. Mind you, I didn't have one, no one ever bought me one, I would beg my cousin to play his anytime we went to his house, which was always. lol

One of my favorite childhood games. I had a Simon game that my mom bought me at a garage sale. Loved that thing! Unfortunately most of our children will never get to know the fun of playing games like this anymore.

After taking a trip over the weekend, I remembered how my children need to be entertained on the road. The radio, their tablets, phones and Ipods can only get us so far before they are bored out of their minds.
