The Cove Restaurant

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

I am trying my best to get out more and see the city, especially before the arrival of our new baby.  We are soon going to become a family of 5 and have been discussing how much of the little things will be changing for our family.  So exciting and a bit nervous, but very THANKFUL for God’s continued blessings in my life.

We came across a dive this weekend that exceeded our expectations!  The Cove Restaurant, located at 606 W. Cypress Street in San Antonio has the slogan “Eat Well, Live Well.”  They serve SOL foods!  Sustainable, organic and local!!  This restaurant is also a beer garden, live music venue, laundromat and car wash!!! 

The Cove was featured on the Food Network channel and Texas Monthly magazine.  Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere and a kids playground, basketball hoop and ping pong table!  Another bonus…every Tuesday from 5pm-11pm kids eat free off the kids menu with the purchase of adult entree.  You can make this a whole family event and even bring your dog! 

Take a Saturday and get out of your rut!  Try somewhere new and get inspired by eating healthy!  You won’t be disappointed with this place!  To learn more about The Cove check out their web page at http://thecove.us.

Back at it with GREAT intentions!

Happy New Year Savvy Mommas!!!!!  I have been neglecting this page more than I ever imagined I would.  Not because I wanted to or because I didn’t care.  I have been so busy this holiday season with 2 little ones holiday activities, a pregnancy that has me sick all the time and a fundraiser I am co-chairing that has become a full time job.  That being said…one of my priorities for 2011 is to be consistent about posting more regular activities, cool shops, yummy restaurants to try and places to entertain your family.

2011 is going to be a GREAT  year!  I can just feel it!!!  Please feel free to email me with any awesome information, places to try out and things to do to entertain your kiddos so I can let all other Savvy Mommas know too!  We are all a wealth of knowledge.  Just takes a few of us to type this stuff up and share with others. 

Happy New Year!!  Let’s make 2011 Great!

Don’t Forget about the Fun, Free Fall Festival this weekend!

Morning Sickness…ALL DAY LONG!

Friday, June 18th, 2010

In case you were wondering why I haven’t posted much lately…I am pregnany with #3 and am feeling a bit under the weather.  Yup, it’s amazing how you forget how bad you feel once that baby comes into this world that you think you can do it again and again.  Needless to say, we are thrilled for another blessing!  I just need to get through 4 more weeks of ickyness.

What has been working for me?

Water with fresh lemon juice, a handful of almonds every 2 hours, Sea Bands (bracelets you wear that puts pressure on some part of your wrist that is suppose to help), apples, gingerale and SLEEP!!  If you know of any other good home remedy’s please share!  I am sure I am not the only preggo that feels like this. 

What we do for our babies start the minute we find out we are pregnant!

Lost Pines Resort

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

My family just got back from a vacation and it was well worth blogging about!  If you haven’t had a chance to take your family here this would be a great weekend getaway with the kids.  Probably one of the most kid friendly places to stay we have ever been to.  The rooms were nothing extraordinary but the grounds were worth spending your time outside…even on a hot summer day.

Lost Pines is owned by Hyatt Regency and located in Bastrop, TX (right outside of Austin).  They have a beautiful golf course, horses to ride, a wonderful pool, water slize, lazy river and great activities almost every hour throughout the day.  From face painting to digging for worms and kickball games, Lost Pines is a place to take the whole family.  They have tons of bicycles and kid bikes you can use, walking paths, hiking trails, and great food from a few different restaurants on the main campus.

If you want to learn more about Lost Pines you can check out their web page HERE.

Summer is HERE!!

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

It is only the 2nd day of summer and my kids are already driving me CRAZY!  It doesn’t help that they have been running fevers the past 2 days, but the days are creeping by.  So…it is time for some summer suggestions.  Write in with your favorite activity to do with your kids during the summer to help the days go by!  Then I can take all of the suggetions and write a blog about new ideas for all of us Savvy Mommas to do.

We have already baked cupcakes, painted pictures and been swimming like crazy.  New ideas needed PLEASE!

It really is Incredible!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

With all of the rain we have been lately my kids and I were going stir crazy last week!  So, we decided to venture out somewhere we had never been.  It was enough for me to meet the manager and let them know I wanted to blog about what a great experience we had at Incredible Pizza Company. 

Incredible Pizza is a large indoor play area that also serves delicious pizza, pasta, baked potatoes, beverages and dessert.  The best thing of all was how incredibly clean I found this place to be.  They have bumper cars, go karts, mini bowling lanes, putt putt golf, and tons of other games.  Their system is great too.  You buy a buffet meal and a game card that has the money on the card.  Kids don’t lose tokens and parents get to keep track of how much money is left on the card to make it fair for your kids to have equal playing time.  Most of the games you play allow you to win tickets.  Once you are ready to leave, total up your tickets so your child goes home with a prize :)  

Incredible Pizza Company has great savings offered throughout the week:  $1 buffet Monday: with $15 game card purchased, 2 for $20 Tuesday: receive 2 kid’s buffets and 2 $10 game cards for only $20, Wacky Wednesday: choose your option of timed play and receive unlimited play on all attractions and video games, Double Thursdays: they will DOUBLE the value on all game play with your buffet purchase, Friday: purchase $20 game card and get $10 free added to the card!

Mi Casa Tamale Restaurant

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

I think I have found my new favorite place to hang out on a Friday night!  Outside patio, live band, basketball court, 2 trampolines and about 10 Rainbow Playsystems lined up for your kids to be in playground heaven.  Oh, and did I mention the food has great tex-mex and delicious margaritas?!?!   Mi Casa is located off of I-10 and Ralph Fair Rd.  Definitely a kid friendly place with very affordable meals for the whole family.  This is a must try place!

Big Lou’s Pizza

Monday, April 5th, 2010

If you are looking for a fun experience and a great place to host a party, you might want to check out Big Lou’s Pizza restaurant for a memorable way to eat a pizza.  This restaurant has been featured on Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel because of it’s unique way of serving pizza.  You can order a 42 inch pizza that will feed an army!  It literally takes up the entire table.  You have to hold your drink in your lap in order for the pizza to fit.  It is recommended not to add too many toppings or the dough will get too soggy.  This could be a funny and adventurous night out with your friends, date night with other couples or for a bday party for bigger kids.  The pizza is tasty too!  Check it out.  You can find them at:
