What’s New for Summer?

It’s summer in Texas, and that means three-digit degree days, oppressing humidity and make-up melt downs, but it’s our Texas, and we love it in spite of its summer sizzle. With the temperature not so temperate this month, we’ve taken a hiatus from the horrendous heat, stayed indoors and have given...

Soakin’ Up the Celebrations

The lazy, hazy days of summer are finally here, and I, for one, am ready for a more laid-back pace as we celebrate life a bit slower. Celebrations are a major theme in this issue as we share with you our top grads from Fort Bend ISD and Fort Bend Christian Academy.  Our vals and sals are stellar this...

May Milestones

March is often the month associated with madness, but I, for one, must disagree. I’ve long professed that May is by far the month of madness, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with basketball. May is the month of milestones, and for some reason, there always seems to be a multitude of them, ergo the...

Winning Excursions & Institutions

It’s April – no foolin’ – and there’s so much going on this Spring in the Bend.  As Pete says in this month’s Fort Bend Strong, Spring has sprung!  His column is packed full of Springtime excursions both here in the Bend and some “mystery field trips” just a few short miles from home. ...

The Season of Change

Last Saturday night I donned a turtleneck sweater, coat, scarf, gloves and boots. By Sunday morning my attire changed to shorts, flip flops and a t-shirt. You know what that means Fort Bend friends? You guessed it – it’s Spring in Texas! Mr. Kaminski has often equated the Spring season in Texas with a...

The Month of Love

Welcome to the absolute best month of the year – the month that features my three favorite C’s:  chocolate, cabernet and champagne! Well, I really love diamonds in February, too, and that word doesn’t begin with a C.  Hopefully Mr. Kaminski doesn’t get that confused with another C word –...

Celebrating Change in 2023

The new year has blown in with a blast – an Artic blast! You know what they say about Texas weather.  If you don’t like it, just wait a minute because it will soon change. Change is what the new year brings, and celebrating change in a big way is what our cover story is about.  Dhanani Private Equity...

Thrills and Spills: Happy Holidays!

What a whirlwind 2022 has been – and now we’re already gearing up for 2023!  Fast and furious definitely describes the past 12 months. It’s been a wild ride filled with thrills and spills. Certainly, never a dull moment, and I, for one, am extremely thankful. This year was a milestone for Fort Bend...

Fall Favs

There’s just something about this time of year – it’s my absolute favorite!  For me, Fall is magical.  It’s a very special time when we decorate our homes, prepare for the holidays and share some great times with family and friends.  Fortunately for us, Fort Bend has so many Fall fun festivities...

Fabulous Fall Fun

Cooler weather is finally here, and it makes me want to get out and about and enjoy all of the things that the Fall season is famous for – the festivals, the outdoor events and of course, the football games! From the Great Pumpkin Round Up to the Sugar Plum Market to the ARC’s “Best in the West,”...

Fall in Fort Bend

It’s Fall, and our babies are back in school.  For the first time in over 20 years, I had no back to school shopping list as my last baby – my 279-month-old newborn – graduated from college in May.  I was feeling pretty blue about the entire situation until that precious child offered to meet me...

Happy 246th Birthday America!

July 4th is the Super Bowl of summer holidays, and I for one am ready! Fort Bend has a plethora of fun, family-friendly opportunities to celebrate America’s birthday, and we are bringing them all to you on page 22. With the long holiday weekend, I hope you and your family can enjoy a couple of these...

Dads & Grads: Let the Celebrations Begin

It’s hard to believe that it’s June already.  It seems like this year has just flown by, and here we are already celebrating the summer.  I, for one, am ready! Celebrating summer kicks off with celebrating Dad, and in this issue, we feature six very special Dads nominated by family members sharing...

May Madness

For years I have professed that the months of May and December are by far the busiest and most hectic months of the year.  In our house, it has just always worked out that way.  By June 1st and January 1st, I let out a collective sigh of relief and vow to take a minute of much needed R and R.  And...
