| Christi Family is a blog and local family resource for Corpus Christi and surrounding areas of the coastal bend.Created by a family of five, we blog about everything that matters to us. We invite you to read about our journey as we catalogue our thoughts about Family Matters, Fun Matters, Home Matters, Faith Matters, School Matters, and other things that Just Matter (at least to us). We’re exploring Corpus Christi and are providing you with what we find. Whether you’re looking for local resources, wanting to find local events geared just for families, or are wanting a quick reference guide on everything local, this might just be the place for you and yours. We’re filling our pages with resources for mom’s, kids, visitors, newbies, and families in general. As we continue our adventures in life, we’ll also continue our exploration of what we can do with this site and hopefully you'll benefit! Our focus is family, it’s that simple. You won’t find business meetings listed on our calendars, instead you’ll see calendars for families, toddlers, or just parents. It’s your choice! Join the fun! Let us know what you’d like to see or what you think we should explore! We’ll share our thoughts! |
Join the fun!
Lego Fans Triumph! 09/01/2010 02:29 PM
A couple of weeks ago, we made the trip to Austin, TX for the Lego Games Tour. It was the closest tour city to Corpus Christi and since our son and now apparently our daughters are lego fanatics, we didn't want to disappoint them. After all, when the flyer came from lego saying they would be in Austin, my son asked his dad if he would take him and he did. He took all of us plus our nephew, their cousin, to what ultimately led to a day of triumph, satisfaction, and total joy!

No bananas after surgery! 08/02/2010 04:10 PM
A little over a week ago, I had outpatient surgery at Christus Spohn Shoreline hospital. That day I spent a few hours being attended to by the nurses and of course the surgical team. When it was declared that it was time to go home, I should have protested. Why? It's bananas I tell you!
When you get locked out, mow the grass! 07/26/2010 08:27 PM
The other day, after being up 48 hours helping my sister paint her bedroom, my husband got up to take the kids to a dental appointment, which I was really glad for because that meant I could sleep in. The good husband that he is, he came over to kiss me goodbye and tell me they'll be back a little later. But, right before he left, he also managed to whisper in my ear, 'if you get a chance, mow the grass!'
Spring cleaning because of IKEA 07/14/2010 10:32 PM
Spring cleaning in summer? When you say those words, you can hardly believe it. After all, the season of summer doesn't necessarily bring thoughts of moving out your furniture, going through your stuff, dusting, throwing out or donating the old, possibly painting, and simplifying your cluttered life does it? Well, surprisingly enough, for us, it kind of does. Why would we forgo the swimming, the basking in the sun (or as we say in Texas, 'baking in the sun', beach visits, or just enjoying our nice air conditioned home to sweat, dust, and work so hard?
