There have to be terms other than "family-friendly" that describe things in which both parents and children, alike, are not bored out of their skull at, right? It seems the term is most often used to describe movies that a parent can sit through and maybe chuckle twice. We've done our best below to collect a few "family-friendly" events that go beyond two chuckles in this week's Seen and Heard. Check 'em out below and have a great weekend!
Read MoreTRASHION FASHION AT REDBUD 2015
Instead of throwing that cardboard coffee sleeve into the recycling bin, why not wear it as a cuff or a leg warmer? Sound weird? That's the type of thinking that went into the creation of Denton's Trashion Fashion Program. The award-winning program is now in its fourth year and keeps getting better and better. The City of Denton's Solid Waste and Recycling Department, SCRAP Denton, Keep Denton Beautiful and a few other awesome local organizations use the Trashion Fashion initiative to invite designers of all ages to create clothing (or what they call "wearable art") from materials that would otherwise end up recycled or in a landfill. College fashion design students enter, as well as pubic school students and adults. Every year, they see designs that really earn that "wearable art" title; impressive garbs from all ages made from items as inconspicuous as dryer sheets or newspaper clippings.

What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got a handful of images from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX. And what a week it was. Saturday, alone, was Doctor Who Day, The DIME Store's 2nd birthday, and the opening of the Community Market for this year. And that was just Saturday! Once again, we did go a little bit beyond our self-imposed 20 photos per post rule with this one, but just because there were so many good ones.
