Lawn Alternatives

Hey All,
I've actually read through quite a bit of posts from this site (though most of the ones related to what I'm asking were not in Arizona with 115 degree heat and freezing winters haha).

We are having a really hard time keep grass in our backyard. We have kids, dogs, and no one in the family has a green thumb! I was looking into clover lawns after seeing a few down in Glendale, and then reading that clover is basically a weed and hard to kill. I also had a friend of mine say she has a whole lawn of mint (which really got my attention because she said it survives everything and smells awesome when she cuts it).

Other than 1 experience and lurking peoples yards, I don't really have any ideas. Does anyone have a clover or mint lawn? How do you like it? And do you know if its safe for dogs and kids?
