Let Your Kids Be Creative & Let Yourself Too
I have always enjoyed being creative. Doing my own thing, recreating an idea I saw, or taking an idea and putting my own spin on it. Awhile back my hubby gave me Joanne Miller\’s (new at the time) book, \”Be Your Finest Art: Awaken Your Creative Self\”. She co authored it with Dorsey McHugh.

Calendars, Planners, Lists & More ~ Simplifying, Streamlining, & Setting Up My Planner
A few posts back I talked about my planner and laying things out just a little bit, but said I would come back around to a blog post just about my planner.

Why We Love Swim Lessons & Goldfish Swim School Too
My kiddos love the water! My youngest is more fearless when it comes to it. He will splash water in his face, fill stuff and dump it out, and go for hours. If you try to get him to be done because you can tell he is cold he gets mad. He keeps askingContinue reading “Why We Love Swim Lessons & Goldfish Swim School Too”
Road Trip Anxiety
I will be honest… I get stressed, anxious, and worried about road trips. Didn\’t happen much until I had kids. Even then, after having one kid, road trip adventures didn\’t seem so bad. I even got the nerve up to go on a few on my own. Just my son and I. Granted, the driveContinue reading “Road Trip Anxiety”
