First Sno Cone Moment | Family Focus Friday Birthday parties are awesome, especially when they aren’t mine! We recently welcomed in summer in grand fashion! HUGE Bouncy-Slide turned into a water slide, tons of kids screaming, smiling and covered in muddy/grassy/ wet goo…and sno cones. Remember those things? They do packages now for bouncy houses […]
15 Summer Goals for My Kids | Family Focus Friday It’s been a long time since a Family Focus Friday. And today, I have an important one. I’m counting on you. Yes, I need you guys to hold me accountable this summer. I have big plans and high hopes for my two little treasures this […]
Family Focus Friday | The Shut Up Challenge “So, are you gonna blog about that?” It’s a line I often hear now that I’m a blogger. Sometimes at the end of a joke. Sometimes just a way of trying to get me to talk. But sometimes it’s a challenge. It’s not often that I step […]
Family Focus Friday | Bragging Without Guilt Bragging. It’s a word that has a negative connotation in today’s society. To share good news about someone (yes, even about oneself) is often times looked down upon, seen as snotty, righteous and selfish. We seem to be so focused now on making sure that everyone feels as […]
Family Focus Friday | The April Fools Is On Me I don’t think I’ve ever felt so many emotions in a 2 minute period in my life. It was horrifying. It was gut wrenching. It was relieving. It was a single moment in my parenthood where I felt like a complete failure and champion at […]
Family Focus Friday | Spring Break Gone Wild I know, I know. It’s been awhile since I’ve done the Family Focus Friday. Trust me when I say it’s been on my mind. But of course, deadlines, family duties, that sleep thing….I had way too much on my plate. That’s not to say family focus has […]
Family Focus Friday | From Behind Never Looked So Good So I’m a little “behind,” but we actually had no plans this year for Valentine’s Day. I know, weird. So in an effort to make the most of the day, we decided to plan something fun AND during the day for the kids. Grabbing a […]
Family Focus Friday | My Marriage Proposal & Chocolate Cake It’s Friday the 13th. And it’s also the Friday before Valentine’s Day. But fear not, because I am not here to scare you. This post today is all about LOVE. My marriage proposal. And why chocolate cake matters. As we take a hilarious walk down […]
Family Focus Friday | While My Back Is Turned I never had this problem with my son. Stealth. Within seconds, my daughter can unravel a whole roll of toilet paper in a single bound. She can climb high couches. She can swing from a teetering shelf. I swear, I’m an awesome parent. But this monkey […]
Family Focus Friday | Baby Number 3 I thought it’d be something that we’d wait on. Maybe in a few years when the kids were older. Or when the blog settles down. Or possibly when our finances are more stable. Or maybe when hubby was more “on board.” But much to my surprise, I’m here […]
