I did it. I left the kids with Ryan for three days. I had never left the kids up until this point – ever. The most I've never been away from any of my kids with a couple of hours. However, after earning my silver retreat with Young Living – I had to make a choice: stay home or go on a trip I earned. For some or you that would've been an easy choice. For many many years, I have turned down trips and things and I wanted to do to be home with my kids because I felt like that's where I "should" … [Read more...]
Kangaroos and Coatis -oh my!
We spent our Saturday afternoon playing with animals. We headed up to a little place out east of us called "Cathy's Critters." They go a lot of animal events for hire but on occasion they open up their main location for visitors. There were all kinds of animals but the Kangaroos and the Coatimundi stole the show. The Kangaroos hung out under the shaded areas because it was over 90*. I can't say I blame them. The kids all loved the opportunity to interact with a kangaroo! I'll be honest though … [Read more...]
Evening Ramblings
I don’t think I could have ever dreamed up the reality of this family of ours. We dreamt of the days we’d be parents. but never could I have imagined the incredible journey it would take us on. The little unique personalities of each one of our children, the chaos, the good, the bad. The way Ryan loves us. These four are my favorite people. I know I’m incredibly blessed and I also know the reality is that sometimes I take that for granted. Priorities get skewed, patience becomes short, and my … [Read more...]
Let’s ‘Take Note’ this School Year
I am note taker through and through. Give me all the pens, markers, highlighters, notebooks, and planners. If I don't write it down, it's probably never getting done. I'm just being honest.... We have an abundance of paper tools that we use in both parts of my life. I have Cultivate Powersheets , my Cultivate homeschool planner (you can print yours free here) and a notebook where I run my to do list and weekly schedule bullet journal style. That said, I use pens and paper pretty much all day … [Read more...]
Three Years Ago…
Three years ago I did something crazy. After a year of researching essential companies after having inconsistent results from store oils (friends don't let friends by grocery store oils) – I bought my starter kit from Young Living with absolute certainly they were the best you could buy. I did the research and I knew it was the best. I only believe it more than ever after visiting the farms and Young Living. That purchase created a complete lifestyle change for us that sometimes have a hard … [Read more...]
The Crayola Experience + Huge Discount for You
We have been members of the Crayola Experience in both Pennsylvania and here in Texas. The Crayola Experiences allow us to have a fun afternoon out full of creativity and fun without the mess at home. Being annual passholders it makes it super easy for us to zip in for a couple of hours and head home. However, I feel like even a one day pass offers a variety of fun for kids of all ages. Between the two locations we have been to Crayola Experiences at least a dozen times. We typically visit once … [Read more...]
