Sometimes life gets so regimented that I forget the power of the little things. Catching a virus turned our normal daily schedule up on it’s head and reminded me that sometimes a little unscheduled play outside is just what is needed to re-set. A quick hour outside seemed to wash the crankiness away and that is a great thing.

School starts in one week. That’s right, summer is already over! I fretted and worried last June over what we would do and whether I would survive my first summer as an “at home” mom. And it flew by! This summer my kids never once told me they were “bored.” We relaxed in the pool…
It’s the second most wonderful time of the year….for Disney day trips that is! This is the best time to go to Disney. As a long time season pass holder and Florida resident, it’s taken me years to pack the “perfect” bag to bring into the park. (I am so glad that my kids are…
I have to admit, I am not one to make a big fuss over the little “graduations.” Graduating from high school and college are huge accomplishments that signify a new phase in life. Often, I feel that preschool, kindergarten, sixth grade, (etc) graduations take away from the importance that is Graduation. I watched in amused…
As a military wife and daughter, I’ve been raised to be a proud citizen of the United States. I was born on Clark AFB, grew up on military bases and married a man that grew up on military bases–but our kids are not. My husband finished his tour as a submariner before our kids were…
Bubbles are magical. They turn tears into laughter and frowns into smiles. Even though my kids are getting older they still get the same look of wide eyed joy whenever I pull out the bubbles. We are big supporters of outdoor play. I firmly believe that more outside play leads to emotionally, mentally, and physically…
This post was sponsored by RaceTrac but all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. This year the kids are in a new city and new school. While I am normally the mom throwing the new school year celebration as soon as they walk out of the door–in the peace and quiet of my silent…

It was great. They had a chance to run around and I got to follow them with my camera. I tend to take so many pictures in the warmer months that they get annoyed. I guess it’s been a while because even my son was cooperative!
It is so nice they can get out and have fun outside. 🙂 I love his helmet! Great pictures!

Thanks Becka! I didn’t realize it had been so long since I took “fun” pictures with my camera. I like taking photos of crafts but I really LOVE capturing the little expressions that the personalities of my children.
