I was having a really tough time with something the other day and I thought about posting to online “I don’t mind when things don’t go how I hoped for myself, but why doesn’t it say anywhere in a parenting manual how much things hurt when things don’t work out for you kids?” I had the thought in my head but decided against posting anything. I … Continue reading In Defense of Facebook
One of the best parts of our trip to Ohio this summer was when we spent a night on our old street with our neighbors. We had an evening of absolute fun just catching up and letting the kids run free. That evening, I stuffed myself full of my friend Jen’s delicious Banana Cream Pie. She graciously shared the recipe with me and I recreated it … Continue reading Heavenly Banana Cream Pie
Hi all!!!! I hope you’ve had a blessed summer and I’m soooooo glad to be back! I took a little bit of time off for travel, now it’s time to catch up! This past month we visited family in CLEVELAND and it was hopping.

I’ll be the first to admit that before moving to Florida, my expectations of Animal Kingdom were similar to many folks….it’s a glorified zoo. Hop on a few fast rides, hitch a ride on the safari and call it a day by late afternoon. I’ve now come to fully appreciate the park SOOOO much more but it’s all in the approach. And even better….the park … Continue reading New at Disney: Animal Kingdom Open at Night!
Recently I took my first solo cross country trip with my 4 boys, ages 5 and under. It wasn’t the most perfect flight but at the end of the day I was proud of how things went overall. If I can do it, so can you and I’ll tell you how. A few weeks prior I let the boys know we would be flying. As the date … Continue reading Flying Solo with 4 Sons
I wasn’t going to do another post this week but I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened in Orlando. It’s very surreal reading about both the nightclub tragedy and the drowning at Disney knowing that both took place right down the road. I’ll touch a little on both…but first I have one request. For all of my prayer warriors out … Continue reading Reflections from Orlando
Father’s Day is coming and you may be in search of the perfect gift. Look no further as I’ve assembled a dandy of a list for you!

I know most people are dancing with joy for summer, but as the school year ends I can’t leave without telling this to our teacher first…. Continue reading A Letter to My Son’s Kindergarten Teacher
It’s time for a Memorial Day picnic and you need something easy to make- well check it out! Growing up I never liked coleslaw. I’m not sure if it was the taste or texture…I’m pretty sure it was a combo of the two. Despite this, I’ve cobbled together a recipe that not only I enjoy, but others love ❤ It’s a simple, fresh dish just … Continue reading Coleslaw Even A Coleslaw Hater Would Love
Well it’s that time of year again….summer is coming and that means the kick start of exciting, followed by slightly panic inducing, preparation for road trips! PARTY IN THE CAR! Our family travels a LOT. If I’m not packing for one trip, I’m unpacking from another. Below is an outline of our travel setup- I hope this helps you in any way get some structure … Continue reading Road Trip Survival Guide
