Father's Day 2020

What a great day we had on Sunday, Father's Day- and it was my mom's birthday!
It was such a full day of fun, water, sun, food and family!
The last few years we have had Father's Day at the beach with Ben's family- 10 siblings, Pa, us in laws and the grand kids! It was the first time getting together with them since COVID happened. Then we ended the day with a cook out at our house with my parents and sister's family and our cousin Roman who we haven't seen in awhile and we missed him!
The kids definitely had a blast by the way they fell asleep so quick. 

Here is us celebrating some of the special people in our lives!



To my love 💗
Here are the best little pieces of you. You were born for this. You were born to be a dad. Not just a dad- a great dad. That’s you! Thank you for being my partner in raising these three little monsters! I couldn’t have picked anyone better!! Thank you for choosing them everyday, these little pieces of you. Thank you for helping me spoil them and give them a childhood they will take with them forever.

It’s your day and you have still been the glue to hold us all together getting everything done!

I love you for all your hard work, patience, sense of humor, passion and love you give to the world and us! These kids do not know how lucky they are, but I do! Happy Father’s Day!!! Xoxo



Happy Father’s Day to these amazing guys who teach me something new everyday.

To my dad ❤️
The one who gave me this crazy curly hair, but forgot to give me his metabolism- thanks lol. The one I share the same twisted sense of humor and love for the unloved things- like the side of the road trash “oh I can do something with that!” You taught me that you can’t take life to serious. The one who made me fall in love with frozen cokes from Burger King. Thank you for being an amazing grandfather! You can do no wrong to these kids! We love you so much!

To my bonus dad, my father in law ❤️

 In you I find a friend I never knew I needed. A kind, gentle, patient, humble man who I get to learn from. From you I learn about family, love and to see the best in people! Thank you! And thank you for raising such an amazing man for me and my kids! We love you so much!

I hope to share many more Father Days with you both!!!



To my mom on her birthday💓

My best friend. As the years go by and we both get older, we grow closer. Someday things will be different, someday you won't be around to just call up when something funny happened, or I need to vent. So right now, I will cherish every birthday, every mother's day and all the other holidays with you. I will continue to make memories to take with me forever and that my kids can look back on. Today we celebrate you (and the dads lol) Thank you for listening and (mostly) always being on my side, and calling me out when I need it. Thank you for your sense of humor and generous heart and loving the more simpler things in life and giving me those same qualities, even when they can be a downfall. 

The room lights up with you in it!

Happy Happy birthday!!

Happy Father's Day to this guy!
Spoiled mama 💕
 The end of a long day

The Strength In Our Scars

Mental Health. Depression.  Anxiety.  I know I missed "Mental Health Day", but this is something that needs to be talked about more than just one day in October. This is something that needs awareness and education everyday. More than "40 seconds of action". Come on! I wanted to share this even more when recently I found out a beautiful young girl I know is suicidal. She reached out. She got help and her courage inspires me. What I would do to hold her tight and take her pain away. So let’s talk about it for a second. This has been sitting on my chest and weighing me down for far to long. Something no one likes to talk about. We ALL have mental health. We all have highs and we all have lows, some lower than others. It's something that needs to be normalized. The way a cold is simply just that, normal, everyone gets a cold. This is a far too sensitive subject. You have a cold? You take medicine. You have cancer? You get treatment. You break ...

Hello!

It’s been such a long time since I blogged. Since I wrote about what’s on my heart. So much has changed, yet so much has simply stayed the same.  I started writing this post last August 2024 - over a year ago now! But I obviously didn't get very far. Always drinking in the last drop of golden summer sun and air, enjoying all my kids home, distracted by life. A beautiful beautiful life! So here I am now, trying to get one post in before the year turns over to a new one again! We are 3 days away from Christmas, so we’ve been busy with the hustle and bustle. 2025 has been a good year.  Last August (2024) when I started this post-, I was probably dreaming of a baby to hold in my arms, as I have for many years before- well after many negative pregnant tests -February 2026 that dream will come true!! We are adding to the clan! So here I am in the third trimester. I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy because it will definitely, most likely be my very last. It’s been a tough pregna...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...
