Rising Tide

July 1, 2016 in Grace

Some days I feel like my brain is an internet browser with 20+ tabs open at any given time. I fall short in so many ways, there are times when my anxiety will (and has) get the best of me. For those days when it seems like the world is against me and I can…

It’s time for me to move files from my phone and camera card to my hard drive, and I am feeling a little nostalgic 😭 This tiny baby I held just a year ago is now running around in front me screaming “burger” 😂. That’s a new one, even for this mom of 5 🤷🏽‍♀️ .

2019 has been a pretty good year “book wise ”

2019 has been a pretty good year “book wise ” Normally I struggle to find books that I truly love, but there were so many this year that I was overwhelmed with what to buy and #barnesandnoble literally took all of my money. 😂 These are just a few of my favorites that I love and will probably find myself re-reading again throughout 2020. Did you have a favorite book this year?

As much as we love a good home-cooked meal, we love being able to go out and enjoy one another’s company at a great restaurant as well. Since it’s the holidays and the last day of work and school, we decided we would do a family night out at @bwwings . My husband and son could enjoy sports on the big screen, and the kids who have been begging for weeks to have wings can finally enjoy some! Buffalo Wild Wings serves @shamrockfarmsmilk which is locally sourced from its family of farms. Since milk is the no. 1 source of calcium and offers 8g of protein, it’s the perfect way to soothe your pallet and beat the heat.

Let me know in the comments your favorite type of wings! (Sponsored)

She thinks because she doesn’t see any gifts out

She thinks because she doesn’t see any gifts out that we haven’t Christmas shopped. Truth be told we just did yesterday 😂 I’ve tried to be bit more intentional with what I buy, but this year was hard.
We have always done the 4 gift Christmas: want, need, wear, read. And it’s worked out perfectly, but as the kids get older, their wants and needs become more expensive 😭 phones, MacBooks, CAR, Jordan’s, I can’t catch a break with their lists! Not to say I purchased those items, but as a parent we all want to give our kids the things they want, especially for Christmas. While I think they will be pleased, I know their will also be disappointment.

How do you handle that part of Christmas? .

Whenever my husband is able to the take the kids and do something exciting (like buying a Christmas tree), I can always tell how big of an impact just those few hours has made in them.

He works hard, and works quite a bit, so it’s not easy for him to always be as present as he likes. I think over the years he and I both have taken our time with the kids for granted. They have grown so fast and it almost feels as if it’s happened in the blink of an eye. Since Aaryn is our last kiddo, we decided to take life a little slower. No more rushing here and there, or even rushing them off to bed.
The kids and us want more moments like this, where we can just take in our surroundings and enjoy the beauty of the world around us.
