Find Your Local Parks and Recreation

With the weather heating up around the nation. (finally for some)  it's time to enjoy our parks.  To find what amenities your local parks have or a specific type of activity check here ~> http://www.parkgrades.com 

I stumbled across this site while trying to find the nearest splash pad to my house.  I discovered we have many more parks in our local area than I originally believed (or what Google was telling me)

Dads make a difference

I hope all the many different types of Dads have a great Father's Day.

 It's not just biology that makes a Father, but the more you care for your baby the more you will actually want to.   Especially those first scary weeks; when women experience a burst of oxytocin following childbirth, men can too!  Being present in your child's life makes a huge difference not just in your life, but your child's as well.

I wanted to share this article I recently found about how Dads are more important than Mom in some cases.

It doesn't take staying married to the mother of your child to be a good father.  Just remember that you are their co-parent.  Divorce and separation are always harder on the children, as they didn't choose this situation or have any control over it at all.


Thank you to my wonderful husband.  For always doing whatever it took to take care of your family even at the cost of your pride and ego.  Thank you for standing with me when others tried to pry us apart by any means.  I love the wonderful kids I am raising with you.  I will be proud the day our sons grow into amazing men just like their father.





Happy Father's Day

Super Hero in our House.

Time for a Baby Shower!

NOT MY BABY SHOWER! 
Today I get to go to my niece's baby shower.  
I made her a fruit salad.

Took me about an hour and half from start to finish.  Would have gone faster if I hadn't misplaced my specialty tools in one of our moves over the last 15 years. Only the crinkle cut on the honeydew and cantaloupe were done by a crinkle tool. The edging on the watermelon I did by hand.
