There have been so many times I have looked at some old photos and realized that I had forgotten all about those experiences. Sometimes all it takes is a picture for the flood of memories to come rushing back and that is exactly why I’m so persistent on taking photos. For myself and my family. I gather all these photos and put them into a book! …
Since parenthood began my TO-DO list has never been fully accomplished. Far too often I feel like there is NEVER enough time and too many things to do. Especially during the week.

It is so difficult to keep a tidy home, especially with children. The whole house becomes dedicated to children’s items and as they grow, the things they need piles up. However, don’t lose hope, because a tidier home is possible!..

Being a parent means that our to-do list is never ending. The moment we think we just finished our list of tasks… about 30 more get thrown back on our list. A few of these daily tasks of course includes cooking meals, getting your children to eat that green stuff on their plate, and (the best part) cleaning up afterwards! Yay!
It’s summer and children cannot get enough outdoor places to explore! Aside from all of the wonderful places I’ve mentioned in my last post, I’ve come up with a list of our top 3 beaches and more outdoorsy sites! Don’t forget to slather on the sunscreen! 😉
