Sweet, Sweet, Summertime!

As you know I worked for an after-school program for the past two school years.
This year, in particular, I was able to use some of my "teacher skills."
It wasn't bad, in fact, I learned a lot about myself and I've identified some of my teaching style which will help me, obviously in the long run, ha! I've been very grateful for this job and I love each of my kiddos and their families.
But as of yesterday, its SWEET, SWEET, SUMMERTIME!
If you don't know summer is one of my favorite seasons, I love the warm weather and being able to travel and do fun adventures with my friends and family.
Some of you have contacted me and asked me to give suggestions on what to do with your children/loved ones this summer. Here are 20 items you can do for little or no cost:

1. Do your local library's summer reading program
(this is geared more towards the children)
2. Finish an outdoor project
3.Catch lighting bugs (fireflies) in a jar
4. Visit a local farm
5. Go on a picnic
6. Draw with sidewalk chalk
7. Go fishing
8. Camp out in the backyard
9. Chore Wars!
10. Overcome a fear
11. Visit a zoo
12. Go for a bike ride
13. Go swimming
14. Play flashlight tag
15. Volunteer at your local animal shelter
16. Visit family 
17. Go star gazing
18. Make s'mores
19. Go to a farmer's market
20. Have a water balloon fight

There are many more fun things to do in the summer that can provide wholesome and fun activities for your loved one. If you have more suggestions let me know, I'm always up for an adventure!

Until next time,
XOXO

Don't Put Yourself Through That

It's not always easy deciding to stop loving something that you've loved for so long, that you wanted forever. The first few days you are strong about and then BAM it hits you like a ton of bricks. You immediately start crying and wish that it had worked out and you don't completely understand why it didn't. You get mad and frustrated. You had all these plans made, you had all of these dreams you two were going to put into reality one day. It's hard to give up something that you loved. But deep down you know it's for the best. You've struggled for so long but you have the faith that your Heavenly Father is on your side and He will only do what is best for you. So  Don't Put Yourself through   the heart ache of wishing things were different because that person was put into your life for a reason, you learned a lot from those months you were together and you should be thankful for them. Remember it's not always going to be easy, but w...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible.  I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...
