Kiddie Carnival


One thing you will learn about me is I LOVE adventures and memories. If you’ve ever heard of the love languages before -- I'm a quality time type of person. Being around people makes my heart happy and makes me feel valued and worthy.  -- that could be a whole blog post in itself -- back to this post.

Another thing you will notice is that I'm all about budgeting. SOOOO adventures for cheap or free, with people I love?!? YES, please. This makes my heart explode.
A few weeks ago, Kennys grandmas assisted living home hosted a carnival! I’ll be honest I almost didnt go. But it was grocery day and I asked the boys. Needless to say, they were heard over heeeeeeelss excited to go hang out with Gramz.
The carnival was small and cute. The staff was amazing and so much fun! They gave away all the prizes. My kids, of course are competitive so they kept trying harder and harder to get all the goodies.

On top of that, they made homemade lemon shake ups, funnel cakes & corn dogs. It was 100% free and seeing the smiles on the boys and Gramz face made it worth it.

I guess my point is never underestimate the time spent with people you love. Look for things happening in your community at places you never would have guessed. Call up Grandma & let her know you want to spend time with her!

Breathless Riviera Cancun

T his past weekend, my husband and I were able to get away with a few friends to enjoy some sunshine in Mexico. Let me just say it was a much needed relaxing getaway.  Marriage is hard. Add kids into the mix, its pure chaos. We decided to get married and have kids STAT. We knew that's what we wanted and thankfully God liked our plan. But with that came struggle. We barely knew how to live with each other and love each other let alone balance other human beings. We made it a goal to go on one vacation each year, just us -- A getaway so we can reconnect and get time just us. This year we went big! My 30th, his birthday, our anniversary we had lots to celebrate so we went back to one of our FAVORITE locations: Breathless Riviera Cancun. If you’ve never been to Mexico, put this place on your list. I will warn you however, you get spoiled.  Let me share with you my favorite things about this resort!  This resort is newer (roughly 5 years). It is an all inclusive, ad...

Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips. Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that. A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other. && everyday your marriage can get better. I look back on the day I married my husband and never thought I could love him more, but here I am today with a heart so full. Each day that loves grows. Some days I want to punch him in the throat. Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other. We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us. If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give ...
