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!

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 ...

No Bake Super Cookie

Anyone else struggle with after school snacks? My kids, they LOVE junk. They walk in the door begging for candy, chips, cookies. All the things they don't need. I've made it a mission of mine to provide them healthy options when they get home. Today we are mixing up an old favorite &&& we even put a spin on it! No Bake Cookies, make with my supershake (Shakeology). We did vanilla & chocolate because my oldest is just like me; NOT a chocolate eater. So he has peanut butter flavor. These boys are gonna go nutsssss for these. I LOVE this option because its sweet, so to them its a treat. But it has the vitamins and nutrients from my supershake to help fuel their body (it acts like 7 salads) so #momwin I don't feel guilty packing this in their lunch, letting them grab a couple as they run and play. No Bake Super Cookie Ingredients: 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology OR vanilla Shakeology 1 cup oats 1 cup Peanut Butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup coconut o...

Turkey Run Start Park

This weekend we decided to get away for the day. Our family needed an unplugged day outside with each other. Honestly we have only hiked together a few times because, well kids. Its hard with 3 littles all so close in age. When one wants carried, they ALL want carried. With summer coming to an end I'm making it a goal to get outdoors before it's too cold. Anyways, we decided to go for it. It was a drive for us, but came prepared. We packed extra outfits for the boys along with food for lunch. If you're like me, you're all for saving money so here is what we had! We  prepped a cooler with fruit, tortillas, lunch meat -- specifically chicken and pepperonis-- cheese, crackers, carrots, raisins; just things that are simple, easy & we can take on the go. PLUS lots and lots of water. In the map we weren't sure where to plug in our GPS so we stopped by the camp store before we  went too far and the cashier was sooo helpful. The shop was awesome. In front o...
