Figuring out this whole parenting thing one playground at a time
I don’t know about you but I am ready to say goodbye to these hot summer days and welcome the cooler days of fall! I have been so excited to see that many places here in Atlanta are going to have fun fall activities in the coming weeks. I have compiled a list of 10 [...]
Every night when I say goodnight to my babes I ask them what their favorite part of their day was. I love hearing what stood out for them about the day especially on the days that feel really hard. Yesterday was a hard day. Lucas had hit his wall of virtual learning for the week [...]
It is just a few days shy of six months since the last time my hubby stepped foot into his office. The whole week of his birthday I teased him relentlessly about how his birthday was cursing me because it was the same week as a time change and full moon and our kids were [...]
Almost a year and a half ago I sat across from a children’s developmental psychologist as she told me the results of Lucas Autism evaluation.

“𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭.”-Christopher MooreThe number one reason I love taking little adventures with my kids is because they find magic wherever they go. We went to the cutest little “fairy garden” hidden away in the Georgia mountains yesterday and watching their excitement over every single detail made the long drive [...]
With only a few more weeks until school is back in session, however that may look for you, everyone is trying to soak up all the summer they can. The last few weeks local splash pads and aquatic centers have started opening back up and I wanted to share a few places that would be [...]
As we quickly approached almost six months since our last adventure out of town as a family I felt the travel bug creeping up on me. While we were ready to go on an adventure we weren’t too sure if we were ready for busy beach towns and crowded hotels quite yet. While I was [...]
A lot of us have had to change summer vacation plans this year. While I can’t wait to take our kids on a beach trip to see the ocean it will probably have to wait until next year. While lake beaches aren’t the same as ocean beaches they can still be lots of fun! I [...]
