Mom Time Coupons

I think I'm addicted to activities & jars:)
This one is our "Mom Time" jar. I currently spend a lot of quality time with my sons, yet after a conversation with my oldest, it was brought to my attention that they would like 101 time with me away from the other sibling. This had not even crossed my mind. So if you know me, you know I went right to pinterest & searched mother/son dates & came across these cool Mom Time Coupons. They were free to download & print & that's what I did & finished them off with lamination & a cute jar. Unsure of how I'm going to roll it out, yet I know they will be super excited. This Friday's family meeting will be one they love!

"A Night Under the Stars" Date Night

This past weekend was my husband's turn to plan date

 night & he themed it "A Night Under The Stars." I 

thought it was the sweetest. He created a fire, & we sat under the stars literally while we fished & talked. It was so nice. Our date nights are PHENOMENAL!

Summer Saturday

The first Saturday of the summer was filled with fun, learning and creativity. We visited the library, enjoyed hours at the park and ended our night making homemade pizza. What a GREAT Day!

A Lesson From The Tooth Fairy

My son's tooth came out June 11th & I've been waiting to do this:)

Someone wasn't  happy in the morning but I sure got a clean room  without repeating myself. Haha.

They keep forgetting that I was a child before I was their mom:)

Last day Of School...

My boys woke up singing "The last day of school is the best day of school." They were super excited. The end of the school year gifts I made last night  sure  widened their smile after school... Being a mother is one of the most challenging yet rewarding jobs to have and it is such a blessing to work at the school they attend.

IT'S SUMMER BREAK!!!!
