Let kids be kids



Every night we like to take my son Gray out for a walk. He loves anything to do with the outdoors. For the last week it has been raining every single day and night so our out door activities have been pretty limited, even though he wouldn't mind being in the rain I wasn't having it. 

 Finally yesterday it was a beautiful day, THANK YOU! So naturally we take a walk around our neighborhood. Every puddle he swishes his feet in and jumps around. We approach a giant puddle and Gray goes running full force and disappears! This puddle must have been at least 2 feet deep. We panic for a moment about to dive in and all of a sudden he pops his head up from the water with the biggest smile I have ever seen. Neighbors started coming out watching him, and probably judging us as parents, but let kids be kids. If they want to swim in a 2 foot puddle let them! 










How can you say no to that smile? 

Of course posting this on my personal FB account I had some backlash from family. But really what's the harm? Look how happy my guy is!

Stay Sexy, Don't Get Murdered: The Podcast That Created a Community

For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with true crime. But it wasn't always appropriate or in the norm to share your love of serial killer documentaries or how many "I Survived" episodes you have watched. My Favorite Murder, the podcast starring Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark aired January 13, 2016 the first pod called, "My Firstest Murder." Since the start of this podcast an entire community has began and my sense, and thousands of others sense of feeling inappropriate is totally out the window. All of us "Murderinos" as we now like to refer to ourselves, realize there are so many people out there who.... love murder. I know that sounds awful but if you are a murderino you know exactly what I am trying to say. To break it down, Karen and Georgia are two comedians who discuss a murder they chose, weekly. They do research on a particular murder, kidnap, or just terrifying story and give the raw details while remaining hyster

Day 5

Chose your company wisely. Surrounding yourself with people who bring you joy is important. It not only brings positivity to your life but it also brings balance. There are going to be days you aren't feeling so great and you need to have some people in your life that make things worth the while. So today, get together or just give someone a call you haven't seen in a while that brings you positive energy. It doesn't have to be someone you haven't talked to in years ( or it can be ) or it can be someone you just saw a few weeks ago. Get a little positivity life refresher from someone who matters.

Day 25

We have come so far on this journey of self love! I hope that if you have read one or all these posts you have felt some what of a change in how you view yourself.  Today we are focusing on learning something new. It is a glorious Sunday morning which indicates to me, anything is possible. So today decide what it is that you want to learn! It could be something simple, or something a little more challenging that today might be the start of your learning adventure.  Some examples could be learning a new way to cook, a new exercise, painting, learning another language; the options are endless! Something you don't know how to do today is something you can learn how to do.  I found an awesome 8 step tutorial on Pinterest on watercolor painting! It looks so fun and it's something I have never tried before. I also have always wanted to learn how to do that beautiful handwriting people can do?! It's just stunning the way people can write and create beautiful pieces just by simply
