It's Friday!

-
Friday is a great day of the week, isn't it?  The end of a triumphant work week (hopefully), with the promise of a fresh start right around the corner, and in between lies time for you to rest and be replenished.

Today marked the end of a tougher week, which is fine because challenging weeks only make us stronger!  I am looking forward to spending the weekend with family, going to church, and visiting with friends.  (Weekends with volleyball/sports tournaments are super fun, but weekends without tournaments provide time to catch up on needed errands/housework, resting, and spending time with my girls!)

Here are some of our favorite things to do on a "free" weekend:

  • Sleep in!
  • Go shopping (we really love northwest Arkansas!)
  • Go to movies/rent movies
  • Go out to eat
  • Start a project (notice that I said "start" and not "finish," ha!)
  • SWIM (summertime only, please)
  • Hang out with friends
  • Spend time with grandparents, cousins, and other families
  • Read
  • Catch up on TV shows
  • Laundry (which isn't really a "favorite," but still a needed weekend chore)
  • Play games
What are your favorite weekend activities?

A Dog's Life

A Dog's Life (Kale ~ The Best Dog EVER!) Isn't he the CUTEST dog you've ever seen?  His name is Kale ~ he is a rescue pup, and I could not love him more!  Our family rescued Kale about 5 years ago ~ Here is a little bit about his story, and how our family became lucky enough to call him ours: Our family had another adorable dog, named Jack - (Captain Jack Sparrow, to be exact=).   He was a "Jack Zhu."  Unfortunately, Jack could climb fences, and loved to run & be free.  He was an escape artist!  No matter what steps we took to keep adorable little Jack safely inside our fence, he would still find a way to escape.  Many people have helped us find Jack over the years, & the Humane Society knew him by name.  (He was a fun little mess!).  Anyway, one morning that Jack escaped, he was hit by a car.  We were devastated, particularly my youngest daughter, Kate.  I thought it would be quite awhile before our hearts could own another puppy.   Fast fo

Things have been a little bit CrAzY lately......  When I am feeling stressed, I like to pause and remember the things that put a smile on my face.  Have you ever seen The Sound of Music?   If not, you definitely should!  The movie version was released almost 53 years ago, and it is wonderful!  There is a scene during a bad thunderstorm in which the children in the movie are frightened, and their nanny helps them through their fears by remembering their favorite things.  Here are a few of mine: Favorite People ~ My two daughters!  They are funny, sweet, and always know how to cheer me up! Favorite Food ~ Anything Mexican!  Specifically Tex-Mex-----YUM! Favorite Hobby ~ Reading!  I can get lost in a good book----especially a good mystery.  I also love to work puzzles. Favorite Music ~ Christian.  I'm actually very eclectic in music tasted, but Big Daddy Weave is my "go-to" when I need encouragement! Favorite Weekend Plans ~ Doing nothing ~ lol!  I love watchin

Get Outta Here! Being outside...........this seems like a concept of the past sometimes.  As an educator & a mom, I have noticed a decrease in what I like to refer to as "kids being kids."  Some students prefer to be on devices, playing video games, etc.... rather than going outside to play !  As the weather is warming up, (yay!), Here are some of my favorite activities to do outside, (as well as my daughters'): Take Walk ~ Grab a friend, and get some fresh air!  Enjoy the company, as well as the exercise.  Go on a Bike Ride ~ This is something we did more as my daughters were younger, but I have always enjoyed a good bike ride!  (I had a terrible  bike accident as a child, ouch!) Swim ~ Only when it gets warmer, of course! Play Sports ~ Basketball & volleyball are favorites in my household. Watch Sports ~ Go to a baseball, softball or soccer game! Sit outside & Read or Relax ~ I love to sit outside when there's a breeze - either on a porch
