We are so thankful to have my husband’s cousin and her family living near us in the Tampa Bay area. Sadly, we usually see the “out-of-state family” in Florida at weddings and funerals; this has been great to reconnect. We had an awesome BBQ and evening together. With neighborhoods doing their own fireworks show in the street, we were up close and personal to the booms and bright colors! We all had a great night!
5 Moments of the Month - July 2022
5 Moments of the Month - July 2022

One of the best ways to prepare for something stressful coming up is to set-up plans that will refresh you and fill your ‘Mom Battery.’ A full battery will help you to have what it takes to get through challenges. This next school year will have challenges! We have never been in the Florida school system and there will be many things to get used to. So, our family put together a Back to School Bucket List. We wanted to have some fun before the calendar gets full of homework and activities. We checked quite a few things off of our list in July! Here is our family’s 5 Moments of the Month from July 2022.
Moment #1 - Re-uniting with Family
Moment #2 - Will the Tooth Fairy find us?
Moment #3 - Is that Jaws?
Moment #4 - Perfect Timing
Moment #5 - Let's play ball...out of the heat!
We had a great month of moments together and checking off more items on our Back to School Bucket List. I feel refreshed and ready for the upcoming school year!
