Jai’s Glow In The Dark Park Party

Published on by officiallykim4 Comments

When Jai Bird has her birthday, I generally find it difficult to figure out a theme for the party🤔 She wants to be just like her big sister so she goes for the things Buzzy Bee enjoys, like Barbie dolls and Disney Princesses. This year, however, Jai Bird began to lean into things that appealed to her unique character. While she would never turn down a Barbie, I’ve noticed her confidence solidifying once she finds something that suits her personality. This year, I’m glad we saw more of her individuality so that party planning wasn’t nearly as challenging compared to past years 😅

39 Years Young

Published on by officiallykimLeave a comment

I am thrilled to be celebrating my 39th birthday! It’s been quite a journey so far, with its ups and downs, but I’m grateful for the experiences that have shaped me.

In the Bible, there is a verse in Psalm 144 that states, “Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.“. Sometimes I truly do feel the impact of that reality; I start my day on a jolt and before I know it, bedtime is knocking at my door 🤦🏾‍♀️.

For birthdays, however, I try to savor all the details that make the experience truly special. As I approach the end of my 30s, I’m taking the time to appreciate the meaningful moments in my life.🥳

Did Someone Say Unicorns?? 🦄

Published on by officiallykimLeave a comment

So my daughter has finally caught on that every year we have a theme for her birthday. This year, she actually started making requests a few months in advance of her big day. This really helped me out because sometimes I can get over zealous trying to figure out what to do and then before I know it, I’ve got too many ideas cooking 🤦🏾‍♀️

2024 Family Summer Cruise

Published on by officiallykim4 Comments

I’ve been on a looong hiatus from writing. I miss it 😭 Even though I’ve been out of my writing pocket, the summer was full of adventures galore. My phone is literally bursting with photos! We got to try blueberry picking at Blase Family Farm, both girls got to ride horseback at a friends birthday party, we stacked mad legos at Rouge Brick, we got to pet and learn about a chinchilla at the local library, they got to go bowling at Main Event, took a trip to The Illusion Museum in Dallas, and visited Disney Princess friends at Nebraska Furniture Mart 😅

Happy Birthday Mom

Published on by officiallykim2 Comments

My mom is a wonderful person. Growing up, she always encouraged us, supported us, and taught us to fear the Lord. If you’ve never read Proverbs 31 (I highly recommend it; it’s a great read), it speaks of a woman who fears God and the impact it has on her household. My mom is such a woman. She has had such an impact on me and my sisters that we decided to surprise her with a birthday getaway to Broken Bow, Oklahoma.

Owning October in December

Published on by officiallykimLeave a comment

I am soooo late with posting this🤦🏾‍♀️ October is our busy month and it only took a couple November and December to finish writing 🤦🏾‍♀️ We have multiple family birthdays and an anniversary to celebrate at the end, all while trying to avoid being inundated by our regular family wear and tear. Most years have been phenomenal and genuinely pleasant, however this year there were several hiccups that truly made this year’s October more of a challenge than usual.

Rainbow Princess 4th Bday Party

Published on by officiallykimLeave a comment

It seems like only yesterday I was holding my little Jai Bird as a bundle in my arms. What happened to that tiny human who was more content to sit in my lap as a baby??

She has changed a lot in a good way. On the daily, I feel like I’m experiencing a petite human rainbow child. Jai Bird has the nerve to vividly stand out against the backdrop of life. She rarely shirks from a challenge, is a copious risk taker, and has little problem being direct about who she is or what she wants.

In order to celebrate all things her, we decided to throw a bright colorful rainbow party at Lone Star Gymnastics for her birthday 🌈

Date Night: Clay Pigeon

Published on by officiallykim2 Comments

The mister never ceases to amaze me when finding interesting places to dine. Lately, we have been fans of this show called “The Bear” so he’s been on the lookout for restaurants that give a similar vibe. On one of the more recent date night visits we hit up a local spot called Clay Pigeon. I never heard of it, but I’m so glad we gave it a shot 😊 Clay Pigeon is Chef owned and operated so it did NOT disappoint!

Come On Barbie, Let’s Go Party

Published on by officiallykim2 Comments

When I was a kid, I didn’t think too much of dolls. I remember enjoying my Polly Pocket (I’m of the era where they could actually fit in your pocket lol). I also had a Popples stuffed toy that I really loved and a baby doll that I could feed.

Of all the toys I can distinctly remember playing with, I do remember my gymnast Barbie the most. This was during a stage in my young life where I wanted to start gymnastics and be just like Dominique Dawes.

I saw the value in playing with various dolls throughout my childhood, so when my oldest requested a Barbie themed birthday, I was like “Say less” 😂
