Two Smiles Are Better Than One: 12th Anniversary Trip

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share the latest blog about our 12th-anniversary trip! If you read last year’s anniversary trip write-up, you already know the challenges we faced leading up to it. We started on a rocky note that left us feeling a bit out of sorts—we didn’t even want to be around each other. A significant portion of our trip was spent in a shadowy valley 😞. However, GOD 👏🏾 IS 👏🏾 GOOD 👏🏾, and He graciously met us in that valley and led us to much greener pastures.

This year, our anniversary was the complete opposite of last year’s experience. We tried lots of unique foods, had a blast learning how to tag walls in a graffiti lesson, enjoyed our first 4DX theater experience, and wrapped it all up with some valuable insights. I can’t wait to share more—let’s dive in!

Happy Birthday Mom

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.

What An Elephant Doesn’t Forget

Have you ever been to the Fort Worth zoo? Or any zoo for that matter? We have been on several occasions and it’s always amazing BUT anytime we’ve gone a teeny tiny part of me wishes we could get just a little bit closer to some of the animals in a safe way (like the time we fed a lion in Las Vegas). Well months ago I just so happen to come across a lady who told me about elephant encounters. Of course I was all ears and began plotting a way for us to have that amazing experience for my girls during summer break.

In the town of Hugo Oklahoma, there’s an unsuspecting elephant preserve called Endangered Ark Foundation. The foundation exists to service retired Asian elephants and keep them thriving as they live out the rest of their lives.

Circle N Dairy Farm

This summer I have made the decision to do a weekly big activity with the girls to get their little brains thinking about all the things there are to learn about in our big ole world. I wanted a way to keep them engaged during the summer months, so participating in unique adventures has been a great bonding experience for us ladies.

Spring A Ling

Since it’s been a while from my last post, I figured I would do a catch up post in between. There has been a lot going on and it’s not even summer yet 😭 We’ve had everything from school events for Buzzy Bee to dinner dates to fun new experiences for both the littles. Let’s get to it 🙌🏾

Treat Yo Self: Pressed Massage Therapy

I am a huge fan of doing things here and there to treat myself. It could be anything from getting a mani pedi, reading while sipping some bomb tea, or one of my favorites, getting a massage! I just found out about this wonderful masseuse in my local city so of course I’m going to brag on her 😊. Welcome to my first experience at Pressed Massage Therapy.

A Wicked Good Time

Ah Valentine’s Day 🥰 The love, the roses, the overstuffed teddy bears. As you’ve probably guessed, I’m not big on Valentines Day. In fact, neither me or the mister are. However this go around, an exclusive Valentine’s Day menu at one of our newest favorite spots in Fort Worth tugged on our heart strings. Check out our midday lunch date escape.

Birthdays, Mardi Gras Balls, and Sky Falls

Oh how much I love a good hiatus! Enjoying these pauses and waiting to blog until I have something to say has truly made life MUCH simpler. For the last half of the month of January it’s been busy, busy, busy. I feel like I’m in my 20s 😅 Haha, jk, but 2023 sure has spun into a different gear. Let’s get into it 😊

2022 Las Vegas 10 Year Anniversary Trip

We had decided last year that for our 10 Year Anniversary we wanted to do Vegas. Vegas initially gets a bad rap from many due to its gambling and provocative scene nature BUT there’s actually tons of good clean fun to do if you’re more so looking for an “other” category of fun to enjoy.

A Very Merry Medieval Birthday

Every year for my birthday since I’ve been an adult, I’ve tried to celebrate it as much as humanly possible. I didn’t celebrate birthday’s growing up so I consider my special day as making up for lost time. I’ve generally enjoyed the medieval era as a kid. Whenever I would see the Medieval Times commercials I would tell myself, one day I’m going! And for my birthday this year, that’s just what we did!
