Something Like Life

Being a stay at home mom for so long, and even a home schooling family I was use to having so much time with my kids. This past year my kids returned to public school and I think the transition was rougher on me then the kiddos! This summer we are celebrating our summer in style and have found so many great ideas on Oriental Trading's web site. I just wanted to share with you guys a few of our favorite items for our summer adventures.
     As you know we are a family who loves to spend time in the mountains. Hiking and exploring are a way of life. My kids loved the idea of getting their own compass on our trips in the woods. Now we know we can always find our way with these brightly colored compasses.

     I wish dearly that we were able to spend all of our time in the mountains, but unfortunately that is not always an option. We love spending time away from the television playing games as a family. When I saw these giant backyard dominoes I was in love! My kids love to play dominoe…

Life has been so crazy that I feel like I don't even know where the last 6 months have gone. Work, work, work, is all I feel that I have done. I have decided it was time to start doing things for me again! Working out, blogging, jsut enjoying my life :) obviously I must continue to adult and work still but I feel like I have lost me and need to get back tot aking care of me!
