A small collection of photos that I have taken on our walks. We are enjoying the warm weather still, and hopefully it continues for a little bit longer. 🙂

Image Credit Summer vacation is something that all kids look forward to. However, unless you are willing to give them the extra support that they need, there’s a good chance that they’ll become bored long before it’s over. Thankfully, keeping them entertained doesn’t need to be as difficult as you…

Look at this super fun kite that I received from Get Childish! We have lots of windy days here in North Dakota, and flying a kite is a wonderful way to get out there and spend time in the sunshine! 🙂 Before receiving this kite, we’ve had numerous other kites….

Have you seen the recipes for those Industrial Strength Bubbles floating around out there? {Get it? Floating..haha!} 😉 I found a recipe on Pinterest and knew that I definitely wanted to give it a try. My girls love blowing bubbles. I do, too. I mean, who doesn’t love bubbles? This…

Yumms! BBQ Grill Mats {set of 2} My hubby is the “griller” in our family and it takes a lot to impress him when it comes to grill accessories and such. When I handed these over to him, he was intrigued and really interested in trying them out. We had…

Elmwood Park is a really nice park that is near our house, and it’s walking distance! Imagine our surprise the day we went and found something new there. A zipline {for kids, of course!} Well, I guess you would call it a zipline, right? You decide. 😉 Jump and go!…

Hello friends! Just wanted to share a few more beauties in my butterfly island. It is full of color and looking so pretty. I want to enjoy them as long as possible, because before you know it fall will be here, and the blooms will fade away. 🙂 And here…

Every year our neighborhood has something called “Night to Unite”, where the neighborhood comes together for a night out of fun. I’m sure this is something that happens all over, although the names for it may differ. 😉 I just wanted to share a few photos from our evening. It…

Our vehicle was so dirty! It still had nasty, dead bugs all over the front from our road trip {weeks ago!} I know….ewww, right? My oldest daughter mentioned she would like to wash our vehicle, so I said..”Hey, why not? {Free car wash!} 😀 Both of my girls had a…
