We have visited so many different beaches along the East Coast of North Carolina over the past 2 years of living here, but unquestionably we LOVE going to the Outer Banks!<br />
<br />
We have made a trip out there two times now, once with just our family, and then when my mom came to visit we made the trip out there with her as well.<br />
<br />
My main tip to enjoy the Outer Banks is to either aim for off season, as it's less crowded, or check on Groupon before you plan your trip. Being a huge tourist destination the area is a bit pricey for stays, but with a little patience you should be able to dig up a deal that makes the trip much more affordable!! The exciting part about it being tourist is there is a LOT to see and do, other than the obvious enjoying the beach!<br />
<br />
Since this post is about traveling with kids I will talk about the couple things we did that they LOVED doing with us.<br />

North Carolina Aquarium:<br />
<br />
<br />
This museum is a great one for kids and in the off season it's practically abandoned so the kids enjoyed the personal attention the workers gave them, as well as being able to run a little wild and really enjoy the displays with out the usual restraint of behaving.<br />

Wild Horses:<br />
<br />
So with this we were cheap and it was also late by the time we got out there. So we decided to find parking near by and try to walk out!! But it was almost sunset, and there was a lot of people out in their off road vehicles out to see them so there was really no chance of it happening but we had fun thinking about it and hoping it would happen. I recommend either coming in a 4x4 vehicle, or purchasing an excursion with one of the many companies in the area that do the tours because I imagine it is pretty magical!!<br />

There are so many things to love about the Outer Banks, North Carolina. It really is a get away you shouldn't miss out on!! There is so much beauty, but also tons of adventure awaiting you!!!<br />
<br />
Also maybe you will get luckier than us but there is also Kitty Hawk to check out which is such an interesting piece of History!!</div>

Fall wouldn't be the same without a trip to the Corn Maze!! This year we didn't actually venture into the corn maze as we realized the kids aren't really old enough to understand it. But Hubb's Corn Maze is a blast because they have so many fun activities already included in the cost!! We did the Hayride, Straw maze, Petting Zoo, Pumpkin Patch, and Dirt hill climbing!! But there are 2 more levels that include the train, tractor rides, bounce pads, slides and much much more!!<br /><br />It truly can be a full day adventure!<br /><br />Don't forget to bring your camera as there are plenty of fun places to take pictures!!<br /><br />There is also a few food options to keep you full the whole time, and if you feel like staying a little later watch for the movies under the stars options as well as fire-pits!!<br />

My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares is an intriguing story that really gets your brain thinking. Along with a charming love story of the times!<br />
<br />
Ann Brashares is the same author who wrote The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, her smooth easy to read narrative is very similar in this book!! Worth reading for a nice story, but the little surprise of the interesting time traveled and tested relationships that you meet through out the story gives this book the feel of something new!!<br />
<br />
It was a great read that I really enjoyed while stuck without power and then stuck in a hotel room! Another 10 out of 10 review!! Plus I think it may be a movie so check it out!!<br />

There will of course be some family things, and occasionally book reviews or recipes if I feel they really need to be talked about but my passion has always been for TRAVEL.<div>
<br /></div>
So if you love travel as much as I do be sure to check out the travel link above for all our old adventures mostly around Europe!!<br /><br />Now onto this actual post!!<br /><br />A couple weeks ago my mom was here visiting and we didn't want to spend the whole time she was here at home. We had just survived the big hurricane that his North Carolina and so beaches here were out of the question!! So instead we decided a weekend trip to Virginia would be perfect!! <span style="text-align: center;">Both her and I LOVE history stuff so going to Williamsburg was a no-brainer!!</span><div>

We started the day out with a fun horse drawn carriage ride. I highly recommend adding this to your day if you are able to because it isn't a really long ride but gives you a nice tour of the whole town so you can decide which houses and shops you want to visit.<br /><br />We paid for the sampler ticket which allowed us to do 4-5 of the homes or shops just not the <span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 16px;">Governor's Palace, the Capitol, or the Art Museums. This ticket was just the perfect amount of locations however when traveling with younger children!! It kept us busy the entire day, and there was plenty that you could do to keep them entertained and learning.</span></span></div>

During the visit there are both self guided and fully guided tours of shops and homes. It was really interesting to get a close up idea of how people lived compared to how they do now. There was lots of people working on the grounds who were more than willing to explain things, talk to your kids at their age level and tell them things about how kids used to live in that time to.<br /><br />They also have a shuttle service that runs around the parameter of the ground that makes moving from one side and back much easier as little legs start to get worn out. With many food options, and snack bars you are never far from a quick bite either. We ate at Chowning's Tavern and everyone loved their meals, and the staff stayed in character the whole time truly adding to the experience.</div>

If you love learning about history and are looking for a way to really emerge yourself in it. You should really visit Williamsburg!! It has something for everyone and could be a fun multiple day trip and just a few mins away from Jamestown which I hear is equally fun and interesting!!<br /></div>

So this book... It was my hurricane reading material!! I started reading it during Hurricane Florence and I finally finished it today while watching Hurricane Micheal run through North Carolina! That may seem like a long time to finish a book, but this book is so jam packed with information I was constantly taking notes and attempting to try out methods suggested in the book so you only get through a few pages at a time!<br />
<br />
Branding Yourself by Erik Deckers and Kyle Lacy is an incredible source of knowledge for anyone who runs a business or simply wants to land a new job! They provide details on all of the leading social media sites, but also include how to bring your brand into the real world.<br />
<br />
I could reread this book 10 times and purchase still get more information that is useful to me each time!! They include up to date sources and links to allow you to further advance the information they provide!!<br />
<br />
So if you are looking to invent yourself or your business this is the perfect book for you to read!! 10/10 recommend it!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08584059037804044385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797349623096458480.post-66060746670346069192018-10-05T06:03:00.000-07:002018-10-05T06:03:05.970-07:001st Grade Interview!!How is she in 1st grade, and almost 9 weeks into it too!!

It is as simple as cutting shampoo out of your regimen, and can be as complex from there as you choose to make it. For me I like low maintenance so my routine is very minimal. Others really like definition and their routine can take hours it just depends on your hair type and what you are expecting your hair to look like afterwards.<br /><br />Here is a Link to a Curly Girl Page: https://curlyhairlounge.com/the-curly-girl-method-explained<br />
<br />
It goes way more into detail, but there is also a Curly Girl Facebook Page which makes its much easier as they have a list of products that are safe to use: https://www.facebook.com/groups/707494335965428/<br />

<br /><br /><br /><b>As Far as What I Do!!</b><br />
<br />
When I first started it is advised to do a final wash, they have suggested products for this, I chose to go with Baby Shampoo as I had it on hand. <i>This helps get out any build up from products you had used previously</i>.<br />
<br />
Next I looked through their albums for what type of hair I have. I have Type 2 Wavy hair. This allows you to understand your hair texture more. But having your hair on your head your whole life you probably have an idea of if you have dry hair, greasy hair etc. I have very fluffy dry hair.<br /><br />Then I went through their albums to find a conditioner that was fitting. I went with something very lightweight <b>Whole Blends Papaya and Milk. </b>I chose the lightweight because to me it was a good starter conditioner that would work for both co-washing and conditioning until I could see what my hair needs more of.<br /><br />I have so far chosen to just continue using this product. I have very thick hair and this doesn't weigh me down. I am thinking about adding a bit thicker conditioner when cold weather comes back around to keep it from drying out.<br /><br />I occasionally use a Mousse from the approved list as well.<br /><br /><b>My Routine:</b><br /><br />I wash my hair with the conditioner like I usually would have with shampoo. I hear this question the most (doesn't it make your hair greasy?) and no it doesn't because as long as you rinse it out of your roots well it doesn't cause any problem. Conditioner is still a cleanser.<br /><br />Then I apply more conditioner to the bottom half of my hair and let it sit for a few mins. When I am about to get out of the shower I flip my head upside down and rinse about 70% out I do this while scrunching (this and the remaining steps are really only for curly girls).<br /><br />I leave my head upside down and continue to scrunch as much water out of my hair as I can. Then if I am going to apply the Mousse I do so while my hair is still wet.<br /><br />I get out and dry my body off with a towel ***NO TOWELS FOR CURLY HAIR** then I take a t-shirt (one of my husbands) Lay it on the bed with the collar closest to me. I then Plop my curls down on top of it so they are all scrunched up. I use the sleeves of the tshirt to tie it around the back of my head and then tuck the body of the shirt into the part around my head.<br /><br />I leave my hair up in this while I finish getting ready, or a while longer if I don't have plans. When its mostly dry I let it down, help it settle where I like it. And I am done!!<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>The Main Rules:</b><br /><br />1. NO POO (shampoo)<br />
2. Conditioners that are approved. (easy list on the facebook group I shared ^^)<br />
3. Only comb with a WIDE comb in the shower while conditioner is applied, other wise NO BRUSHES OR COMBS!<br />
4. Approved Styling products only. (using ones with sulfates, or drying alcohols will just make your hair build up and damaged and you will have to start over with a cleanser)<br />

<b>How he came back in our life:</b><br />
<br />
If you are friends with me on Facebook you have probably seen this whole journey come to life. It was a shocking event, and we really didn't expect it to happen to us ever. We were middle of getting ready to move when an email in my old email account caught my eye.<br />
<br />
My old inbox is generally full of spam I swim through and delete, you know the account you simply use when needing an email for something to get a coupon etc..Well one of the Subject lines read We have Huck.<br />
<br />
Huck? I haven't seen that name in 5 years, could this be actually a legit email or a weird coincidence? So I opened it up with major curiosity!! And there he was his handsome albeit graying little face.<br />
<br />
I was shocked and immediately had Dustin come look, my baby was in a shelter in Texas :(<br />

<b>How we were separated from Huck:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
In 2012 we were all gears ahead to move to Germany from Hawaii, I was 36 week pregnant with our first daughter, but our doctor told us we were good to fly. So we had our whole house already on its way across country, and we sitting in a hotel with just our suitcases and our pup!! He had his dr certificate, and kennel all labeled and ready. That is when it happened, we got the call from the airline that our flight had gotten pushed back. We were taking a civilian flight stateside, and there were no pet spots. They gave us the option to wait a week and get a pet flight. But my doctor said, you go now or you are staying here to have that baby.<br />
<br />
I was so heart broken, it was either fly to Germany with Dustin and have our first baby together, but leave Huck in Hawaii or stay in Hawaii alone with none of our stuff so we could keep Huck!!<br />
<br />
Obviously the choice had to be made and I wasn't going to have and raise a baby alone for the hardest first weeks, without any of our stuff. I cried all night knowing we were going to have find my battle buddy a new home right as we were leaving the island. We found a family willing to take him, and said a teary-eyed goodbye as we drove away from him in a gas station parking lot.<br />
<br />
Heart Broken doesn't describe it, I can remember how emotional and sad I was. But we made out trip and the family never contacted us again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Five years Later:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
After the initial shock of reading the email had worn off. I wrote them back saying we indeed did know that sweet pup they had in their custody. Dustin looked up the family we had given him to see where they were and if they were aware that Huck was in the shelter. (How after 5 years and a flight stateside does one not change the registration on the Chip to their contact information?)<br />
<br />
They had moved to Colorado, he had gotten out before they moved, and they couldn't find him. So they moved and from the lack of interest when mentioned to them, weren't' concerned about getting him back.<br />
<br />
So I asked Dustin what he thought about trying to bring him home so he could live out the last of his life with us! I was so excited and Surprised when he said Okay lets do it.<br />
<br />
So we took to social media to see if we knew anyone near where he was to make his trip home possible!! We were soon connected with this amazing guy Anthony!! He works with two different programs that helps find foster families, re-homing babies and apparently reuniting long lost family members!! Without all his help it wouldn't have ever been possible.<br />

<br />
<b>His Journey Home:</b><br /><br />After finding Anthony, he helped guide us through the process with the shelter to allow him to be picked up and taken from the kennel with Anthony. It was so much easier than expected and since we technically gave him up to the shelter he was cleared to be released to Anthony. From there he was taken to an amazing boarding kennel in El Paso. Howl-a-Day Inn!! The amazing staff were delighted to spend time with our well mannered pup!! He was so loved, she couldn't even bare to charge us for his near 2 week stay!! We are overly thankful for her kindness.<br />
<br />
This was when we met Ron, he is the kind soul willing to do all the crazy running around it takes to prepare a dog for a cross-country flight. He took him to the vet, picked up his kennel, took him to the airline, and even gave him some love the day before his flight.<br />
<br />
We hit our only major snag when the first airline out of El Paso decided to refund our money as it was too hot to fly him and they didn't have a/c cargo. However we were able to find him another flight with a cheaper airline for just a few days later.<br /><br />Finally he was homeward bound!! We were so excited to know he was going to be home. The kids could hardly wait to meet him.<br />

<br /><br /><b>Now:</b><br /><br />It has been nearly a week since he came home to us!! We are overjoyed everyday to have his calm and happy spirit in our house. His tail never stops wagging and he loves nothing more than to find a nice warm sunny spot and relax all day!! He and his new sister Shade are getting along pretty well, she is a bit jealous of having to share mom's attention but most the time they just mind each others space. I think his big mellow calm personality is exactly what our high wired, and anxious little girl needs in her life.<br /><br />We are blessed beyond blessed to have him back in our lives!<br />

Only this time it with Darren. He is starting much older than his sister did. Partially because if you read the blogs about our journey with her you will see we started too early, but also partially because I didn't want to. I told myself he wasn't ready, or we are moving around too much etc...But here we are finally settling into our new home, and final home for the foreseeable future. There is no more excuses. He has to start sometime, and I would be THRILLED if we got this done before he turns 3, which is just around the corner.<br /><br />So let the torture begin.<br />
<br />
We are only on day 3 as I write this blog. It feels like we have been doing it for a month already. It is seriously such a pain, those people who wrote the books about being potty trained in 3 days must be the best ever. I swear my kid spends the vast majority of his day propped up on his potty chair. He has the holding his pee power of a super human. Then the second you are not paying attention to him for even a moment, he goes in another room and pees. WHAT IS THIS???<br /><br />We have tried naked, underwear, outside. I have yet to see him actually pee. Only when he is alone and being sneaky. Haha we have a long journey ahead of us I can tell he won't be the potty training prodigy.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, he found the candy I didn't know he knew where it was. And when I went up stairs to reply to an email really quick came down to him in the corner most the m&m's gone and he had peed himself. I don't get it, this job is seriously to torture parents. I should really just be teaching him how to change his own diaper, and he can wear them as long as he likes!!! He will eventually not want to!<br /><br />On a cool note he stayed dry for nap yesterday, and over night today! So I know he can!!! Just to get him to figure out that it is okay to pee on the potty!!! Come on potty training faeries make this happen!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08584059037804044385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797349623096458480.post-64226361516949714932017-09-04T18:43:00.002-07:002017-09-04T18:43:59.634-07:001st Day of Kindergarten InterviewMy sweet girl is already a Kindergartner, some days I am in shock and think how is this possible other days I wish she was graduating!!!

As many of you know I have transitioned to mostly clean eating with that I have reduced how much sugar I eat!! It has really been easy since we were for the most part clean eaters as it was!! I just have learned more portions and I am slowly ditching processed food, and certainly reducing how often we eat fast-food (which is great for our wallet too).<br /><br />Basically everything on the outside of your store is free game. Produce, Meats, Dairy. There is a lot inside the aisles that work great too!! Favorites of ours are whole wheat flours, quinoa, beans, frozen fruit and veggies (no sugar or sauces added). Etc...If you want help making the transition feel free to comment your questions and I will write another article on it! I have also started doing a little meal planning and prepping to help me keep to my portions and be less likely to want to go out and get junk food.<br /><br />So back to the point of this blog. The kids and I were wanting something sort of sweet, but super tasty!! So we found this recipe for Healthy Banana Bread and its AMAZING!! So I thought I would share!!! No white sugar added, honey instead. And Greek yogurt replaces milk!! As well as we used whole wheat flour!! Looks and tastes just as amazing!!<br />

And we were excited to finally find a day this summer where our schedule wasn't jam packed and we could fit in a game!<br /><br />The Swampdog's are our local baseball team. They have a small stadium across town, so we loaded up and we were off!!<br />

Even as a really small league, they were so much fun to watch play, and they interacted with the crowd non-stop we were never bored!!<br /><br />The kids loved watching the mascot and his silliness! We almost got hit by a couple balls even being behind the net!<br /><br />Dustin was so excited to find out we had gone on Nerd Night, and was able to answer a couple of the questions right, winning himself a cute statue of the mascot!<br /><br />And the kids and I shook our groove thing during the dance contest, and won a free meal at Bonefish Grill!<br /><br />Over all everyone had a blast, we stuck it out until 10 pm the end of the 8th, before the kids were getting too tired and we headed home.<br /><br />After an exciting 11 to 0 game up until that point!!<br /><br />Also fun fact, Babe Ruth gained his nick name "Babe" and hit his first home-run RIGHT HERE IN FAYETTEVILLE!!!<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08584059037804044385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797349623096458480.post-40704011797499046002017-07-13T05:06:00.001-07:002017-07-13T05:06:44.470-07:00The Kidney Donors Journey: 100 questions I asked before donating my kidney; A book review<br />

This book was sent to me to read for review, and I wasn't sure if I was going to accept the offer. It isn't something I would usually read. I love novels and stories, but I thought it might be something interesting to learn about. So I picked it up and gave it a shot.<br /><br />I was afraid going in that it was going to be chalked full of medical terms, and things I wouldn't understand; However, right away I was drawn in my the light-hearted appeal of the author. He told his courageous story through humor, and honest feelings.<br />
<br />
I think this book is a essential to anyone who has ever considered donating a kidney, to a family member, or stranger. Or even to someone who wants to do some majorly self-less act of service to another person.<br /><br />Everyone is born with 2 kidneys, and our bodies only need 1 to function. So it is one of the only organs we can donate while still alive and utterly self-less! This book answers all the questions you might have and the author provides all the research you will need to do on your own, in one simple, fun and easy to read book!<br />
<br />
This book gets a 5 out of 5 for me!!! It was written incredibly, with lots of information. Yet you aren't drowning in facts, and medical terms!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08584059037804044385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797349623096458480.post-22018344585250471082017-07-07T07:55:00.000-07:002017-07-07T07:55:18.699-07:00Our 4th of July 2017So I love 4th of July, the meaning and the celebration is great. I do get a little bitter when people shoot off fireworks for days before and after. Or the ones that do it until almost midnight the day of. Haha okay enough ranting.<br />
<br />
So we always try to make the 4th of July a blast, it is after all the only big holiday in the summer time, and fun to do things you don't do on a normal day.<br />
<br />
This year we decided a parade would be a great way to start the day. We got up and ready early and headed to Hope Mills. We had double checked the parade route and headed towards the end of the route so we could find somewhere to park easily. We lined up along the street where hundreds of other people were set up waiting.<br />

The kids were so excited to see the parade, so when it finally came into site everyone was so excited. Until suddenly it turned and went a different way....everyone around us was shocked. One police officer had taken it under his own wing to simply change the route of the parade leaving all of us high and dry. So we grabbed our chairs and booked it as quickly as we could to where the parade had turned.<br /><br />We were able to catch some of the parade, as the same police officer had some floats, and fire trucks turn towards us, and others went on the original route leaving everyone very confused. The kids were really disappointed that they missed quite a few floats.<br /><br />However, they still seemed to have a good time!!</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">After the parade we ran home and had lunch and naps before heading to my dear friend Julie's house!! I was so excited to spend the 4th of July with her and her family, we hadn't seen them since we both moved from Germany! And it was so great to spend the whole evening catching up, and watching the kids play together!!</span></div>

They have been around for a long time, and are full of adorable little animals for you and your kids to enjoy. Admission is only the price of a cup of their HOMEMADE ICE CREAM. I mean who is going to turn that idea down.<br />
<br />
The kids got to enjoy a bunch of ice cream, get nice and sticky. And then pet all the animals.<br />
<br />
We went out to visit the farm with a mom group, the kids loved meeting new friends and seeing all the animals!! It was such a great trip!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from our trip to the farm!<br />

I know where I want to be, just haven't been taking the right steps to get there. But I guess its a good thing I am checking in mid way so I can use the last 6 months to figure out where I want to go from here.<br /><br />I love blogging and journalism and anything to do with pen and paper, so that is perhaps why keeping up with my Blog is so difficult. I am not a fan of sitting in front of the computer writing out my feelings or my thoughts on a screen.<br /><br />Anyways back to my Resolutions for today!!<br /><br />Here is the list!<br /><br />

2. Be more active.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
3. Try a new recipe every other week.<br /><br />In the personal section I have been working out more, it isn't as routinely as it could be, but I try to get in a hard workout about 4 times a week, I have my lazy days. We all do tho don't we! I have been reading a lot this summer I have already finished 3 books this summer already :) You can see the reviews in here somewhere most likely! And well I have put some blog work in, but its not where it used to be back a few years ago...<br /><br />Business section, I am not likely to be near where I need to be. I underestimated just how much work moving my business was going to be this time. However, I have been doing a lot of marketing, meeting new people, and I think I am getting closer to reaching a bigger goal next year. I can't wait to see things start going here!!<br /><br />House, my have things in this goal department changed HAHA....no perfect home in Oregon but over the next few months we should be house shopping, and buying and settling into a home in North Carolina. Funny how its the opposite side of the country!! But I adore it here. Best place we have lived in a long time. Its beautiful!! We did get rid a of a bunch pre move and now 6 months without a lot of it, plan to get rid of even more soon :)<br /><br />Our finances are a humble jumble right now...probably the biggest stress for me right now. We are working to get everything back organized but I assume it will take a few months to get there. We spent a lot on the move, and a lot since. Also getting used to a once a month paycheck is going to be another challenge.<br /><br />Family could also use a little more help. However I am happy with our being more active, we have been hiking, camping, walking, parks, and lots of swimming!! We are a totally different family here than we were in Texas and I love it!!! We still spend too much eating out, and we aren't being very adventurous with our foods. But we are enjoying each other more when we have time together :)</div>

This was a great little check in for me so I can see where I am and what I still need to do to reach the rest of my goal by the end of the year. I think the biggest thing will be buying a house and paying less on mortgage than we are on this apartment. I think once we do that and work on making a budget up everything else will fall into place.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and listening to my rambling. More to come soon!</div>

<br /><br />This book is so good from the first page all the way through and ended on a cliffhanger that made me NEED the next book.<br /><br />The main character Charlie is lovable and so real. You are immediately drawn to her and can't wait to see where her story leads. Finding out she has super powers and is likely not the only one is so exciting, and when she finds the school she belongs in the adventures just keep coming.<br /><br />Without giving away too much story line, you will be drawn in from the very start and the author gives away nothing as far as where the story will lead next. There are so many exciting twists and turns!!!<br /><br />If you love a little sci-fi, and mystery get this book now. While it is still free for Kindle!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08584059037804044385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797349623096458480.post-80976620681611563172017-06-08T05:26:00.000-07:002017-06-08T05:26:11.165-07:00Kid's first trip to the Beach!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnxPqwaZbHtkT0aBDEm6xXI81Z7ichKMOM5TmXxCU3Zzbe-03SaKmXjjvpiLhHb6mlhSj1C5_GjUM_JvbPrX7B8SKMOiKtX6H6SWB54FmnnsxMyoIxc_vQ88cL_g-pgViZ3uDMYG2Q_58/s1600/18222706_10212850107310289_5157204141077123035_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="540" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnxPqwaZbHtkT0aBDEm6xXI81Z7ichKMOM5TmXxCU3Zzbe-03SaKmXjjvpiLhHb6mlhSj1C5_GjUM_JvbPrX7B8SKMOiKtX6H6SWB54FmnnsxMyoIxc_vQ88cL_g-pgViZ3uDMYG2Q_58/s640/18222706_10212850107310289_5157204141077123035_n.jpg" width="360" /></a>One of the most exciting things about our move to North Carolina has been knowing we will be close to both mountains and the ocean!<br /><br />So it didn't take us very long to pack up supplies and make our way the 2 hours away to the beach!<br /><br />We were all really excited, Dustin and I hadn't been to the beach since Hawaii, and the kids had never been at all!! The drive out just couldn't go faster!<br />
<br />
We first tried to go to Wilmington beach, but since it was a Saturday we drove around for an hour and couldn't find any parking less than a mile away, so we decided to drive up the shore a way to Carolina Beach. We spent far too much time driving around there also, before finally finding a spot by a house a couple blocks from a beach entry spot!!<br /><br />We scurried to the beach in a hurry, all so eager to feel the sand between our toes. We set up camp, and everyone ran to the water.<br /><br />The kids were ever so eager to splash and play, or so they thought. It took Darren all of 3 seconds to realize he wasn't a huge fan of the waves, and HATED the feeling they gave him when he looked down as they went back out. His over enthusiastic run away from the ocean was a sight to see.<br /><br />Kyra was also not too enthused with the ocean at first. Maybe it was too cold, or just to strong, but she wasn't sure about it. So we set up camp in the wet sand to makes some sand castles.<br />

Darren was in heaven, what boy wouldn't be, given permission to sit in dirt and play for an hour. He enjoyed his beach time and we only tried one more time to encourage him to go in the water, which ended in tears. Maybe next time. Kyra on the other hand, along with a trusting hand of Dad was more willing to play in the water and enjoyed racing the waves, looking for seashells and helping Dad catch a little crab.<br />
<br />
We all had so much fun, and after a couple hours were ready to head for a snack, and ice cold drink and head back home!<br />
<br />
We can't wait until our next trip to the beach!!<br />

We got up at 4 am (way to early for me), packed for the 45-60 min trip, woke the kids, and we were on our way. In case you are wondering, very little is open that early in the morning so we headed to Fuquay-Varina empty bellies and eager minds.<br />
<br />
The drive was actually really fun, there wasn't a trace of traffic, and we got to enjoy the sunrise on our way there. After arriving and finding a place to park, we raced off to the event before the balloons took off without us.<br />

<br />
The kids were so excited once they realized what was going on and we got a close up view of the Re-max balloon being taken out and blown up. It was a really cool learning experience and the man holding one of the ropes to the balloon was super awesome telling us how things worked, and exactly what the Air Balloon Competition was and how it worked.<br />
<br />
So the race was, in the field we were standing in there was a target and a lead balloon. The lead balloon had a banner hanging off of it. The other balloons were set up in a field behind some trees. Once the lead balloon was up the others were able to start blowing their balloons up and take off. They had to then proceed to our field, and drop "dart" for lack of better word, onto the target. They would be awarded points for accuracy. This brought some of them very close to landing to get their aim right.<br />
<br />
After dropping their dart they had to follow the lead balloon to the next target, and proceed to do the same thing. I am unsure how many targets there were. But then they were also awarded points for being the quickest to finish the course.<br />
<br />
We watched them all drop their first darts, but since the rest was located further away we adventured to check out the stands. Unfortunately, nothing else opened for a few hours, and I knew by then the kids would be too tired to walk around. So we made our way home, but we all had so much fun going to the show! And can't wait til next year.<br />

Serenity the first book of a 3 part series by Craig A. Hart is a mystery thriller book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wasn't totally sure where this story was going to lead when I dove in. I have a varied interest in books, and I am always down to help an author out by checking out a book they think I would enjoy.<br /><br />This book started out like any other mystery novel. By introducing a bunch of characters, digging in deeper on a few of them, and then learning how their lives all intertwine. Craig Hart does a great job of introducing his main characters, but I have to say some of the other characters who make an appearance through out the book are a little shallow and hard to understand how they become part of the main story line. Or if their appearance is necessary at all.<br /><br />The thriller part of the novel did not disappoint. I had a hard time setting it down when I had to. You never were quite sure what was about to happen, and even up to the very end you can't believe how things play out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are looking for a good mystery novel, something quick to read, and keeps you in suspense, this novel is for you. If you are a huge fan of deep characters, and all loose ends of the story being tied by the end of the book perhaps you may not enjoy this book as much. I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt and assume things become much more conjoined when you read the second book.<br /><br />My over all review 3 out of 5. I am just a huge fan of characters that when I finish the book I feel like I lost a friend, someone I really knew, and this book didn't give me that, and doesn't really make me wanna run to Amazon right now and buy the second book. But it was a very good read other wise.</div>

If you don't have kids you may think of this as myth goes being like 3 am or something like that, you know when everyone is sound asleep and the spirits supposedly come out. But you know what the true witching hour is SO MUCH SCARIER!!!!!<br />
<br />
This time of day is usually mid-afternoon, although can land at different times of day for different families.<br />
<br />
You can usually coast through the morning, with breakfast and the TV things stay calm and before you know it, it is Lunch time which is followed by nap or quiet time. REVEL in that quiet time do it now. Even if its only 30 mins you need it. This is when you should logically re-caffeinate. But strangely you still feel great. You have had a good morning with the kids, you made it to nap you can survive the day!<br />
<br />
NO NO NO you are wrong. The witching hour is coming. Its the time of day before your significant other has gotten home from work, naps are a thing of history, and snack is just not enough. Also it always coincides with the exact time of day when you need to drink coffee, but you know if you do you will be up night. This is the time of day when your kids choose to LOSE their SHIT!!!<br />
<br />
I mean even a child who is a saint picks a time of day and loses it. The dumbest things trigger melt downs. You don't let your kid climb over the rail to the 2nd story balcony, the demon deep inside them is gonna come get you. If their sibling doesn't make their car do the back-flip just the way they did, life is going to end. Nothing during this time of day is going their way, they are miserable, and want everyone with in a mile radius to be aware of this.<br />
<br />
This is the time of day when if you ever had any thoughts of growing your family you hide in the closet wondering what the hell were we thinking. The house becomes a complete anarchy, and all you can do is...well probably chores you put off during the quiet morning. SHAME ON YOU. Yes you get to clean dishes with a kid screaming at you about everything that happens to them every 2 seconds. As if doing dishes didn't suck enough before.<br />
<br />
This work away from home spouse, is why, even though you may have had a long day at work too. You may be stressed out. And you probably do need a moment to just blow off some steam. You just entered the house at the end of the witching hour. The house a few short moments ago looked and sounded like a war zone. Because we all know by the end of the insanity everyone is just yelling at each other because you have given up trying to negotiate or fix the problem.<br />
<br />
The WAHM, or SAHM has had it. They too need to destress....kids are a lot of work!!! Just be glad they survived the witching hour and only shoved the kids at you. They could have just ran away and never looked back!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08584059037804044385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797349623096458480.post-74185179461417710012017-05-25T04:35:00.000-07:002017-05-25T04:35:15.249-07:00Book Review: Another Place at the Table<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This great book was passed onto me by my older sister. She read it, loved it and passed it on. And I am really glad that she did. This book on it's own is not one I would have just picked up if it hadn't been suggested to me.<br /><br />Another Place at the Table by Kathy Harrison is a book about a family who has fostered something like 100 kids in their time working with the system. It is a personal look into how the foster care system works, and those involved in the well being of children in our country.<br /><br />I have gained a whole new perspective on people who are willing to help children who are part of the foster care system live somewhat normal lives while their lives seem to be collapsing. I was inspired by this book, although we are in no place in our lives to be foster parents, the thought of protecting and showing these children really pulls on my heart strings.<br /><br />I think this book is an important book for anyone wanting to foster or adopt. The unbiased stories show the good the bad and the ugly of the foster care system. Kathy doesn't try to make it seem like everything is perfect, and isn't trying to influence others to join in. She simply is telling her true story, and allows you to feel how you will about it.<br /><br />I give this book a 5 out of 5 and highly recommend it to anyone. If you want a copy I would love to pass mine on!</div>
