Up, Up and Away!

I once had the pleasure of winning a hot air balloon ride. Yes, you heard that right, I won a hot air balloon ride! Let me tell you, it was absolutely AMAZING!

She is a little dreamer and had been telling my husband and me that she wanted to ride in a hot air balloon since she was able to talk. We started taking her to our local balloon glow and launch before she was two, and ever since, she had dreamed of riding in a hot air balloon and touching the clouds.  

Epic Historical Battles… Dun Dun Dun Book Review Of "Who Wins?"

Pokemon, Batman, Star Wars, and Wonder Woman. All of these are things that kids love. They all involve epic battles. Even shows like My Little Pony have feuds in them.

It hasn’t been completely taken away but it is on lockdown and must be earned!

Plant a Seed… Upcycle With Chick-Fil-A Creating Chick-See Hollow With My Daughter

We are huge fans of Chick-fil-A. We love the food but there are so many other things that keep us loyal to Chick-fil-A. We go there weekly for Kids Club and have been known to show up the next day for Story and Craft Time. Several of the employees know my daughter and me by name. You could say this is due to excessive visits, but I prefer to call it excellent customer service.
