    12 Father’s Day Crafts to Make With Your Kids

    Father’s Day is next weekend, and it’s time for me to have DJ and Brooklyn make David something. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the craftiest person. I spend a lot of time searching Pinterest for the perfect gift. I figured there is probably more people like me who need a little help to figure out what to make. Instead of you searching for hours on Pinterest, I decided to make a list of Father’s Day crafts you can make with your kids. Hopefully, this makes things easier for you.   12 Father’s Day Craft to Make With Your Kids 1 DIY Photo Display for Father’s Day…

    10 Things to do When You Feel Anxious

    One of the things I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember is Anxiety. It took some time, but I finally am in a place where I can recognize my anxiety. In addition, I have things I know I can do to help myself stop feeling anxious. Normally, I wouldn’t talk about this stuff; however, with everything going on in the world more people than usual are most likely feeling anxious. I know how hard anxiety can be, because it feels like you have no control of anything. I used to get panic attacks that would last a long time. The first time I had a panic attack…

    Single Serving Sparkling Sangria

    Summer is approaching, and we’re spending most of our days outside. One of my favorite drinks to have on a hot day is sangria. The problem is that I don’t drink it often, and nobody else drinks it. That means a big pitcher goes to waste. I wanted to find my perfect sangria that I could make a glass at a time. Thats how I created this single serving sparkling sangria recipe. The addition of seltzer makes this sangria even better, because it keeps it light enough if I want more than one. Single Serving Sparkling Sangria This recipe is insanely easy. I started by adding a handful of frozen…

In addition, he explains why he is the way he is. He told us his life story, and why he became a “bad” seed.…

    Family Friendly Las Vegas: Black Bear Diner

    I’m back with another family friendly Las Vegas post. These are some of my favorite things to write about, because this is my city. Things are a bit crazy now with COVID-19, and I’m sure when the next time I’ll be able to post one these. Black Bear Diner is one of my favorite places to eat in Las Vegas. It really reminds me of a New York diner, which in turn reminds me of home. Every time my Mom comes to visit we go there to eat. Currently all non-essential businesses are closes in Las Vegas; however, Black Bear Diner is open for pick up and delivery. They were…

    6 Easter Outfits for Little Kids

    We are around a month away from Easter, and I figured it was time to start looking into outfits for DJ and Brooklyn.

There is three outfits for boys, and three outfits for girls. I chose three different stores and picked two outfits from each store. In addition, I like DJ and Brooklyn’s outfits to semi-match, or at least hav the same color scheme. Which you will see down below. Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. I may…
