• Family Fun: Getting a Little Fresh Air

    One of the best parts about the warm sunny days when they hit in the middle of winter is the family can go outside and get some fresh air.  Since it is the season of colds and sickness the fresh air is wonderful for everyone.  We try to let the girls get some play time outside when the weather permits and we even join in on the fun.  Whether it is pushing one of the girls on the swings or playing catch it is important that we spend some time relaxing together.

    Thankful for the warm and sunny days in South Carolina as well as the opportunity to spend some extra time with my family! 🙂

  • Summer Activities: Fun Family Day at Home!

    School’s out and the summer heat is here. We love spending time as a family outside, however, some of that time involves finding cool activities to do during the summer heat.  There is always something fun to do during the girls summer vacation away from school.  Below are some of the fun adventures we did on a recent Saturday together.

    Swimming in the Pool

    Science Experiments

    Growing Rocks in a Rainbow of Colors! Since one of the girls is into "sharks" I choose a shark background for this experiment.
