First, start off by picking up an event calendar from your local library. This will help you find free events in your area. Some libraries even provide a magazine for your local area that has events, and programs listed. Also, you can search the Internet for free events in your area.   Attend a free event for kids at your local library. Set up a picnic at the park Watch a movie outdoors Fly a kite on a breezy day Play at the playground Visit the nature center, and go on a mini hike Create a blanket fort Make dinner together Enjoy an evening playing board games Enjoy some stargazing Attend a free museum day in your local area Go on a bike ride Paint outdoors.

We just finished up with our summer reading. Trips to the library, cool prizes, and a lot of fun events. Daily Thunderstorms this week. -Some are good, and some have caused flooding and other major damages. About a month or so ago, we had a major hailstorm that caused damage around town and to our home.  My flowers have daily visitors. Between the bees and hummingbirds, my garden has been getting much-needed love. I'm finding so much enjoyment in moving my body daily. It's been a while since I started my workout routine, and it just feels so nice to move daily. It has definitely become a habit. I'm looking forward to Autumn. Warm drinks, falling leaves, and comfy light sweaters.- I truly love fall weather. My husband has been roasting our coffee beans, and I really look forward to a cup of coffee in the mornings. I love the show, This Is Us. If you haven't heard of it, look it up and watch a trailer for it. Ah, so good! We re-seeded our lawn this year,...

Each day take some time and do something you enjoy. Toxic relationships, emotional vampires, whatever you want to call them, we all have them. Get rid of them! Count your blessings!  Be around the people you love. Start your day with positive thoughts. Let things go. Limit your use of social media. Have a good laugh. Smile more.- It looks good on you! Take care of your health.

Oat Banana Chocolate cookies *Ingredients:* - 2-3 ripe bananas - 1 cup of oats (if you want to make a larger batch, consider using 2 cups) - Cacao dark chocolate chunks or milk chocolate chip morsels - Optional: 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract *Instructions:* 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. 3. Add the oats and vanilla extract (if using) to the mashed bananas, and mix well. 4.

One winter day ... This day the sun was out, and everything in sight was beautiful. We adventured off into nature, (for about two hours). Breathing in the fresh air, and feeling the light breeze on our skin. Streams were flowing, birds were chirping, and we felt so much joy.-Being together, enjoying the warm weather.-Everything was absolutely perfect.  -So if you'd like...come walk with us. Thank you all for your kind words in my last post. I'm feeling much better, and this walk was something I needed. -Again, thank you. 

Our weekend was spent outdoors. We went on a nice family walk and sat out and enjoyed the nice weather. Our daughter enjoyed splashing around in her little pool. I was excited to see a few of my flowers started blooming in my front flowerbed.  While out shopping I came across some cute hello kitty stamps for kids. Of course I ended up buying them, and our little one had such a fun time with her stamps. Over the weekend my husband made us some delicious strawberry pancakes. We topped them with some triple berry syrup. (Boy they were yummy) I knew I would have to kick some serious butt with my next workout. :)  Over the weekend my husband also made us a berry non-alcoholic drink, which was wonderful. We ended up sitting out in the back, allowing our daughter  to enjoy her bubble machine. It was a lovely weekend spent with my loves.
