Is Global Warming still a thing????

So yesterday some of my mommy friends and I took all the little kiddos we are associated with to the splash pad.

No, it wasn't some weird punishment for the kids.

Yes, the splash pad had actual water being sprayed EVERYWHERE.

No, we weren't forced into doing this activity.

Yes, it was actually MY IDEA!

So I had heard a rumor from another mommy friend that the local parks were turning the water back on for the pools and the splash pads, since you know....Global Warming (If that is still a thing) aka living in the Deep South. It's March, which for me growing up meant temps were still at the most 50 or maybe 60 degrees during the day. Here it's already blasting out above 80 degrees! WHAT?!?!

Yep, we got a good two or three months of a break from the AC. I think I maybe turned on my heater like a total of 4 times.....

So because of that we decided to let these little humans that we live with go off and play in the water. And some did....

And some weren't so keen on it.....

But it was well worth it because us mama's got some us time in, where we could sit and chat, and these small people got to play and be around others their size. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

Tigers....Rawr!

My son's favorite animals, currently, are the tigers at the zoo. We literally have to pick him up, tears and all, to go look at the other animals. Because if we just sat there and watched these beautiful big cats, my husband and I wouldn't feel like it was money well spent. Plus once we leave them behind and go look at more of God's creations, Mr. A forgets all about those amazing beasts. Until we go to leave, because whoever designed our local zoo had the brilliant idea of putting the tiger exhibit as the first and technically last one that you will go by. And so we start out pulling our toddler away kicking and screaming... and we leave with him kicking and screaming.... Thank you, you brilliantly sadistic zoo designer. Other than that one "flaw", I really love our local zoo! It has a great big, multi age playground, loads of animals, a petting zoo, and plenty of trees to shade us poor parents running behind our children trying to keep them out of th...

Poke Park Adventures!

For those of you who don't know what's the recent hot new app for your phone, it's Pokemon Go! It's a app created for the millennial generation to help us get off our butts and out into the world and socialize. Sad isn't it? That we now rely on an app to help us get out of our homes and out into this beautiful world? But there's no use crying about it and the state we are in that caused this app to be such a HUGE success, rather I would like to praise the idea behind it and share the Monkey's and my experience thus far. Now to be clear, the Monkey doesn't play on my phone when we are using the Pokemon Go app, he enjoys the fact that we are going out to more parks more often and getting to explore our new area. Since we moved about 4ish months ago, I haven't really taken the time to get out and about to explore my new local. I've let myself get swamped with unpacking, organizing, and cleaning. So any time we do venture out is usually to go visit...

A Terrible Story

Once upon a time there was a young woman who had been blessed with so many gifts; the gift of time, the gift of technology, the gift of a home, the gift of family, etc. However, all these gifts did not make her a better memory preserver, which is what she had wanted all along to do. You see, memories are fleeting and hard to hold on to. The instant happens and you promise yourself that you'll always and forever remember what had just been, only to realize you can't quite recall what exactly was said or in what order things happened. And it just gets worse the farther down in time you get. I have been a terrible, terrible journalist of what has been going on, especially when it comes to the little Monkey. He's already ONE YEAR OLD and I at least have been keeping up on his monthly pictures. (Which I just remembered I am late taking his 12 month picture! AAAHH!) The whole reason I had started blogging was; 1.) Because I live so far away from all my family and a majority of ...
