Today had some pricey summer break activities, but the memories are worth it! My daughter and I linked up with my sister and niece for some Putt Shack fun for the first time and had a wonderful time in the central air playing miniature golf with a very fun course.
We then walked to Kook Burger for some delicious food and monster sized milkshakes. It was Quinn and my first time there, and we both enjoyed the menu.
Here’s to a fun-filled summer break!

In an effort to celebrate a “Father’s Day” for a person worthy of the title “dad,” I decided to break tradition and take my husband somewhere new to enjoy a brunch fit for a king. Founding Farmers, that our daughter Quinn, mistakenly and jokingly called “Founding Fathers,” was well received.
What makes this place special is everything is made in-house from the bread to the beverages, and local farmers contribute. It made me think about the relationship between my husband and daughter. It’s naturally organic and something so authentic about their connection. Admittedly, I do feel that their father/daughter relationship is not necessarily better but different than our mother/daughter relationship. They have something special that cannot be recreated: a strong bond. For that I am grateful.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers, fathers-to-be, like a father, uncles, pop-pops, etc. This is your special day!
All the best,

Instead of going to camp or just hanging around the house for summer break, my daughter prefers to spend time doing activities together 🥰. I too love having more time together and am pleased that my tween still looks forward to hanging out with me.
Today’s summer break fun was taking her brand new bike out for a spin on a bike trail. Transitioning from a dirt bike with foot brakes to a mountain bike with hand brakes went smoothly for her. We’re thinking next time that we’ll have a picnic after the bike ride and to maybe feed the geese or ducks.
Here’s to a fun-filled summer break!

It’s been a while since I’ve just gone to the mall to just “hang out.” But it’s on Quinn’s list of summer activities, so I had to oblige 😉. Plus we got to twin with our Care Bear shirts, one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid, and hang out with my bestie.
Of course, Quinn got a mini shopping spree out of the excursion too! 😅🤗
Alll the best,
Tanya
It’s Quinn’s last day of school! While it was a certainly a “different” experience at her new school and in fifth grade, she thrived, found her way, made a few new friends and maintained straight A’s for all three marking periods. Here’s to a celebrating her achievements with a fun-filled summer break! 🤗
All the best,
Tanya
