It’s officially August, which means summer break will be ending in a few weeks 🥺. But before it does, we’re squeezing in some family fun at the Philadelphia Eagles Practice Camp!
Quinn is so excited! 🤗 She’s now seen the Sixers at Wells Fargo Center, the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park Stadium and the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in person! What a great way to start August and wind down summer break!
All the best,
Tanya
Today, we got to check off another fun summer break activity: a day at Peddler’s Village with cute quaint shops with many different odds and ends for all.
I love summertime with my family. 🥰
All the best,

As I celebrate my eleventh “mommyversary,” one would think that my strides are longer, but I actually find myself taking smaller steps as my “baby” becomes a pre-adolescent.
We’re both entering uncharted territory, and I want to make sure that I’m being a supportive mother who treads lightly as she explores the world no longer needing to hold my hand but knowing that I’m not too far behind to offer support and love.
I’m thankful for being her mom and celebrating Mother’s Day with her, my mom and husband (her dad).
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms, mothers to be, aunties, mother-like-figures, etc.
All the best,
Tanya
This it it! The day has finally arrived! In a few hours, we’ll be cheering on our home team, the Eagles, as they play in the Super Bowl! My nine year old is so excited. She knows way more than I do about the players and their positions and is lucky enough to witness the Eagles make it twice in her lifetime. I’m just amazed at how much she’s grown in that time as well.
We’re both hoping to see the Eagles win it all again! 💚😊🦅
All the best,
Tanya
My family is everything to me, and I’m so happy and thankful for a how giving they are. My daughter and husband have both added so much to my life for which I’m grateful. Here’s to another happy Thanksgiving!
All the best,
Tanya
Though neither my daughter nor I have watched a Harry Potter movie nor read the books (don’t judge us! 😅), we had a magical time at the Franklin Institute’s Harry Potter exhibit.
Now we’re both excited to work our way back in time binge watching and getting to know each and every character of the four houses. 🤗
All the best,
Tanya
Quinn and I had such a wonderful play date with our friends. She didn’t want to go at the end of the day, and I secretly didn’t want to go either. With the pandemic looming over us for the past few years, time together with friends feels so special and is definitely important for Quinn as an only child. I’m so grateful for these moments with dear friends. Looking forward to next time. 🥰
All the best,
Tanya
Yesterday, while eating dinner it happened. My daughter’s last baby tooth came out while she was eating a pineapple. She just turned nine in May and already a couple of years ahead of the average kid when it comes to losing teeth. Then again, she was ahead of the average kid with getting her first baby teeth.
I remember being so excited when I saw those two little teeth peeking through those baby gums. I was even joyful when Quinn lost her first tooth just about four years later.
But this milestone is much different. Yes, she’s still technically a child for nine more years, but her teeth confirm that adulthood will be here before I know it. With this in mind, I will continue to cherish the moments we have together and just watch in awe as she continues to mature and flourish into a young lady.
All the best,
Tanya
This is it: the last day of third grade for my daughter. She’s excited, and I am too! I’m so glad Quinn had a wonderful school year back in the classroom after virtual learning for the previous year and a half.
She’s grown so much, both physically, intellectually and mentally, for which I’m grateful. Now it’s time for some summer break fun!
All the best,
Tanya
It’s dance recital season, and while it was nonstop, torrential rain as we ran in the building from the car, the performances were absolute sunshine!
My nine year old was in three different dance numbers including the finale with the “big” kids and did a fabulous job holding her own as her dad, Nana and I cheered Quinn on.
I couldn’t be prouder of her, the other dancers and Miss Dez who did a wonderful job choreographing the hip hop numbers.
I felt like a true dance mom!
All the best,
Tanya
