With My āBoosā at the Zoo
This year marks the 10th anniversary of my daughter and me taking part in the Boo at the Zoo event for some Halloween fun. We both love getting dressed up in costumes (always a mom and daughter theme, š¤) and Quinn loves trick or treating for candy too.
What we love even more is that this is not just a mother daughter tradition but a cousin tradition too! With the busyness of life, we may not see each other as often as weād like, but this is one outing we all faithfully attend donning costumes, smiles and ready for some quality time with family. Iām grateful to have this time with some of my favorite āboos.ā š„°š¤šš

Always āGamedā for a Day of Fun
I love playing games, and so does my eleven year old. So when the weather thwarted our outdoor plans, we pivoted with a fun-filled day of playing games indoors. We played Hungry Hippos, Guess Who, Sorry and a few others.
I won some, and Quinn won some, but best of all we both had a winning time together enjoying each otherās company and strategizing on how to out beat the other.

Ready for Some Football & More Summer Break Fun
Itās officially August, which means summer break will be ending in a few weeks š„ŗ. But before it does, weāre squeezing in some family fun at the Philadelphia Eagles Practice Camp!
Quinn is so excited! š¤ Sheās 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!

The Benefits of Summer Break: Quality Time with Family
My daughter and Iāve been having a terrific summer break full of adventures, but this weekend was extra special. We donāt get to see extended family as often as weād like, so spending time with them in Washington, DC and exploring the National Museum of African American History and Culture was truly a memorable experience.
There were so many relatives Quinn got to meet for the first time, which put a huge smile on my face and in my heart. Hereās to building more memories with family not only during summer break but year round.
All the best,

Having a Happy 12th Mommyvserary!
Twelve years ago my life changed for the better when I became a mother. Though itās been a joy watching my daughter grow and develop into a lovely young lady, Iāve taken pleasure in knowing that I too am growing as a person in a positive way while on the journey of motherhood. I try to model confidence, strength and love while teaching the importance of patience, determination and kindness through my actions.
While Iāve certainly had done missteps along the way and am not a perfect mom, I am grateful to gain so much wisdom, strength and courage as Quinnās mom and to be showered with her love.
All the best,
Tanya

Seven Years Later & Skating Right Along!
Exactly seven years ago, Quinn and I were on the skating rink floor for my nieceās birthday party. Now, sheās whizzing around like a pro and even making skating buddies. Itās moments like this that remind me why I chronicle Quinnās milestones and our fun times together.

Art of Brick: Building a Foundation of Fun!
My daughter and I love going to the Franklin Institute, not just because our last name is the same, but we love their special exhibits. Today was the beginning of the Art of Brick with fabulous and intricate displays made of legos. I was in awe. Quinn and her bestie loved the Lego portraits, and I couldnāt get enough of the three dimensional displays.
It brought back childhood memories for me as I spelled my name and made a creation in the building section. Also, seeing Quinn and her best friend built a tower made me think about the foundation of our relationship. Iām grateful for outings that are not only fun but meaningful while giving us both lasting memories.
All the best,
Tanya
