Miniature Golf is a Hole in One!

By

As we age, our firsts become few and far between. This certainly is the case in watching my ten year old daughter grow up. Today, Quinn not only experienced her first time playing miniature golf but her first time getting a hole in one.

I’m so glad that I caught her in action because the look of excitement on her face was reminiscent of how excited I was when she walked or talked for the first time.

With the 18 holes, I was barely on par and did get a little frustrated with myself and the ball at times, but none of that mattered because I witnessed the joy Quinn felt and had a great time with my family.

All the best,

Ten Years of Friendship

By

It’s hard to believe that my daughter is ten, let alone that she formed a friendship as a baby and had the opportunity to celebrate her friend’s tenth birthday party today.

Ten Years of Friendship

Of course, Quinn’s bond with Arya was formed as a result of the friendship I formed a few years prior, but I’m so glad they (along with Arya’s younger sisters) all enjoy each other.

Though we live in different towns, watching the both of them grow up into beautiful, bright young ladies makes me so proud. Before we know it, they’ll officially be teens. 😅

All the best,

Local Fun at the Strawberry Festival

By

I just love when I stumble across a local, family friendly event, and this weekend it was the Strawberry Festival. There were some cool pop-up shops with strawberry themes, a lot of samples to try out, live music and a photo opportunity.

I’m glad Quinn wanted to go and that Zack, our toy poodle had a great time at this pet friendly event. Looking forward to checking it out again next year!

All the best,

Proud of My Little Violinist

By

Learning to play an instrument, especially the violin 🎻 is no easy feat for most, especially learning to play in unison with others. But after months of hard work and occasionally nudging Quinn to practice 😅, she did an exceptional job. She was a part of three solos and performed like a true musician. I’m so proud of Quinn, her classmates and fellow fourth graders from the neighboring schools. 🤗

All the best,

I Have a Clue That This New Year is Gonna Be Golden Girl!

By

I’m so happy I spent part of the first day of the new year playing games with my daughter. We’ve played Clue in the past, but this was our first time playing “The Golden Girls” version, and we both thought it was fun.

I was so impressed that Quinn knew who the characters were and developed a strategy to figure out who “stole the slice of cheesecake.”

Even though I did win, discovering that it was Rose with a feather slipper in the bathroom, Quinn was a good sport and quickly learned about keeping a “poker face.”

We may not have a total “clue” on what 2023 will bring, but if it’s anything like today, it will be fun-filled and memorable.

All the best,

On the Seventh Day of Christmas 2022: A Big Girl Advent Calendar

By

Giving my daughter an advent or 12 days of Christmas calendar has been a tradition for quite a few years now. Usually, there’s a candy theme, but this year, my nine year old was excited to get a 12 days of pampering calendar with lotion, foot scrub, facial cleanser, you name it! This is just a reminder that my little girl is growing up, but we still have Christmas memories together which I love.

All the best,

Tanya
