Alas, the day’s arrived! My ten year old and I are going on our very first cruise! We’ve boarded the ship and are excited for our destinations on Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas!

Quinn was so excited to attend her first Phillies game, tickets courtesy of my friend & trainer, Joe and his family! Thanks so much! ☺️What a wonderful way to not only have fun with family and friends but to celebrate the Spartan Race triumph together. Citizens Bank Park is where it all started with my first Spartan Race. 🤗🙌🏽⚾️

All the best,

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,
Tanya

Straight A’s 🤗 academic achievement award, Myers Student News Network, Girls Who Code, Cheer Club and Violin recognition on top of having a wonderful experience with some amazing teachers and friends! I’m so proud of Quinn and blessed to be her mom. Let’s get this fun-filled summer break started! definitely earned it! 🎉👩🏽🎓

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.

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. 😅

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,
Tanya

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

Sky was the limit as Quinn celebrated her first double digit birthday 🥳! Thank you to family & friends who made it a special day for my sweet, energetic girl. 🥰 #birthday #birthdaygirl #skyzone #fun #family #party #birthdayparty #friends














Just about to get this party started! 🥳#tenyearsold #birthday #birthdayfun #birthdayparty

Just a couple of days ago, my daughter asked me if I was sad that she would be double digits, and without giving it a second thought, I said, “no.” But I will miss those moments from when she was younger as she continues to mature into a young woman. The moments are fleeting, so I’m grateful for them all.
All the best,
Tanya
