National Park Trust's Kids to Parks Day Is Coming!

Sponsored post written by me on behalf of National Park Trust and Northside Shoes. All opinions are entirely my own.

Save the date for Kids To Parks Day - May 20, 2017. Join National Park Trust, Buddy Bison and kids across America for a fun day of outdoor play. Go to kidstoparks.org to sign up. When you sign up, you can enter to win free prizes. Also, you can search for local events. If you don't see a local event, keep checking back as more events are being added.

Lil Man and I love our local, State and Federal parks. We are regulars. We enjoy our parks year round. And we will definitely be participating in Kids To Parks Day on May 20th.

I feel that it's very important to incorporate exercise. I know as Lil Man gets older,
sometimes electronic devices become the entertainment. So I try my best to make sure that we get outside, get some fresh air, and have some outdoor fun. He loves it, and I do too. But also, I enjoy the quality time together. Sometimes we play solo. Sometimes we meet friends. Regardless, we make memories.





He's also not the only one to have fun at the playground ;) 




And this year for Kids To Parks Day, Northside Shoes encourages families to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. They feel that you don't need expensive, elaborate gear to spend time outdoors – the outdoors are accessible to everyone! I totally agree with this! In fact, one of you can win a pair of Northside shoes!

Yep, I'm serious! Simply enter the giveaway tools below. And speaking from experience, Northside Shoes are awesome great quality shoes! (and they are cute!)

Lil Man loves his shoes. He said they were super comfy! 

 

And in addition to be great-looking shoes, they are also very durable. (Which I NEED with Lil Man).
 




So, who is going to join me for Kids to Parks Day on May 20th? Last year more than 750,000 people participated. This year's goal is 900,000.  Let's get outside and play!

And Make sure you enter to win!

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on... 

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
