Accepting Doesn’t Meaning Allowing
Accept what happened BUT don't allow it to happen again. Forgiving isn’t forgetting. It’s saying I accept what happened and now choose to stay and forgive or to walk away and not allow it to ever happen again.
I walked away from more situations in the last three years than I ever had in my life. Jobs. People. Relationships.
But I never forgot. I accepted and chose to walk away to not allow it again.

Loving Each Person Changes
We all have been in love many times. Lust. Love. Enjoying the relationship status verse the person in the relationship matters. You have to like the person you have a relationship with. Not just the idea of being in a relationship or marriage or partnership. You don’t stay just to stay. You don’t stay because you don’t want to be alone. You stay because a person makes you feel safe and love and appreciated.
You love your relationship because it makes you a better person. It means having someone in your life who is there for you. Who respects your space and you respect theirs. Who cares if your day went well or not. Who makes you feel safe and wouldn’t harm you.
That’s why you love someone.
It’s a friendship and partnership. Nothing lasts forever but be sure to invest your time with someone who makes your days better than not.

Always Appreciate The Lessons
People come in and out. It’s ok. No one is permanent only the lessons are.
Who Inspires You?
Everything you do inspires someone. Did you know that? Now that you do what would you do differently. We are motivated by our peers. We get inspired and inspire others always. You never know who’s watching.
Be a good person. Do good. Be good. Encourage good.
Rise & Move
Most mornings I have my girls I try to do bootcamp with them. This morning they all woke up stuffy so I had to get creative. This little challenge had them March around for 10 minutes holding a spoon in their mouth with a blueberry on it. To make the challenge harder they had to march and clap. They enjoyed it. Their bodies got to move a little and I was easily entertained.
What did you do today to get your body moving? What fun tips can you share?

Love Your Life
Be in love with your life and if you aren’t well then make changes. Today. Now. This second. Because why the hell would you waste your life being unhappy!
Tonight’s Adventure Challenge Family Edition: The Marshmallow Sling Shot
This was so much fun!
We had a lot of fun with the family edition of the Adventure Challenge. Make a marshmallow sling shot.
Cut an empty water bottle in half
Remove bottle top
Attach ballon to the top
Add a mini marshmallow in the bottle and launch it
We had mini marshmallows flying everywhere. It landed in my hand. Camera. Head shot that had it bounce off into a wall then ground. We shot them at my parents and it was so much fun. So many laughs. So simple.
Today’s Adventure Challenge Family Edition: The Obstacle Course
This morning the girls got to scratch off a challenge. It was to set up an obstacle course with yarn. I pulled it together fast before lunch and they had some fun.
During Covid it’s hard to stay busy especially during winter. This book is fun. We get to pick a category and try out the adventure together.
Take Me To The....Netherlands
This month’s Universal Yums comes from Netherlands.
I got this box for kids and parents for Christmas. Every month they get a box from a different country. You can’t pick the country. It’s a surprise. This month was Netherlands.
It’s really important for me that my kids are exposed to different cultures. This is a fun way for them to try food from around the world.

The Adventure Challenge Family & Couples
I am so excited to try these this weekend. I had to get the bundle. With a coupon (NYFAM) I was able to save and I didn’t purchase the camera. So now it’s all about trying something new.
Covid has made it difficult in the winter to have some fun and my creative juices are fading so I figured this book could help us. There are 50 scratch adventures to choose from in each book.
Now I get to try them with my kids and then have adult adventures with my boyfriend. Stay tuned....
Book Box Norwalk Library
I love this idea. The Norwalk library is offering Book Boxes for kids in grades 4-12. They fill out a form of preference to type of book. You go to the door and they hand you a box. It has two books for the kids to borrow. Snacks and fun little gifts inside.
Sign up here to receive one for your child.

Game Night: Pictionary
We played this the other night. I actually played for hours one night with my boyfriend and his family. It was so much fun.
It was a bit hard for the little ones. We had them pick the easiest to draw but it was a little frustrating at times for them. Definitely perfect for kids 10 and older. Also perfect for a fun Adult night in!

Arequipe & Wafers
My middle one kept asking for me to buy more of
the mini dulce de leche cups. I stopped in the local
Colombian store and saw these too. Arequipe is the Colombian version of dulce de leche.
It’s a little nutter and dark. It’s delicious. The little packages came with the wafers.
And are perfect on top of the wafers.
Game Night: Monopoly
I forgot how much fun monopoly was. We were taking about it a couple weeks ago and my middle one said her friends mentioned the Game. I ordered it to add to our game night and let me tell you the two little ones did awesome. My youngest was a little hustler buying up properties. She ended up beating us all.
It’s a great way to do math too. Having them pay or collect money. How to know when to hold off or purchase due to the amounts of funds you have. There’s a lot of strategy involved too.
When was the last time you played Monopoly?

What’s Brewing?
Picture this...
Cozy night in. Fun board games. Comfort food- turkey chili. Cozy drinks. Ending it with a good Netflix movie.
Covid has helped us get creative. Tonight is peach tea- caffeine free. With oranges and cloves and cinnamon in boiled water and top with your favorite alcoholic beverage or no liquor at all.
Cheers!
There’s A lot You Can Control
And a lot you cannot!
Focus and change the things you can. Accept the things you can’t.
The One....
They were what we needed at that time in our life. You can have many loves of your life. You needed them at one point. Things change. You change. It’s ok.
Holding on when it’s time to let go isn’t ok.
