In My Own Words

All of my favorite memories are of family. We didn't spend alot of time together as a family growing up, but the best times were the few times we were all together. The same with my children. My husband like to have time just us and the girls, and between our jobs and and the girls' school, there's not much time for togetherness. So once or twice a month we have a family day. We get our latest movie from Netflix, pop some popcorn, have pizza and soda. And if we're lucky enough to all be home the entire day..at the same time..we play board games together. It's the little times I remember growing up and it's those memories I want the girls to have when they're adults.
