Five Fun Facts on Friday

In all its randomness...here are five fun facts for this spectacular Friday!


1. I'm the oldest of 5 children.
I come from a big family. I'm also a very proud big sister who has 3 brothers serving our country. My brother Jonathan has done one tour in Iraq as an Army Medic. He is now in the Army Reserves. The second oldest of the boys, Justin will be graduating from boot camp very soon from the Army National Guard. My baby brother, Jordan is in the Navy and is stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Jonathan is the only one married (to Sarah) with two handsome boys (Austin & Logan).The baby of the family, my little sister Rebekah, is a mommy (to Emery in red) and an aspiring photographer. We are all in our 20's and 30's.

2. I've been married for quite some time!
I'm proud to say I've been married to my handsome husband for 13 years now! Just like any other couple we've encountered our hard times but life is so boring without him I can't imagine it any other way. 


3. Always Pack Snacks
I've been going to the park a lot with my kids and in the evenings when my husband has a tennis match I load up my thermal tote filled with all kinds of snacks for the kids. This cute bag was a gift from a friend and it has served me well! I'm not sure if Thirty One Gifts still has this exact design but they do carry the tote for only $18! I usually pack two of these Ziploc containers, one for each kid and they both fit just fine. This bag is a life saver! 


4. Stay Organized
I came across these file bands at Target on clearance and it was the perfect fit for keeping my planner intact. Stay organized with this small investment and it will keep all your papers from falling out or getting wrinkled up. 

5. San Pedro Springs Park
I came across this hidden gem a few weeks back, San Pedro Springs Park. It was absolutely beautiful. I loved the variety the park had to offer: sidewalk throughout the park for walking/jogging, pool, huge trees, gazebo, playground, and skate ramps. It was so tempting not to revert to my childhood days and climb up some of the fun looking trees! The pool was filled with water but wasn't officially opened for the public but the kids and I had a great time eating our lunch by the pool. It was by far one of my favorite parks! 


Happy Friday Friends!
