Too Old

Although this writing could be about me, it actually is not. Sorry, if I’ve disappointed.

But, you know your grandchild is getting older when they care more about the meal in the Happy Meal than the toy.

This realization is heart wrenching. When did Ava get so mature? When did the “Happy” meal get so “Sad” for me.

But….

There’s Liv๐Ÿฅฐ

And when Liv is too old, there will be River. Keep them coming so I won’t have to resort to writing a “Too Old” story about me. They keep you young, right?!!

Festival Kind of Weekend

Sunny sky, perfect temperature, food and drink in hand and good friends=great way to spend a beautiful weekend day.

After filling our bellies with chili and voting for the best chili and salsa, we headed to Belmar’s seafood festival. #belmarseafoodfestival.

Facebook Memories

I know Mother’s Day is not celebrated today, but being a Gia, I get to celebrate it everyday…as all those raising children in any capacity should.

Thanks, Facebook, in all the negativity surrounding you recently, you continue to preserve memories!

Vacay Memories

The girls have returned from their vacation in Florida. They had a wonderful time and did alot of activities.

When they began planning their trip, I tried to recall my earliest memories of vacations. I have some memories, mostly the ones that have pictures attached to them, but i would have liked to have known the excitement and feelings I was enjoying at that time.

This brought me to the idea of starting them off with a vacation “journal”. I purchased a “diary” for each of them.

Vacation Diaries




Then I bought some stickers relative to their vacation …mermaids and pirates, because, you know you may meet one or the other on vacation (and they did, thank goodness) Travel mode stickers are good and anything that will help to describe their vacation without too many words. Liv can’t write yet and Ava’s in learning mode.

Hopefully, they will remember to take them on future vacations and look back at them in amusement and fond memories.

Memories..they did a great job!
