You know when you go to the store for 1 thing but something else catches your eye ...

Alex's new shirt 🤭

I hate cutting up kiwi... and it's just my luck that Alex begs me for it!🥝

Why can't it be easy to peel like a banana 🍌

Or at least have an edible skin like an apple

These are the things my mom-brain thinks about!

I'm not wrong! 🤔🥴💯

Sabrina Carpenter is my vibe!

I saw on social media that something like 80% of single woman are choosing not to date. 🤫

Shocker!

They've taken themselves off the market.

No interest in dating or finding a partner!

Does this seem odd to you?

It seems spot on to me!

I've been saying for a few years that I have no interest in finding someone!

Actually yesterday marks 7 years since I told my husband that I wanted to separate and live apart.

It all boils down to most of us carrying the full load ourselves, even when we were in a committed relationship.

When you have a partner, you're supposed to be a team.

A team is not one person putting in the time, effort, and energy.

If we are putting everything into the relationship and getting nothing in return then we should be putting that effort into ourselves instead.

It is actually EASIER to be alone than putting energy into something that you get nothing in return from!

It seems as though we are always filling everyone else's buckets while our bucket remains empty.

Eventually we get tired.

Someone has to be the change, and if that means being alone & concentrating on our mental and physical health then so be it!

Definitely a great addition to the franchise of Jurassic World Rebirth...

Not the best in the series but I love Scarlett in it and it had a good plot.

I giggled when the first beats started of this song... It was my wedding song!

Am I the only one who after leaving the theater, had the feeling driving home like I needed to watch out for dinosaurs?! 🤭

4th of July is this weekend! We love visiting Celebration, the town that Walt Disney Company created!

It's always a little extra special when a holiday is around the corner because everyone decorates!

They even have a parade and festivities that is open to the public this weekend!

07/02/2025

We are going to see Jurassic World Rebirth tonight for their opening day!

Alex has always loved the Jurassic Park series... I have almost every LEGO set created.

(Let's agree not to tell him new sets are likely sitting on shelves already!)

Bonus points for me because I got discounted tickets on Groupon!

I remember being left home alone at the age of 5-6...

No older siblings at home with me. I wasn't home alone long, but I remember hiding behind a chair until someone came home the very first time.

Alex is almost 12, and I haven't left him alone once.

Luckily I haven't needed to push him into it, like my parents needed too....

There was an entire generation who came home to empty houses after school!

What age were you when your parents left you home alone, and what age did you leave your kids home alone?

Walt Disney World has just announced Passholder previews for Test Track!

THIS RIGHT HERE 👇 is exactly why I always stay with my son at practice and games... even when the coach says "parents can drop off kids and leave".... NAH, I'm gonna stay! 💯

COACH ARRESTED: On June 25, Detective Drake arrested John James Sales, 29, on charges of lewd or lascivious molestation and conduct involving multiple juvenile victims. Sales, a youth baseball coach, is accused of inappropriate behavior with minors spanning several years.

The investigation began on March 31, 2025, when the mother of a teen victim reported incidents of unwanted physical contact and inappropriate conversations. Further investigation revealed additional victims, including multiple allegations of sexual misconduct by Sales during various interactions in Marion and Citrus counties. Sales also volunteered at local church youth programs, which placed him in regular contact with minors.

Through the cooperation of victims and families, and by conducting forensic interviews, evidence was gathered that led to Sales' arrest. He was charged with lewd or lascivious molestation and lewd or lascivious conduct/touch and taken to the Marion County Jail.

Due to his roles in the community, Ocala Police believe there may be more victims and urge anyone with information to come forward. Please contact OPD Detective Drake at 352-369-7000.

We commend the bravery of the victims who spoke out and encourage others to report abuse. Protecting our children is our top priority. These allegations are extremely serious, and we are committed to doing everything possible to ensure that justice is served.

We are currently waiting in line for Test Track PREVIEW!

Alex has never ridden it before. He's only ever gone into the shop at the end and taken pictures with the vehicles where you used to exit.

This was one of my mom's favorite rides at Epcot.

Excited to see how much has changed ✨️

This is the bat Alex has been asking for...

Then tonight, the coach told Alex that if he had THIS bat, several of his hits at practice would have been a home run!

Easton Baseball got any discounts for a working single mom?!

I think I'm going to offer his coach that I can call around and try to get some team sponsors. 🤔 I did enough outreach for benefits fairs to know how!
