Something I ask myself every Sunday evening is how Something I ask myself every Sunday evening is how am I going thrive this week?  It is so easy to get bogged down in the day to day. The to do list and the kids needs and my businesses needs and on and on. Add on the heaviness that is our world right now and it can feel like all you are trying to do is survive. But I don’t want to just survive. I don’t want to be looking forward to the weekend each and every week. I want to look for a way to thrive where I am.  Ok, so how do we do that?  I’m going to give you three intentions I’m taking into the week. 1️⃣ I will find excitement and fulfillment in the mundane tasks or difficult situations. 2️⃣ I intended to do my best each day to achieve the goals I have set for the day. 3️⃣ I will do my best to lead by example and embrace challenges I face with a calm mind. Have a wonderful week.

Skin care is always a big priority for me but in the summer it becomes even more important. The sun and salt water and chlorine suck all of the nutrients out of your skin. I have been using @yensabeauty CBD Superfood Dual Cleansing Oil to remove sunscreen and give my skin a nice glow.

Summer time vacay means road trips in our family. Summer time vacay means road trips in our family.  I would love to #wheelsup everywhere we go but, alas, I don't have #wheelsup money currently.  I love short road trips.  3 to 4 hours is our jam right now.  A few things I do to plan for being in the car.  1️⃣ I make sure everyone's electronics are charged and on the hotspot or they have games downloaded.  2️⃣ Earphones.  No one can agree on a station and the level of the volume so earphones it is. 3️⃣ Snacks.  I pack everyone and individual snack basket that they can have in the car for the first few hours.  Lord knows we have to make a snack stop because my kids are obsessed with finding every @racetrac they can.  4️⃣ Finally, bingo cards (our printable ones are on the blog) or something they can play like tiktacktoe since they will get board of their ipads at some point in the ride.  What are your road trip tricks?

4th of July and Rob’s Rocking Dogs

Today is officially the first day of summer and the Fourth of July is the most important part of an American Summer.  We always find something fun to do from a day at the pool to outdoor concerts to fireworks and more.  There is never a lack of things to do the week of the 4th.

This year we are so excited to be participating in a hot dog eating contest as a family.  Rob’s Rocking Dogs is having a watermelon and hot dog eating contest to benefitting the Northshore Families Helping Families.

Our family LOVES Rob’s Rocking Dogs so when they asked us to participate we all said YES!  Immediately.  They are a good, quick place for a family to eat and they always greet us with a smile.  I told the boys that I was writing this post and they said that we should all tell you what our favorite hot dogs are so here you go!

Justin:  The Zydeco // Alligator sausage topped with pepper jack cheese, red hot grilled onions, cajun mustard and ranch dressing.  Except he always holds the ranch and mustard.

Me:  The Alternative // Bacon wrapped all beef black angus hot dog topped with grilled onions, cream cheese, spicy brown mustard and grilled jalapenos.

Peyton:  The Classic Dog // Ketchup and Ranch Dressing

Paxton:  All Access Pass // Beer Cheese, Tater Tots and Dill Pickle

Porter:  That’s Amore // This black angus dog comes topped with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and oregano.

The event will be hosted in Bogue Flaya Park starting with the kids watermelon eating contest at 6:30, hot dogs at 7:00 and then Fireworks by Sparks in the Park at 8:45.  This really is going to be an event for the entire family and we would love to have you join us.

Registration is currently open and you can enter by visiting Rob’s Rocking Dogs in Covington or you can mail in the attached entry form.  It’s $15 for enteries before June 25 and $20 at the door so register now!

This event is going to be a blast and there is nothing more Fourth of July than Hotdogs!  If you can’t join us in eating than just come and watch us eat!
