7 Year Anniversary Recap

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!


Another year has come and my love for my husband is still stronger then ever.  We may have had several changes over the last 7 years but my love only grows.  

Our date last night is one that will never be forgotten!  Let me just start at the beginning.  

We left our house a little after three and we had a little drive to arrive at the museum we wanted to go to.  The clouds were rolling in and we had already had a few storms come and go but no big deal.  Once we took our exit I got my phone out to take some pictures of the neat and scary clouds. 


My husband and I noticed right away that these clouds were low and moving very fast.  A few seconds later our phones were sending us this message:


Let me remind you that we were driving!  Within a couple more minutes it started to rain and then down pour.  So we turned into the nearest place, ironically it was a motel, HAHA and took shelter there.  As soon as we were running from the vehicle to the building the wind picked up.  We were soaked head to toe and the winds continued to pick up.  I can laugh now at our circumstances but I was freaking out in my head.  Wondering if there truly was a tornado touchdown or if it was just wind.  I was wondering what direction the storm was going because my kids were at home with a sitter.  It did not take long before the wind died down and we got back in our vehicle and headed to the museum.  Once we got to the museum only about 10 minutes passed and they directed us to the basement exhibits because of another tornado warning.  YES AGAIN!  

I still have not figured out if there was a real tornado touch down but it sure made for an eventful date. 

After all the weather hold backs we finally enjoyed our tour and then made our way to dinner and enjoyed some Italian food.  Then after that we had dessert at my new favorite ice cream place- Whitey's!  There praline pecan is amazing!!! YUMMY, I might be drooling just typing and thinking about it. 


With our bellies full and still more icky weather approaching we headed home to relieve our babysitter who was probably happy we were earlier then expected since she was up way too early that  morning.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
