Happy 10th Birthday to my beautiful step-daughter! You are a remarkable, genuine, sweet, intelligent, brave young lady and I am so proud to call you my family and to be able to share in your life! I am so very proud of the person that you are and the lovely, caring person you are developing into. I love you very much and hope for nothing but the very best for you! Love you little girl!

I absolutely love fall, it's my favorite season and just so magical with leaves changing colors, cooler weather, sweaters, football! And this weekend couldn't have been more perfect to officially welcome the first weekend of Fall! We had a lovely cool front come in which brought our temps down to 60s in the mornings and mid-80s in the afternoons. So beautiful, had a great time with my family at a 5k fun run, spent time playing ball outside, the kids riding their bikes and having their friends over to play. Can't wait to hit up Calloway's Nursery to bring home some great fall flowers and then our new Hobby Lobby store to create a fall wreath for our front door. Be on the look out for that on my new Gettin' Crafty page! © Cruzin' Thru | 2013
Every Sunday we always have a fun, sit-down, family breakfast. Our oldest two love being able to help with the preparing and the cooking while our youngest is running around in her walker. It's definitely a full kitchen, and full of love! This morning we made eggs with bacon and plantains. The kids were having fun making funny faces with it! I think they were both going for Squidward from SpongeBob but to me they look like a monkey (the top picture) and a zombie from Plants v Zombies (the bottom picture). I love these times! © Cruzin' Thru | 2013
I absolutely love these two! I love that they're both hands on with their baby sister and take great care of her. I love that they are so close in age, are in the same grade, and are going to grow up so close. I love that they help each other, and anyone else, with anything (sometimes that means being up to no good and being pranksters!) I love that they both love so unconditionally and have such great hearts, minds and manners. I love that I am part of their lives and help raise these wonderful kiddos. Just a little bittersweet to see them growing up so quickly, beautiful to watch their minds grow as they become more independent, sad to know that they will need me a little less each time as they gain their independence. I cannot believe how lucky we are to have these beautiful kids and I couldn't be more proud of these two amazing, awesome, wonderful children! This beautiful girl is our baby, and absolutely the apple of her mommy and daddy's eye! She is already such a character, has a great personality, and loves her bubba and sissy so much. Anytime she hears their voice or sees them, she immediately lights up, squeals and crawls over to them as quickly as she can! It's very heart-warming to see the bond between all of our kids, especially since our oldest isn't with us but half of the time.
I am one proud mama (or step-mama, to the oldest) to all three of these beautiful, wonderfully made children! © Cruzin' Thru | 2013 Let me tell you, it's pretty difficult to find time to sit down with the Sunday newspaper and clip coupons. Sometimes I can get it done, most of the time I don't because I forget or run out of time or any other number of reasons. That is why I am SO excited to tell you about the SnipSnap app (available on apple and android devices)! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of coupons that I can 'snip' that are already available in the app. But this goes one better, because when I do have the time to snip actual coupons, I can then take a picture of it, save it to my phone and use that when I'm checking out! Good bye coupon organizer! This app is going to help me take my couponing to the next level! And it is going to make saving money so much easier for families! Did I mention that the app is free?! Even better! You can create an account or sign in using Facebook - so easy! Check it out, I promise you'll love it! © Cruzin' Thru | 2013 I may be a day late, but I want to take this opportunity to shout out to all of the dads out there, single fathers, Grandpa's, Uncle, Brothers. You all are so very loved and hope you know that you have a huge impact on your family and especially your kids. And as a Mom, I am very proud of the men in my family, (my husband, my father, my brother, my brother-in-law, Uncles, Cousins) who truly make a difference in their kids' lives and their families by doing everything and anything for their family. Your love, your sacrifices, your humor does not go un-noticed, rather it is noticed every day and we are truly blessed!
Happy {belated} Father's Day! -XoXo Jess We had the most beautiful weekend this past weekend here in North Texas! The weather was perfect and we had beautiful, quality family time. Started off with a movie in the plaza in our hometown on Friday night, a nice relaxing start to Saturday followed by a visit to our local 4x4 off-road shop and then we headed to a friends' house for some great company, grilling time and kids splashing in the pool. Sunday was a day of rest and more swimming! Definitely leaves the soul rested and our hearts full of memories of a phenomenal weekend.
If there is a lesson to be learned here, I think it would be to enjoy the lazy days of summer and create those special memories with your family. That is what they will remember most. Not the latest toy (that breaks in the first day or two), or shoes, or whatever. But memories. And cherish those memories because that is truly the greatest gift we can give to our kids, our family, our friends. Have a great Monday and a beautiful beginning to your summer! This retreat, in Dallas, TX sounds like a great time with really good info presented about step-moms and the step-family blend. If you are a stepmom or in a blended family situation, I highly encourage you to check it out! I've already registered! Check out the site for more info at: http://blendedandbonded.com/events/
