As an aspiring writer, wife and homeschooling mother of 9 kids, life is always in session with plenty of "live lessons" to glean from. So much of what I have learned came by way of "life application" and it wasn't always applied in the way it should or could have been; you know the saying, "you live and you learn". Hopefully, if you read long enough you may find some inspiration, encouragement and even empowerment to do the thing called "Life". Welcome to class "Life's In Session!"

"All Work And No Play" Makes For A Very Stressed Out Mama and If Mama Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy!
When I was a kid I absolutely loved tracing, coloring, drawing, and painting! I looked for every opportunity to either doodle or color, even at times when I should be paying attention in class...for which the teacher would reprimand me often. It was very relaxing, and it was a way to be still and quiet yet busy in a way. These days my life is filled with schedules, homeschooling, online schooling, keeping track of my college kids, errands, endless foodshopping trips, boundless laundry, and managing household needs and maintaining a marriage. Any relaxing will have to be taken by force! Soooo... one of the things I picked back up was coloring! Yes! I know you may think it's childish but so what, I like it! I get to be quiet, concentrate, and think about what?! (GASP) N-O-T-H-I-N-G! Kind of the equivalent to "GONE FISHIN'". I say that to say this, don't forget that inner-child that you still possess. Yeah, that little girl or boy that is still there waiting in the shadows for you to get finished with all of the work that you deemed to be "oh-so" urgent and important. They are saying, "Come on already! Let's play!" Because playing is fun and it's gettin' in that balanced life!

Great Daycation Ideas # 1 - RIVER TUBING!
The first time I ever went river tubing was with my children. My children were attending a local church's youth group and they planned an outing for the youth, and the parents had the option of coming along. At first I thought I'd just allow the kids to go, but then I thought, "Well shoot! Why should I deny myself the opportunity to try something new AND something FUN!" I was so glad I went, I had a BALL! The kids enjoyed it too. So, I thought I would remind you HARD-WORKING PARENTS out there that it is important for you to have fun too and enjoy the children of your youth without depleting the bank account. Here is an example of the pricing:
Regular Rate (per person) One tube trip — $5
All-day tubing — $9
Waterslide — $5
As Combos
One tube trip and waterslide —$10
All-day tubing and waterslide — $14
Group Rate (per person)
One tube trip —$4
All-day tubing —$8
Waterslide —$5
As Combos
One tube trip and waterslide — $8
All-day tubing and waterslide —$12
The group rate applies to groups of 10 or more. You must all pay together and in one payment to get the group rate.
Isn't that pretty cool and affordable? So, if you can't go away for the summer and you're limited on funds...don't VACATION, take a DAYCATION and go RIVER TUBING!
