Danette and I were not close as cousins go. We were born 10 years apart; she lived in Virginia, I lived in Canada, plus with 45 cousins in the family, we naturally migrated towards cousins closer to our age. However in 2007, as adults, we found a common interest—a family history book.

Small Moments – Enjoying Life

Family Fun By July 17, 2015 Tags: , , , , No Comments

With the endless parade of work, school, soccer practice, meal making, cleaning, and so on, sometimes we can get so wrapped up in having a life that we forget to live. How do we step back and ensure that we are enjoying life while caring for ourselves and those around us?

Caring for other people and finding happiness doesn’t require lots of money. The greatest impressions we leave on those around us (and ourselves) are made of millions of small moments each day. To better enjoy life we can collect the right moments.

On our way back from a family wedding in Boise, my mom asked if we could take a detour through her home town of Burly, ID. It was about an hour out of the way, but my mom had not seen her home town for over 20 years, so an hour was nothing in comparison.

The greatest task we children have every year is to come up with the perfect Mother’s Day gift. When it comes to moms, really nothing can compare to what they have given us…life. So how can we show our appreciation and love for them?
