When my husband was looking to buy a house 12 years ago, I just couldn’t really visualize what he was seeing with our current home. That is until we put our personal touch on it with paint and decor. But I realize now that we have a family, a home is more than just cosmetics.
Sticking to a healthy lifestyle in modern society can feel like an impossible challenge. We’re all so busy that we don’t always give ourselves the necessary time to exercise or even eat well. Still, it doesn’t have to be this difficult. It’s a challenge to adopt a healthy lifestyle if you’re making a change on your own, but it’s always easier to do so if you have the support of other people. That’s why joggers in the park are often with running buddies. Sometimes, you need that extra push to stick to a healthy routine. And if you want your entire family to be healthier then you’ve got a much bigger support network in your own house. Your family members can help each other to become healthier. If you make some changes as a group then you could massively improve your lives.
After the miserable week I’ve had, we needed to find something fun to do as a family this past weekend. So we planned an outing to the Portland, Oregon Zoo for the Zoo Lights that they put on every year during the holidays. It was neat, but the rain and cold made for unhappy kids. And, if you’re from the PNW area, then you know exactly what I am talking about. This is why we had to get hot cocoa to warm our bellies while there!
On Sunday, November 26th, I started my morning just as I do every morning by heading downstairs to cook breakfast. What I didn’t realize is that it would be one of the most heartbreaking days I would experience besides the miscarriage I had earlier this year.
We had a lot of things planned for our trip to San Diego, but SeaWorld® was our first adventure! Seeing my daughters face light up as we walk up to SeaWorld is one of the reasons I get joy from being a parent.
The first thing we did when we entered the park, grabbed a map. It has all sorts of useful info on them, like times for the dolphin, orcas and sea lions shows and directions around the park since it’s pretty big! Our first stop after we strolled around the park was the dolphin habitat area.
