Parent’s Day

Did you know Sunday was Parent’s Day? I’m guessing no. Me either, I had never heard of it. But my kids had heard of it. It was listed on two of their calendars.

Celebrating Parent's Day. Did you know there was a Parent's Day?Mr T.3(my husband’s alias for this blog) and I woke around 9 am to a quiet house. Not that unusual since our kids generally sleep until 8 and often sleep in until 9 am. Apparently they were just really quiet this Sunday. Mr T.3 went downstairs to get a great surprise. I usually sleep in on Sunday’s so I stayed in bed. The girls had gotten up at 6:40 to prepare a special parent’s day for us. Soon after Mr T.3 went downstairs(they gave him breakfast and got him with confetti), I got 2 cuties coming bringing me breakfast in bed and yelling, “Happy Parent’s Day!” To which I replied, “Happy what?” Along with a whole discussion about what is Parent’s day and Mr T.3, “Have you ever heard of it?,” to the kids, “Where did you hear about this?,” etc. Probably not the reaction they were looking for…oops.

Anyway, once I headed downstairs they greeted me with confetti, which they had spent time cutting from construction paper (affiliate link). They had spent hours making signs and taping them all over the house. All day, they both kept saying “Happy Parent’s Day!” I know Snowflake was the main instigator of this surprise as she is the only official reader and would notice something like this on a calendar. What a sweetie! Sweet little Pumpkin helped out with everything. Don’t I have 2 great girls?!….at least until Monday when the crankiness of getting up so early hit(just part of the roller coaster ride of parenting)…haha…Happy Parent’s Day!

Happy Parent’s Day to you as well! Now that you know there is one, talk it up. Maybe we can start a revolution, like creating the next Valentine’s Day! OK, probably not, but for those of us in the trenches of parenting, it sounds nice doesn’t it? Of course, it would likely then just turn into one more thing for us to do and organize…so I’ll just take my super nice gift this year, share it with you and forget the revolution. 😉

    I LOVE IT!! I am sorry that I am just reading this for the 1st time but it is sooo cute. Spelling is not my DD’s strong suit either so Snowflake’s sign… “You are the Beast!” was great and gave me a highly relatable chuckle… and if you kept it up until Monday it might have been a-pro-po considering all the sleep you missed out on the day before 🙂 ! (Mama needs her sleep!)
    Keep up the great work K! It’s fun to get to know your family like this :).

Who could use some fun about now? It's been a roug Who could use some fun about now? It's been a rough year for literally the world. As moms, I think we have taken a huge hit as well. The demands placed on us this year seem to have tripled. I think it's time to have a sucker - maybe made out of wine 😂 and plan something fun or maybe even just 5 minutes alone or without a kid needing us. 🤣 #5minutesformom #realmoms⁣

The thought of celebrating the 4th of July seems s The thought of celebrating the 4th of July seems so weird to me this year, not only with social distancing but also seeing all the failures of our country, it makes me feel a little less like celebrating. I love these simple stars I made last year. 🤩 They feel kinda perfect for this year....just a nod to 4th of July and a bigger nod to cuteness. 😉  You can learn how to make them at the link in my bio @realcreativerealorganized ⁣

As I've been sharing in my stories for the last we As I've been sharing in my stories for the last week, I realize there are much bigger world stories. For our family story, today holds a graduation! What a year to graduate! For a kid who doesn't really want to graduate and enter adult life, it sure has been a rocky transition. All the fun stuff that ends a high school career just disappeared for her after she worked so hard to get there, like so many other seniors. We know it is for a good reason, but it stinks to be a Senior this year. Today, we celebrated with a social distancing "individual" graduation. I'm so grateful our school district found a way to celebrate their accomplishments and I'm so proud of the woman my daughter has become. I can't wait to see what the future brings for my smart and kind math and science nerd of a daughter. 🤓😍 ⁣
