Weekly Recap #23: "Hang in there kid"
Every year May, August, & December are probably the most jam packed months of the year for our family with May being the most insane. May typically being the end of the school year, August prepping for the beginning of each school year & most likely coming home from a summer vacation, & December being the end of the calendar year, Christmas & typically time for a winter vacation.

Weekly Recap #22: "Just keep swimming"

Weekly Recap #17: "Creating Content"
This past week has basically been a culmination of what I've learned about content creators/youtubers/bloggers/vloggers etc. I started this blog last father's day & I've been slowly but surely navigating my way through this whole realm of being a "content creator". Its a really interesting thing, & some people are REALLY REALLY good at it, which makes trying to enter into this world a bit intimidating, & I still have so much to learn. What originally attracted me to the idea
