My newest journal is out. You can buy it on Amazon. It’s fun quotes. All inspirational, some with a little spice. Fun graphics. In fact, here is a sneak peak at some taken with my phone so excuse the low quality. The actual product, will be much prettier.
You should definitely check it out!
Y’all I added 2 new journals, took 2 off because they were kinda sucky. Have added one for review and that should be live too. It is similar to my 2 new ones but even better (if I do say so myself)! Want to see a few designs? I am sure you do! Ready??
For more keep checking out AMAZON for author Zen Mama Llama I load new journals often! Find one that speaks to you!
Y’all parenting is not for the weak. Thankfully, I’m just as strong willed as my devils tongue debating children. Man they are good. I want to cave often. But I know if I cave just once, I’m done for.
In the last week I have had many fails, you too I have had way more wins! If I focus on the wins, life is better.
Same with life. Focus on the wins, more wins happen.
What are some of your recent wins?
After our fun morning with friends and cats, we were a little hungry. I was getting hangry. I can admit it. I’m not such a delight when hangry. So that we could eat quickly without much decision making, we chose
Sweet Pea Cafe, a local vegan cafe with some yummy treats.
They have a standard menu and a daily surprise menu, as well as yummy vegan treats. That’s my favorite part. It’s the kids favorite part too. I chose two wedding cookies, JB chose key lime pie, then traded others for theirs. Hubs got his normal brownie, and CB chose a large chocolate chip cookie. The boys split their Beyond burger & sweet potato fries. I got their Thai Budget with Sweet potato fries and hubs got their Buffalo “Chicken” sandwich with fries. We love the fries there, they cute the sweet and regular potatoes up to make them. Everything is fresh and delicious!
We took our food and I surprised the family with Litchgate, for a picnic. It is one of the best kept local secrets and none of them have been. I wish I had gotten a pic of the kids faces as we walked through the path, that opens up to a beautiful old oak tree that is just magical. The amazement on their faces made me smile big.
We walked under the trees enormous limbs and ate by the meditation maze, which both boys completed. CB and I took off to the troll bridge and talked to fairies as we ran down the path making a couple eating lunch laugh.
It was a fun day with some yummy food.
What is your favorite place to grab food with your family?
What a fun morning we had with part of our village! We did a framily, (friends who are family), date this morning! One of my besties kids, as well as my kids love cats. We scheduled time at Tally Cat Cafe, which has a great assortment of drinks and you can reserve a spot to play with cats for $8 an hour per person. Yes I know we have cats but these kids love animals so much and,I’ve spreading the love. So we made the 40 min trek to play with cats. A and I drug our menfolk along willinglyish. No really, they had fun.
. It’s nice seeing everyone together, laughing and catching up. Life gets busy and this morning slowed us down, even for just one hour to enjoy each other. I went from seeing them daily no nothing in weeks, waaaa!
The cafe did not have as many cats as usual, but the ones they do have, did not disappoint. Plus the company was perfect! Just good people with a lot of laughs! We love the village we are building for ourselves. We all love and support each other and each other’s kids.
Our kids in true form were asked to stop running as well as stop picking up the cats. But, we expected that. We did have a lot of young kids around a lot of kittens. Those kids are kinda scary when they are running towards you when you are tiny. They had fun though. Lots of fun!
We even took the kids to Lynchgate for a picnic with food from Sweet Peas! I’ll do another post on that in a few!
What do you love to do on framily dates?
