I couldn’t be more proud of Chloe. At 13 she is proving to be so much more than I could have asked for. From the way she just digs in and helps me at just the right moments, or how hard working and reliable she is, but most of all I am proud of how […]
Let me just start by saying how eye catching the cover of this book is! The instant I opened the package when it arrived I was taken in by the cover. From Shawn’s sweet face to the combination of the bright pink of the stripe and her sweater with light yellow/brown of the tall grass […]
Today I am thankful for an opening gymnastics competition gone well. Our Victors Gymnastics teams had our first competition of this season – Judge’s Cup- and we are all so pleased with a job well done by all our girls! We had 15 individual champions; 113 medal winners in total and a second place […]
Monday: Our kids usually enjoy science and history/geography the most because they are the most hands on. This week was no exception in our science studies. We are starting out this year with the solar system. This week was all about phases of the moon. The kids LOVED this one which is called Tasty Phases […]
Today I am thankful for Alicia. She is one of Chloe’s coaches, as well as our neighbor. I am thankful for her for more than the obvious reason she would first mention…..she is Chloe’s personal taxi to and from the gym, a lot! I am thankful for her because she is a support, and a […]
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: June 29th, 2010… Outside my window… it is barely light outside. So much to get done that I am up early to check a few things off my list, starting with my blog for today. I am thinking…that I would love to adopt a dog. Joey will kill me when […]
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: June 8th, 2010… Outside my window…the sun is shining with the promise of a new day. So many things to think about and decisions to be made. I am thinking…about all the words to positive songs that I can think of. The one ringing in my head right now is: […]
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: May 25, 2010… Outside my window…the sun is shining brightly and the temperature on the thermometer is rising! I am thinking…about Chloe’s good friend Shannon who spent all night in the ER last night. It seems as though she has broken her toe/foot and will see an orthopedic for treatment. […]
Recently the weight of my actions as well as others at our gym has been weighing on my mind. Throughout Chloe’s gymnastic years I have already made my share of mistakes. From being that parent complaining loudly enough in the lobby for other patrons to hear, as well as staff, but not being the parent […]
Someone from our gym found this article on the 27 Don’ts For Parents of Gymnasts that they were kind enough to share with us. I am posting it here, first and foremost as a reminder to me, (and hopefully for other parents as well) to always be positive and supportive, and keep the long term […]
I recently went into the gym after one of Chloe’s practices to take some pictures that would fit I ♥ Faces bill of their theme “Jump for Joy”. In doing so I took some shots that are ones to remember. This one was taken after her coach, Mike told her to do begin a dive […]
