Summer is the time of year that everything goes off plan...even when you've taken time to plan well...you're still off routine and flying by the seat of your pants.

Asking yourself and your kids to go from that to perfectly planned days is madness...we need a transition period. Because it's a TRANSITION! And all life transitions need a bit more love in our opinion. 

Whether you homeschool, public-school, private-school, or even no-school (I'm talking about our toddler moms). Summer shakes things up for everybody! It gets dark at different times, family and friends are visiting, the weather is changing, the activities ramp up...it really doesn't matter what stage of life you're in...life gets crazy in summer.

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich said, "Well-behaved women seldom make history", but this quotation doesn't mean what you think it means...

Thatcher, a historian, author, educator, and mother of 5 was dedicated to telling the quiet stories of ordinary people...and she won a Pulitzer Prize for it. Because, as she states, “it is in the very dailiness, the exhaustive, repetitious dailiness, that the real power lies… living has to be measured in doing.” and mommas...our lives are a very measure of doing, and doing, and doing.

We don't have to be aggressive, loud, and bold to change the world...there is power in our quiet contributions as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters...and they rarely get attention or credit, because well-behaved women seldom make history....but that doesn't mean our contributions aren't valuable, necessary, beautiful, and worthy.

In our new series, "Just" a Mom, we are celebrating YOUR stories, the seemingly ordinary. Because no mom is 'just' a mom and we all have triumphs, struggles, challenges, and beauty to share. And frankly, other moms need to hear them.

Welcome to the "Just" a Mom series – Today we have Simone Florez!

Sho is actually a German citizen living in the United States since 2008, married to her husband since 2007.  On top of that, she’s a military wife, mom of 6 incredible kids, she’s moved all over the world, and she’s looking forward finally settling in the beautiful panhandle, homeschooling, and running a small cottage bakery out of her house! 

You can find Simone on Facebook here and here on Instagram!

Welcome back to the Just a Mom series! Of course no mom is JUST a mom and in this series we're shinning a little light on mommas AND their stories. If we've learned anything in the past 14 years connecting mommas, it's that our seemingly ordinary and quiet stories connect and encourage fellow mommas more than we know. And after learning the real meaning behind the quote "Well-behaved women seldom make history" we knew we needed to get more mommas sharing their stories.

Dr. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, the owner of that quotation, as well as a historian, author, educator, and mother of 5 was dedicated to telling the quiet stories of ordinary people...and she won a Pulitzer Prize for it. Because, as she states, “it is in the very dailiness, the exhaustive, repetitious dailiness, that the real power lies… living has to be measured in doing.” and mommas...we are ALWAYS doing! 

It's the really difficult dailiness that holds so much of the beauty of our contributions as mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters...and it rarely gets attention or credit, because as Ulrich stated, well-behaved women seldom make history. So let's change that.

5 kids...12 days...one van....over 5,000 miles...all in the middle of the Pandemic....and no I'm not talking about our big family road trip from back in 2021...our guest today road-tripped as a family from the far reaches of Alaska all the way down to Florida when they got PCS orders from the Army back in 2021. She is a devoted homemaker, homeschools, has a bearded dragon, and is a talented artist. She is due with her 6th precious baby ANY DAY NOW and has become a dear friend of ours. Ashley Davis...welcome!

Tallulah MADE every trip after doable.

“Kids don’t remember their best day of television.” – Unknown

Here we are on Day 5 of our Road Tripping with Family series...we have had WAY too much fun recalling all our adventures and the lessons we've learned, we hope you have too! 

Today we're talking about AFTER the trip is over. 

Listen in our humble, but totally right and informed opinions…trips are worth it 100% of the time. 

The stories…the shenanigans…the near-death experiences…the worst of the worst…the best of the best…the funny…ALLL the things…they make memories lasting memories you can't fabricate any other way. They bond, they connect, they encourage, they build. THEY ARE WORTH IT. 

And these lessons we've learned along the way make every "next" trip a little easier. 

We're coming today because almost no one considers what happens AFTER the trip…and boy do we have some thoughts and ideas to share here.

Okay, If we haven't convinced you yet that travel deserves a spot in your memories…you might not be our people…but if you are…we didn't get all this hard-won knowledge for nothing! 

We put it all together in a guide for planning the Ultimate Family Road Trip. There are checklists, our best tips for thrifty & peaceful travel, and our favorite on-the-go meals to prep ahead.  Click HERE to get it! And share this series with any momma friends you know who are traveling this summer!

You are doing beautiful work momma!
