Days come and go, but memories are what we hold on to.
Like the first boy I kissed, the day I had my heart broke for the very first time, my wedding day, the day my kiddos were born.
All of these memories mean more to me than anything materialistic.
Some people have to have the best cars or the latest gadgets, but not me. Of course we splurge every once in awhile, but my family’s guilty pleasure are vacations. Whether they are staycations are week long Disney trips we make sure to do them every couple of months. THOSE are the memories that I treasure.
They will also be the memories my kids remember about growing up when I’m gone. Gabriel won’t remember getting a used Wii. He will remember getting dressed up as a pirate and going treasure hunting with other kids his age and finding the “booty”. Bella won’t remember that we shop at the thrift stores and consignment sales. She will remember the first time she got a mouthful of salt water in the ocean. This is how my family and I live our life to the fullest. So my challenge to you is to go somewhere with your family this weekend that you never been. Make some memories that will las longer than a gadget.
