a little about this blog...

I've found myself in the place of having kids just a few years older than some of my friends and seem to get phone calls and emails asking questions about various parenting topics. Not that I am wiser than anyone else on this parenting journey - the funny stories of disastrous results and embarrassing moments are usually the ones that result in the most learning. I love to learn about how all kids think, wonder at how they are created, and am passionate about seeing them develop into their full potential - creatively, emotionally, and spiritually.

This blog contains thoughts about the parenting journey from my own experiences or about things I've learned from those around me. Thanks to my friend Alli for getting me started and to Susan, Nicole, Teresa, Kristi, Beth, and Victoria for being on the journey with me...

Football Fever

My husband loves to find fun things to do with the kids that create memorable experiences. Our boys are almost 7 and 9 this year and pretty into playing ball. There’s usually not a day that goes by that they’re not outside with Dad playing catch of some kind, depending on the sports season. With Bengals season just around the corner, Darrin decided to take the boys to Georgetown for the Bengals training camp experience. An hour and a half from Cincinnati, the admission is free and you are just required to pay $15 per car for parking.

The guys were able to watch the Bengals players being run through a practice and then go to an autograph tent afterwards. They enjoyed discussing the specific plays and drills being done on the field and unlike a regular game at Paul Brown Stadium, they were able to get pretty close to the players. They even talked with my former college gymnastics strength and conditioning coach that is now on staff with Cincinnati football - which scored me some “cool points” since I don’t always follow their very detailed sports conversations.

Camp is usually held each year at the beginning of August – if you have football fans in your house you should definitely check it out!
