June is coming to an end. This month has really flown by with so much going on good and bad. Time for the monthly link up with my girl Ashley. The last Thursday of every month we will be taking a peek at the smaller details in our homes and lives. Who isn't snoopy of how others lives. I know I am.
February= What's In My Purse
March= What's In My Storage Closet
April= What's in my Car
May= What's In My Pantry
This month we are taking a look inside my Lunch Bag.
Thoughts and Prayers Needed
Tuesday, June 23, 2020
It has come as a huge surprise to all of us. We have known for less than a week. Austin goes in today to have surgery on BOTH his kidneys. He has kidney reflux. The simple explanation is the urine flows the wrong way, back up into his kidneys. This has caused 3 UTI's since the end of January. Each time he has an infection he develops scar tissue that doesn't go away in his kidneys. The more scar tissue he has, the higher the risk for high blood pressure and more problems with his kidneys.
African Safari in Port Clinton
Monday, June 22, 2020
A few weeks ago our family took a mini road trip to visit the African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton. It is a drive thru safari adventure and walk thru wildlife fun. This was our first time visiting. We had a blast and plan on going again. This is no way sponsored. It was a great little getaway.
We visited on a Saturday. Brian had heard that the line gets long and wanted to get there as soon as they opened. We got on their property and sat in line for 30 minutes before we even got to the gate. I have heard of other families waiting 3 hours just to get to the gate. Our trick was really just getting there early.

Happy Friday. Umm when did it become Friday. This week has flown by and I can't tell you where it went. I am excited for a busy weekend ahead. I am getting a pedicure as an early birthday present. I haven't had one in 3 years maybe. We are also doing some birthday celebrating with a cookout.

Happy Monday. Lets be honest here. Who realized it was already the second Monday of June. Not me. Normally I am on top of things. Last week was a rough week on so many levels. I haven't even started using my new planner yet. I am slacking. I need to get back into a schedule over here.
It's time for another Not Just A Mom link up with these awesome ladies and myself:

Happy Friday. It has been a very emotional stressful week. With everything going on in the world, Brian being a police officer in a local city and getting called in for a protest (thankfully it stayed peaceful after everything that happened in Cleveland over the weekend), Black Out Tuesday was a great learning experience. (I read a lot, talked with the kids about whats going on, and requested some books from the library)
End of the School Year
Thursday, June 4, 2020
School is officially out. Yesterday was the official last day. Today is a day of excitement for all of us. Ella is done with 2nd grade. No more online learning, no more fights to do homework, no more zoom calls.... This year has ended far different than anyone expected. That also means our normal end of the year traditions are different too. It is sure to be one we never forget.

I have calmed down on my Amazon shopping. I had gone a little crazy in April with everything I was buying. In May I didn't buy as much, partially because my debit card numbers were stolen and it seemed to take forever to get a new card.
