Children just naturally seem to have a love for dinosaurs. Spencer has been that kid for many years. Something new may grab his attention for a bit but, it always goes back to dinosaurs. He is a smart little cookie and corrects me often when I get a name wrong.

Summer is all about family, friends, the sun and spending quality time with our loved ones. The more skills you develop, the more time you invest in your family and all of your relationships. First Things First (FTF) is an award winning not-for-profit organization dedicated to strengthening families.

So many parents work full time+ jobs these days. For many of them, finding quality with spend with the children can be difficult. I make every effort to spend time with my boys. I lost my Dad when I was 30 years old and I wish I was able to have more time with him. When I was a little girl, he was always working. He worked to provide for us and give us the things that he didn’t have when he was growing up. I think this is the way most parents are. I didn’t understand this when I was 10 but at 36 years old, I am grateful for all he did for us. I was definitely a Daddy’s Girl all the way! THe time a little girl spends with her Dad, is so important so make the most of all the time you can! It’s about the quality of time, not the quantity.
