Happy Holidays, Christmas 2020

 












2020 has been a crazy year. And to make things worse, I feel like it’s just getting started. God is allowing this time for us to get right. We have put him on the back burner and have put our trust in only us. One thing I have taken from this year was learning to walk in faith. Faith is all you have in times of the unknown.

With that said, I’m hoping everyone reading this is in a good place. I hope your holidays have been well, and I pray for understanding and strength in this crazy time. Allow us to walk with our heads held high, and to not be afraid of what tomorrow will bring.


My kids and I have been celebrating Christmas earlier than we have in the past. It’s something about this year that is making us want to bring on the joyful Christmas atmosphere early. So don’t be afraid to bring out that Ugly Christmas sweater as you do your weekly grocery shopping or errand runs. You may be surprised how many smiles you’ll make under those masks!


Happy Holidays,

From the Thomas Family

Jax turns ONE! Boss Baby Theme

  I can’t believe my son has turned 1 today! 😱  Where does the time go? I remember with my first, time literally stood still. When she turned one, it felt like she was turning four. Time definitely took it’s time with Jaida. One thing I can say is, I’ve been blessed to be a stay at home working mom. I feel like I know my kids so well. I also feel like I raised twins that are two and a half years apart. Jax started his morning off with his first hair cut. It was way overdue. My husband said he did very well and didn’t cry. He was just being super nosey at first wanting to see what was buzzing around his head (the clippers.) Then it was off to the Fresno Chaffe Zoo. We really enjoy going. We don’t go often. I know my kids would get bored with the same thing over and over so we try to go at-least once per year. We really love the Zoorasic addition to the park. You can go on a short half mile trail and see animatronic dinosaur in literally a staged atmosphere but it really feels ...

Fun and SAFE indoor activities for KIDS.

  Fubbles- this spill proof container makes it easy for kids to blow bubbles without any worries of spilling. This is a must have for us, since our entire downstairs is tile. I would hate for her to spill and slip. Cocomelon or Farmees- my kids love to sing and dance. You can access these two nursery rhymes and kid friendly music free on youtube, itunes, and even Alexa. Flash cards- shapes, numbers, letters, and objects are fun and also very educational for little ones. If they don’t seem interested, just add some music and make up a song while having them guess whats on the card. Besides the obvious toys, having a box of dress up clothes is always fun, especially for little girls. I passed my dress up clothes down to my daughter, so she will be able to enjoy: Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Princess Jasmine, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and many more. Alphabet fun- you can actually put all those fun foam alphabet letters kids use in the bathtub by adding a tiny bit of water into...

Fresno Chaffee Zoo Trip: Mom Group Edition

  Being a stay at home mom during the week, and career mom on the weekends, its imperative that you keep a strong social life. 98% of my friends hold full time jobs. During the week, I found myself very lonely. I missed my social life with adults, but also the interaction Jaida and Jaxon gets with other kids was so priceless.  Since I had Jaida, I always wanted to start a mom group, but would never put any effort in starting one. Since my absence from social media, my time has been productive and I focused my attention on just that...a social LIFE in person..instead of digitally.  With prayer, I jumped right in! I came across some AMAZING moms with the same vision and desire..and we made it happen. We are just one week in, and we have already planned and attended park and zoo dates. I’m so excited to see what the future holds for our little group. The most rewarding is seeing our children having a blast playing with each other. With 2020 being such a crazy year with disco...
