I Had A Food Fight

I Was In A Food Fight
How many movies for kids involve a food fight of some kind? 

Seriously. I'm sure you can name several right now...A kid stands up in a crowded cafeteria and screams "FOOD FIGHT!!!" and everyone goes nuts.

It's every kid's dream, right? How many times have you sat bored in the caf and fantasized about throwing food at the annoying person across the table? Or wanted to tip over your gross lunch tray? 

But how many of us can say we've actually experienced it? 

Me. I can. 

Well, sort of...

See, I mentioned it to my parents when I was around 7 or 8 when they asked what I wanted to do for my birthday (I think? Some big celebration....End of School maybe?). "I want a food fight!" I'd said, not imagining I'd ever get my wish. 

My parents, however, delivered. 

They set out a small table and covered it one of those simple plastic table cloths. 

Then came the cheap pie tins filled with whipped cream. 

And we were told to go nuts. 

It. Was. Amazing. 

By far, it's one of the best memories of my childhood. I got to have an actual "food fight" in my own backyard. 

I highly recommend you give your child this opportunity if you can. Being able to say I've been in a food fight is one of the coolest things ever!

#AZtoAK in 2017!

Let's start by saying that 2016 was weird. 

I had a lot go on personally...extended family being rushed to the ER and needing heart procedures, a cousin committing suicide, friends attempting suicide, friends getting married or divorced or having babies or losing babies, getting told we're moving to Alaska...

Add in the celebrity death toll and Charlie Foxtrot that was the ENTIRE ELECTION TIME....

I actually stayed up to see 2017 arrive because I was so glad to see 2016 leave. 

I ended the year staring longingly at this exact page, watching the cursor blink as my brain made that buzzing sound that comes with severe writer's block. 

This year is the year of change. 

I'm moving to ALASKA, y'all....and we're driving there! Crosscountry roadtrip! I'll be using the hashtag #AZtoAK to track the journey. 

I'm going to see a new psychiatrist after the move and work toward getting my diagnosis tweaked. Yes, I have depression and anxiety...but I'm fairly certain there's something else going on there. 

I want to throw myself more into blogging and social media. I need to work harder at earning a little money on the side as well. I also plan on couponing again because Alaska cost of living is ridiculous. 

I want to better myself this year too. I want to start taking yoga or Krav Maga or some sort of class. I worked really hard last year on accepting myself and my body...so now I want to make awesome even better!

My boys will be 6 and 8 this year...it's time to get into all of those talks that come with growing up (so if you have a good sex talk resource...go ahead and give that to me because AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH)

What do you want to do better in 2017?
