    Getting To Know Me: Shocking Secrets Exposed

    I’ll admit it. I forget that you all don’t know every little thing about me. I’m as open as I can be, but sometimes I like to keep a little bit of mystery. However, getting to know me is not totally complicated. Getting to know me has everything to do with me feeling free to get personal. Therefore, today’s post is all about ME!

    People always seem to make a list of the things that they despise or dislike more than they seem to talk about the things that make them happy! We spend so much time focused on the things that we wish to change; without reflecting on what we love the most. The things that we love the most are what keep us inspired and should help us to see that the things we dislike are minimal compared to the things that bring us joy. In no particular order, I created a list of my best-loved things.

    NEW PLANET DISCOVERED: LANDON’S CHANNEL

    ALERT! NEW PLANET DISCOVERED. I enjoy entering new stages and seasons with Landon. You just never know what you’re going to get with the imaginative minds that kids have. One thing that I can say about myself as a parent is that I always encourage Landon to pursue whatever it is that he wants to do. I encourage him to find his passion and practice it. Mom knows he will always have lots of interests.

    new planet discovered: Landon's YouTube channel

    I’ve seen basketball, chef, superhero, and construction aspirations. So I make sure that I invest heavily in his passions because I want him to know that he can do ANYTHING. I just advise him to remember mama’s two rules:

    • Pursue the passion
    • Practice will make perfect

    What I love even more is how he listens, takes direction well, and gets it done. 5 YEARS OLD! He’s shown that he is committed to doing what he wants to do. 

    …and so…
    A NEW PLANET HAS ARRIVED! 🌎 Welcome to Landon’s Planet. He has asked for his own YouTube channel for a few months now. I hear him in the living room or in his room rehearsing his videos on a daily basis. It’s insane! I would say that I don’t know where he gets it from, but I’d be lying. He watches me record videos and vlogs all of the time. I have never pushed the idea of being a “kidfluencer” on him. This is all that he has asked and says he’s been inspired to do.

    New Planet Discovered on YouTube

    I’m proud to announce his channel launches today, with a debut video premiering this afternoon (11/24/2020) at 2 pm CST. You can watch his debut video below and you can click the video to subscribe to his channel.

    Spooky Halloween: Here For All The Boos!

    Halloween 2020 was super fun and creative. We decided against trick or treating this year, but we still got Landon a costume to wear around the house. I didn’t feel comfortable attending harvest parties, festivals, or haunted houses because we are still practicing social distancing guidelines and rules. COVID is ruining things as we once knew them to be, but I could tell that Landon enjoyed cosplay and trick-or-treating Quarantine Style.
