One of the best things I ever learned as a parent was to teach my kids to “teach themselves!” My son Harry is a self taught artist and his work is currently on display for the month of June at our local Starbucks store here in Ithaca, NY (as pictured above.) As a proud mom I have been reflecting on how he got to be so talented, how all of my kids developed such skills and abilities. As it happens… I am a GOOD MOM! I have always told my kids that if they are truly passionate about learning something then they will find the way. With books, YouTube, google and countless other resources online, anyone can learn anything! I have always told them, if you are truly passionate and teach yourself to do something, THEN I will get you lessons or further instruction, but first prove to me that you are willing to put in the work. This process has been very successful for us. My son Harry taught himself to be an artist, my daughter Carrie was a budding Geologist for a while and can tell you about almost every kind of rock and my daughter Madison took up photography and guitar. Allowing kids to teach themselves is a valuable skill and will help them to Live Inspired Lives!

This weekend we went and played miniature golf and we had a great time! It started to rain just at the 15th hole or so, the boys finished out the game in the rain and Mattie and I hid under the canopy and watched! It was a great family fun time! Today, grab the kids and head to the “golf course” and Live An Inspired Life!

Wow. Thad and I have so much fun in the bookstore! We go at least once per week or so just to relax, hang out, sip our favorite Starbucks beverage and people watch. I swear one of these days our loud joy will get us thrown out! We laugh so much! We make fun of ourselves and our sillyness and we just enjoy one another. We have fun everywhere we go, but we love the bookstore! So tonight, grab your sweetie and head to the bookstore and Live An Inspired Life!

Everyone should have a “bucket list,” a list of things you want to do or accomplish before you are out of time. My list changes, I often add new things and take things off as I accomplish them but it is fun to see the list change and it is great to know that I am doing things that I have always dreamed of! Today, create your own bucket list and Live An Inspired Life!
