Parents’ Day Giveaway

There was a time we took our horses to a state park to ride trails for fathers day and they had no maps! Needless to say we got lost on a 8 hour ride! We were singing the whole time to remain calm…now looking back we laugh because they did have maps we looked on the side of the board!Its a fathers day we will never forget!

I remember coming home from playing & my dad would be playing guitar & singing…He would write lyrics on his bedroom wall from his favorite artists..then paint his favorite.. jim Croce, Billy Joel, cris christopherson..

My best memory was when we took a family trip to Atlanta and visited Six Flags Over Georgia. A torrential downpour started and we were drenched. We decided to leave since most rides were shut down. My dad said we should take off our shoes and run to the car. So we ran, soaked, barefoot, loudly and poorly singing “Singing in the Rain”.

One of my favorite memories with my parents was when we went to Massachusetts for the first time. We road triped it and it was great! We stopped at all these random spots and spent a couple of weeks in MA and it was an awesome trip! <3

I am currently pregnant with my first child (Due Nov. 10th) This post got me thinking about how many special memories I have with my parents and how I can’t wait to start making memories with our new lil one.

Ever since I can remember if I said “I love you” to my parents they always respond with “I love you more”. They have truly shown me unconditional love and they are excited to pass that love down to their new grandchild.

My parents are the ones who got me interested in music. They put me in piano lessons and from there I have grown to love all kinds of music but especially rock n roll!

My husband is a drummer and we have decorated our nursery with the Lambs & Ivy rock n roll theme. Its absolutely adorable. Now we just need the rock n roll lullaby music to go with it ;) Keep rockin!

My parents were teaching me to ride a bike & I ended up crashing straight into our garbage bin!!!

I remember my mom playing Fleetwood Mac and Elton John on saturday afternoons while she was cleaning house, all the while my dad had on Van Halen or CCR in the garage while working on his project car, a 57’ Chevy. My favorite memory though was rockin out with my older brother to KISS while mom n dad were still sleeping Sunday morning. He made this awesome cardboard replica of Demon’s Axe-guitar and I would be in my teddy bear night gown playing air guitar to Rock n’ Roll All Night!

I will always remember my mom and I giggling uncontrollably on the street in front of their house when she was trying to teach me to drive a stick and I kept popping the clutch. Some of my favorite memories of my dad are him coaching my ball team at school and taking my brother and I and our friends out for Halloween.

My favorite memories with my parents are specifically with my dad. He would take me and my sister down into his workshop and show us how to use a drill press, mitre saw, table saw, belt sanders…all the tools of the trade. Later on down the line I would always ‘impress’ boyfriends with my knowledge of all things woodworking. Fast forward to this past weekend and I helped my dad install really cool bench seating in my kitchen—and all because I learned how to use those tools as a little girl. :)
