Creating Meaningful Memories

Creating meaningful memories is one of life’s greatest gifts. Whether spontaneous or planned, family activities offer the chance to grow closer, share laughs, discover new things, and create lasting joy. Infuse every moment with creativity, gratitude, and love to make each experience uniquely yours.

Here are some ideas on how to create moments with your family that infuse heart, creativity and love into your everyday actions and experiences.

1)Hit the Library!

Libraries are like magical treasure chests for all ages—minus the pirates (usually). Plan a family trip and dive into the shelves! Pick a book everyone can read and discuss it over dinner—yes, like a mini family book club, but with snacks.


Too busy to read? Grab an audiobook and let someone else do the work while you follow along. Bonus: You can all argue over who gets to press play.


Don’t miss out on library storytelling events, where pros spin tales so good you’ll forget your phone exists. Trust me, there’s nothing better than being swept away by a great story—plus, it’s free entertainment!

2)Farmers’ Market Fun

Visit your local farmers’ market or farm and meet the folks behind the freshest eggs, cheese, and veggies. Stock up on seasonal goodies—think strawberry jam in summer or roasted garlic potatoes in fall. Supporting local isn’t just delicious; it’s like giving your community a high five (and the cows appreciate it too).

3)Grow a Family Garden

Plant a veggie garden together—raised beds, pots on the porch, or even a community plot if you’re feeling ambitious. If I can dream of gardening despite not being able to keep a cactus alive, you’ve got this!


Start small: tomatoes, lettuce, basil, or peppers. When your veggies are ready, bring a salt shaker and enjoy a sun-warmed tomato straight from the vine. Feeling fancy? Whip up a tomato and mozzarella salad with fresh basil or roast some squash and onions. And for a quick snack, slice those peppers and pair them with a yogurt dip. Gardening: because store-bought just doesn’t taste as good!

4)Host a Cupcake Chaos Party

Bake (or attempt to bake, if you're like me and love baking but can’t seem to get it right) a batch of cupcakes and invite the family to a decorating free-for-all. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, and yes, the frosting may end up on more faces than cupcakes—but that’s the fun part!


Perfect for moms with ADHD: it’s creative, it’s hands-on, and nobody cares if the cupcakes look like they survived a hurricane. Bonus: you’ll have a table full of sugar-fueled masterpieces to laugh about later.

And That’s a Wrap (For Now)!


From farmers’ markets to cupcake chaos and gardening adventures that may or may not end in plant fatalities, I hope you’ve found some ideas to make family time a little more fun (or at least entertaining). Parenting isn’t always Pinterest-perfect, but hey, we’re doing our best—and sometimes that’s just surviving the day with frosting in our hair and veggies in our kids’ bellies.


Stay tuned for more chaotic, relatable, and laughable ideas coming your way soon. Because let’s face it, parenting is one wild ride, and I’m here to share all the tips, tricks, and fails along the way. Don’t miss the next one!

Cheers, 

Deanna ♥️

comfortable and lightweight

It's an awesome shirt. I know its for maternity but works great nursing. Either just around the house as lightweight or over a spaghettis strap for extra cover, it is a great summer article. Baby can move it around and not worry about it ripping, plus looks cute with high waisted shorts

Lavender mini bath bombs

These bath bombs are absolutely amazing I put about 15-20 of these mini bath bombs in my bath almost daily I love the scent I wish it came in a perfume and the watching the colours explodes in the water is so memorizing I could watch it all day and it feels my skin feeling like a newborn baby I refuse to buy bath bombs anywheres else now and note that even tho I put 15-20 of these in a bath one box lasts me about 5-6 baths for a more clear reference

Great costumer service

Deanna is amazing, I ordered a few things from the store online, I had an issue placing my order (not issue with the page, I needed to clarify something). I contacted her via Instagram, she responded shortly, sent me an invoice via email. Everything was as discussed and ready for pick up shortly after. I felt taken care of 🙂. Thank you!
