It’s never too late to be a safe swimmer! May is

It’s never too late to be a safe swimmer! May is #WaterSafetyMonth and @goldfishswimschool wants you to take the #SaferSwimmerPledge!

All three boys have learned so many life saving skills by taking swim lessons at @goldfish_warsonwoods. And I’ve learned just as much to help reinforce those skills when we go swimming as a family.

Sadly, drowning is the number one cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 4. Learning to swim and practicing water safety at a young age is essential to preventing drowning. In fact, studies show that enrolling a child in swim lessons can reduce their chance of drowning by up to 88 percent.

Head to the link in my bio to take the @goldfishswimschool #SaferSwimmerPledge and you will be entered to win a variety of prizes including a year of free swim lessons or even a beach vacation!

Dinner time can be a debate in our family, but one

Dinner time can be a debate in our family, but one thing we can always agree on is @lionschoice! We’ve been so busy with sports and activities so we love eating at Lion’s Choice on Tuesdays for family night. Every Tuesday from 4pm to close, all Cub Meals are $2 off! Ezra and Luke are team roast beef and Jude is team grilled cheese! I’m team gimme all the sauces!

Cub Meals at Lion’s Choice include an entree, 2 sides, and a drink. BTR usually orders a roast beef meal and I flip between that or a chicken sandwich. We can never leave without a treat, so mini cones for everyone!

Make sure to make that your next busy Tuesday is a Lion’s Choice night, you will probably see us there!

Check out Ezra’s newest joke: Why did the lion cross the road? To get to the roast beef!
