The Date Jar: Week 7 (New York City Weekend!)

Originally my Date Jar series featured family friendly dates that we experienced in the Columbus Metro Area; however, with this special post I am giving details about a recent trip to NYC that my family took. We embarked early Friday morning and returned Sunday evening. The cause of the trip was to allow my husbandContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 7 (New York City Weekend!)”

The Date Jar: Week 6 (Family Movie Date)

My favorite part about this Date Jar series is the emphasis it has put on spending more quality time with my family. For as young as a family as we are we have quite a full schedule. It would be extremely easy for us to go several weeks at a time without doing much moreContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 6 (Family Movie Date)”

The Date Jar: Week 4 (Daddy’s Birthday)

We slept in, had brunch at Waffle House, visited one of his favorite parks, purchased a book at his favoriteContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 4 (Daddy’s Birthday)”

The Date Jar: Week 3 (Family Getaway!)

Alas, the day has come where my husband comes home straight after work and the late weeknight basketball games are no more. His basketball coaching season came to a close a little over a week ago. Although I support him in all he does, a little part of me is excited that his season endedContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 3 (Family Getaway!)”

The Date Jar: Week 2 (The Family Bucket List)

This weekend has been a busy one in the Sisley home. Sam’s basketball coaching season is winding down, but the time commitment level as the season nears the close seems to increase dramatically. Also, we spent a good portion of our Saturday working on our new car with the help of our mechanically-inclined friends, TravisContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 2 (The Family Bucket List)”

The Date Jar: Week 1 (Family Camp out in the Living Room)

While we are still nursing our two year-old back to health we decided not to cancel our weekly family date night. As a family we have resolved to regularly spend time together doing something inexpensive and enjoyable. Last Friday we took our daughter to her first movie theater experience to see Paddington which was adorableContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 1 (Family Camp out in the Living Room)”
