Picture it...it's March 2004 and Todd is in Florida. Well, we all are but Todd is at the golf course in Florida getting ready to play a round with my dad. He walks around the car to get his golf clubs and steps on something! Listen to hear what it was and was happened to it!

We are back for season 2 of We've Been Reynoldsed! Have you missed us?? May and June are exhausting for us! Is it the same for you and your family? It is never ending for 2 months straight... add in some tornado warnings and we are just about at the end of the proverbial rope! Let us know how May and June are going for you!

Todd and I have been teachers for decades and we have seen it all! We've seen the trends and the cliques and the exhaustion and we have noticed some changes in this generation of teens. Have you noticed them too??

Todd's gift giving history is pretty epic...Toddles, a giant bear, an even more giant metal outdoor wall hanging. There are a lot of memories wrapped up in the gifts Todd has given me over the years and I'll cherish the memories but the actual gifts?
Is your spouse a great gift giver?

We don't drive the fanciest cars and Todd loves a good minivan but wow did we get Reynoldsed with our 'good car" the other day! Car problems drive me crazy but they happen sometimes but of course this happened right before we really needed our good car to function properly!

We try so hard not to project our fears and our opinions onto our kids! It can be hard sometimes...catching ourselves before we say something and realizing that what we might have said could've forced a fear onto them or changed their opinion of something or someone. Do you avoid projecting fears and opinions onto your kids?

Going to Florida is a huge trip for us that we love! We have been driving to Florida yearly for so long and we have flown (or tried to fly) a couple times. We love this trip! We have so many incredible memories from these trips and so many things have happened to us during these travels and trips! Scary things, hilarious things, things that maybe weren't hilarious until after we got home...listen along to all the fun and excitement!

Oh my goodness! Kids parties and friends parties are the best! We absolutely love hosting parties with our friends, with our kids and our kid's friends! Whether it's at a super awesome venue or in our own backyard, we tend to go all out but with an eye on the bottom line too so our parties don't get too expensive! Don't love birthday cake?
