There is the excitement of a beautiful new home. Then comes a new school AND getting that room decorated just like you want it.

Stefani Ankeny and her children and her sweet mom, Sue, will be experiencing life in a new & fantatic neighborhood.  The children are just as fired up as their mom is.  You should have seen the cartwheels in the new yard!

Stefani is a healthcare worker hero that helps others heal & mend up with time, through therapy. If I need therapy for any reason.  I want her!  Her passion for life is contagious:).  We thank her for her dedication. 

These beautiful little faces brighten the lives of those that get to know her. This is a family facing happy times. Especially now.  The new neighborhood has a country club.  So a pool, tennis courts & golfing are at their disposal. Even some ponds for a little fishing.  Needless to say, the activities will keep them busy after school and during summer break.

The cartwheels were fun, but selecting their own rooms was my best memory of that day.

New memories from a great little family is what helps brighten days for many parents.  The time raising children passes ever so quickly, those moments can become a blur.  This momma won't let that happen.  She will photograph every new venture and every celebration that will bring a smile to her face.  

Making new memories in 2021 should bring a smile to your face as a parent and new home owner.  If it doesn't, here are a few tips to help.

• Self care for moms & dads is extremely important, at least once a week, get away on a date or self pamper at a spa.
• use your phone for photos, not to distract you from your family, your attention is gold to them.
• Take lots of photos, you will be glad you did when they fly out of the nest.
• No electronics at the table make for a happier conversation and sometimes it is therapy for parents and children.
• Raising children to be grateful and happy increases their chances of raising a tight knit family

The case for happiness and well rounded people come from what you do for yourself and for others.  Wishing this lovely crew for great things, for the best truly is yet to come!
