Weekend Adventures: Great Eats & Sweet Moments

January 16, 2017 Leave a Comment

 

Finding quaint places to eat and new adventures have become our thing, and it’s great to enjoy it with Kai and Titus as well. I am convinced that the best places to eat are sometimes the hardest to find! And being able to try new things always makes for new memories and great weekends.
This past Saturday we were invited to try The Secret Garden with a friend of ours. I’ve heard about it and the dining experience, but just never found the time to make it. The restaurant is located in Old Town Occoquan here in Woodbridge, VA. It’s most certainly hidden, only providing a hanging sign to its entrance. 
 
But my oh my is it fantastic! The food was absolutely incredible and the service was outstanding. I tried the salmon burger (trying to eat healthier…most days) while the boys ate fresh blueberries with chicken and fries. Did I mention they have a children’s menu and all of their ingredients are fresh?!? We all had such a wonderful time amongst the peaceful and semi quiet (my kids were quite entertaining) environment. 
 

 

Mike and I plan to go back again for brunch just the two of us. I’ve heard it’s even better! What are some of your favorite quaint spots?

That’s it... that’s the caption and joke 😂 #humorwithkids
Follow Me... Through the gospels I see Jesus call Follow Me...

Through the gospels I see Jesus calling for people to follow him. Not to a program or an event - but the opportunity to watch him live life in Spirit and in Truth. Live in a way that brought each person closer to God not the creeds of religion. 

I remember the last few years of full time ministry for me how a mentor of mine challenged me to reevaluate how I was on boarding/leading people to Jesus. How was I teaching others to see Christ more than a method or strategy.

That work is different.

It’s also life giving. 

As I continue to read through the scriptures I’m reminded to clarify don’t follow me. JOIN me as I follow Christ and we’ll walk, grow, fail, and learn from Him together.

If we all saw each other as fellow students rather than how we believe our gifts elevate ourselves over one another. 

“The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” Luke‬ ‭6:40‬ #readwithme30

I think I finally figured out the crochet gauge on this hat and am making my fourth one 🧶

Any crochet or knitting friends out here?  #crochetbonnetsbaby
Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyo Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyone is excited, there’s cool ways of learning, and it’s a win all around!

Other days it feels like I’m pulling teeth...everyone is dragging and I’m herding cats - y’all I’m not a cat person either 😑 

[ad] In trying out ways to help with focus and changing up our routines. I’m seeing how techniques and even incorporating @maryruthorganics Focus & Attention for kids all natural supplements is a beneficial addition. 

We’ve been moving more towards organic and clean options from the inside out especially in our diet. I started off with their postpartum probiotics and now introducing this line for our kids 👌🏽 

What are some techniques you use in helping your kids focus on those tough #homeschooling days? #maryruthpartner
