Number One Sport Fanatic! #FutureFanatics

I have a home full of sports fanatics. Soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey – you name it they love it! We are raising two young future Fanatics in our home and I could not be prouder!

From the time that our boys were born they were sporting their jerseys of their future favourite teams (a.k.a. Mom’s favourite teams – The Maple Leafs and the Raptors – woohoo let’s go Toronto!). Saturday night was always hockey night in our home growing up and I loved the family bonding time it provided us with. I want my children to experience this love as well.

What started out as a once weekly family sports night has turned into watching games together almost every night and now with the FIFA games on my poor cable box is full of recordings of each match! But they love it and we love it. There is nothing better then spending two hours cheering, shouting and laughing with each other. The boys take it one step further and head outside to practice their moves on the court and on the field (honestly can’t even keep up with them anymore!).
The best moments for them have been when they have attended live events (which has not been many but they have definitely been cherished moments!). The picture above was from my son’s first Raptor game and he was so over the moon before and after the game. It was all he talked about for a month straight! These are the moments we hope they remember forever.
Fanatics wants you to share your Future Fanatics with them on social media – show off your little one’s favourite team! If you are not yet familiar with Fanatics they are one of the top leaders in online retail of licensed sports merchandise. They made their first sale in 1997 and have only grown larger over the years. They sell everything from NHL to MLB to NFL – everything your little Fanatic would love! Check them out on Facebook and Twitter and show them how proud you are of your #FutureFanatics.
What sports does your little one play? Is physical activity and sports important to you as a family?

The Blossom Street Brides #review

Debbie Macomber has won the hearts of millions of readers with her moving and inspiring stories.

In Blossom Street Brides wedding bells are ringing in a close community that centres around A Good Yarn, located in a small Seattle neighborhood. People come to the store to buy yarn and patterns but always leave richer in friendship and love from the relationships with the owner.

Lauren Elliott has waited years for her l boyfriend, Todd, to propose but he always seems more focused on his career than on their relationship. When Lauren learns that her younger sister is pregnant before she is even engaged, she is happy but completely disheartened. Knowing that she can’t put her future on hold anymore, Lauren makes a bold choice—one that leads her to a man that she never dreamed she’d meet.

Newly married to her second husband, Max, Bethanne Scranton is completely in love. But with their jobs separating them on a daily basis (Max’s job in California and Bethanne’s in Seattle) their long-distance marriage is becoming difficult to maintain. To further complicate matters, Bethanne’s cunning ex will do anything to win her back as well as her children’s.

Lydia Goetz is happy with her husband, Brad, although lately she worries about the future of her store – A Good Yarn the community gathering point. As she considers how to increase business, she discovers that someone has beaten her to it. Baskets of yarn are mysteriously popping up all over town, with instructions to knit a scarf for charity and bring it into Lydia’s store. Her shop receives so much attention but she has no idea who has hatched this brilliant plan?

A great summer read for the pool or the beach! An easy story to follow with the three women’s lives intersecting in such an unique way. Great romances and life stories behind each characters that helps you relate to each one (I am sure you will know at least one person that you can relate to a character!). You will love curling up outside with this book!

Rating: 4/5
