If the summer heat is getting to you or you're starting to get the end of summer, back-to-school morning routine blues - you just need a good laugh. I was having a conversation with a friend recently about the many times our children have unintentionally embarrassed us in public and how in the moment, we were mortified, but looking back - it makes a pretty funny story, and I thought, what a great … [Read more...]
Our FresYes Family End of Summer Bucketlist
Since my son was in preschool, each year I've created an informal mental bucket list of things I'd like to do over the summer with him. It's kind of funny really, because my husband and I are still working even though he's out of school, so it's a bucket list of fun experiences crammed into weekends or flex hours just like the rest of the year - BUT, they are things that just have to be enjoyed in … [Read more...]
FresYes Families: How our Fresno Family went solar
I feel like "going solar" is something people talk about possibly doing at some point, but the actual process of doing it seems a bit nebulous. Most people seem to know they have the ability to buy or lease solar panels, but the option I didn't know about, that I'd bet others don't know about yet either is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Our family just went through the process of getting solar … [Read more...]
FresYes Families: Heatproof cosmetics Moms will love
This week, FresYes is not only hot, but it's humid. This is the combination of summer elements us Valley-dwellers dread. It seems we can tolerate a good amount of heat, so long as it stays dry - but once the humidity kicks in, we're ready to start thinking about winter and Christmas and Alaskan cruises. The reality is hot and humid or not, life goes on and us moms on the go who want to look … [Read more...]
FresYes Family Fun: Have you tried Geocaching?
In light of the recent excitement over the social media/treasure hunting phenomenon of "@hiddencash" visiting Fresno", I heard a friend say, "Now I want to try Geocaching!" Looks like the Central Valley is where people are most enthusiastic. Not surprising after our huge Fresno turnout. Her statement made me think that it'd been too long since the last time our family went Geocaching … [Read more...]
FresYes families: 5 fun things to do this 4th of July weekend
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are few things more joy inducing than having a holiday line up with a weekend, giving many families several days off in a row. I know I'm excited, that's for sure! Fresno's heat can make planning fun things to do with the family a little but tricky, seeing as melting family members and bbq guests is somewhat undesirable. To help make planning a little easier for … [Read more...]
FresYes medical professionals your family will love
As a kids orthodontist Wichita noted, there are some professionals that we just trust more when we hear about them through a friend, am I right? A mechanic. A realtor. A babysitter. A doctor or a dentist. Admit it - knowing someone can vouch for that person's professionalism, skill, honesty and friendliness matters. In conversations with other Fresnans, both online and in-person, the topic of … [Read more...]
FresYes Families: Making summer reading fun for kids
Summer vacation for FresYes kiddos has officially begun! With summer's carefree days of sun, swimming, barbecues and friends comes one little problem: summer learning loss. The phrase is being heard more often and morphed a bit too, as you may have heard it referred to as the "summer slide." Call it what you like, but the reality is when kids stop all educational activities for the summer, they … [Read more...]
