Phoenix POGO Pass Giveaway

Have you heard of the POGO Pass?? 

It's an awesome 12-month access pass to some of the best venues in Phoenix. 

For a small fee, you can get the POGO Pass and get free admission to some awesome activities around the valley. Places like the Phoenix Zoo, the Sea Life aquarium, Sunsplash, and more! 

I'm really excited to be able to use my pass with Elijah (while Adam is stuck at school) this summer and go on some fun field trips. We haven't gotten out to explore much of what Phoenix has to offer the last 2 years so I'm really hoping this gives us the perfect opportunity to create some fun memories. 

You can get a POGO Pass for a great discount right now {only $39.98!! originally $99} with the code MRSROBINSON. 

Buying a pass at $39.98 basically pays for itself after just one trip to the zoo with your family! 

Plus you get admission to lots of other awesome places as well. 

Make your summer break more enjoyable [and budget friendly!] with the POGO pass! 

And if that wasn't great enough, the people at POGO Pass are giving away one free POGO pass to one lucky winner!

GOOD LUCK!

emotional motherhood confessions

Last week was kind of a rough one with this little one. 

We had two good days and three bad ones. 

Very bad ones. 

"Making me second guess having another kid" bad ones. 

I have been at a loss of how to teach this boy.

I feel like I have tried everything when it comes to teaching, training, discipline, consequences... 

And nothing works. 

Which quite honestly scares me to feel so out of control with another one on the way. 

And out of control I feel everrrrrrryday. 

I hate feeling angry.
I hate feeling upset.
I hate feeling overwhelmed. 

I hate feeling mean & unloving. 

I hate feeling like a terrible mom.  

A feeling that sticks with me 24/7. 

I love this boy so much and I hate that I don't know how to help him. 

I also hate that I feel like no matter how much love I show him, he can dish out the attitude and misbehavior all day long. 

But I do. 

I do love him so much. 

Even on the days I think I don't cause he neverrrrr listens. 

I just hope and pray that he remembers me as a mom who loves him instead of as a mom that yelled at him for not listening all day long. 

But maybe I already ruined that hope? 

Not that you have to totally validate me... but I can't be the only one that has these thoughts, right?? 

[okay maybe I want to feel validated a little...]

Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice

This weekend is an amazing time for our church because we get to hear from the Lord's living prophet & apostles on earth. I love Conference weekend and being able to hear such inspired and uplifting words that help get me through the next 6 months [until next Conference].

I think everyone, LDS or non-LDS, should have the chance to listen to Conference and hear their wonderful words. 

{And PSST: lots of those inpriational quotes you see on Pinterest that you are probably pinning? those come from LDS Conference and prophets & apostles. so yeah, it's good! :)}

You can watch all the sessions online here. 

And here are some great highlights from October 2013 General Conference. 

I hope you can all tune in! It will be an unforgettable weekend :)
