July was the month for my date with Cooper, my 6 year old son. If you don’t remember, I’ll remind you… I’ve been taking one child each month out for a date with Mom. They get to choose where we eat and what activity we do.
Cooper decided on IHop, followed by swimming.


It was a great night, and it was fun to re-connect with my funny and sweet boy. I spend so much time being a mom to a litter of kids that it’s hard to spend a lot of one-on-one time with any of them. Sometimes it’s easy for me to forget to see them as little individuals rather than a collective, so this is a wonderful activity that I can do with each of them. I look forward to my monthly date with the kids and am thankful that I have the opportunity to spend some quality time with them. Love you Cooper!
