Hockey camp, even though I’m still nervous, is looking like a success! I was nearby between appointments, so I stopped in for a peek. He is volunteering and engaging... I’m not even sure that he had noticed that I am here... and that’s a very good thing! ❤️ He is the tiny guy in the white helmet down front in the group picture... and yes, his jersey is mostly covering his shorts. 🤨 And now I’m sneaking out... they have lunch, swimming, and on ice games to go! #hockeycamp #hesa2012 #smallbutmighty #sillyworriedmom #theytoldmehewouldbefine #mitehockey #instahockey #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayersoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ygucUBOwW/?igshid=fgxmf79o5zs8

Morning affirmations are such an important way to start my day, particularly during times of uncertainty... when self doubt could easily creep in and try to take over. 🤨 #nottoday Do you have affirmations or things that you say to yourself to remind you of your purpose or place? I would love to hear what you find works for you! #dailyaffirmations #anxietyrelief #dailyhabits #realtalk #reallife #mondaymorning #newweeknewstart #theonlythingcertainischange #busybaraldis #selflove #selfcare #selftalk #positiveselftalk (at New Castle County, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0f9Gp7lJYF/?igshid=t147w0b7147r

Had some awesome hockey this past week that culminated with an opportunity for my Little Man to try out the goalie position (since he finally is big enough for the gear). He was just going to practice it, with a plan to play the position in a game this coming week... but about half an hour into that, we got word that an in house team needed a goalie (and a few players) for a game. What an awesome opportunity to learn and grow. ❤️🏒 #mitehockey #mitehockeyplayer #hesa2012 #smallbutmighty #hockeyplayersofinstagram #instahockey #instahockeyplayer #growingskills #trysomethingnew #trynewthings #activekids #travelhockeyplayer #offseason #hemakesmeproud (at The Patriot Ice Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eFzjOFNIJ/?igshid=xgca8ley51by

#nightswimming Little Man is all about hitting the bottom of the pool this week. It is 9 ft deep... and well, he is little... so it is a feat!

How much do I love this kid. Haha such the little professional. 🥰🏌️ Today is the final day of his golf camp. They did a 3 hole team scramble yesterday, and he LOVED it. They apparently used his ball often. The coach has been awesome, and says he has talent (surprise! It’s a sport with a stick after all 🤷🏻‍♀️). He is the youngest of the group, as usual, but is hanging tight. To me, it doesn’t matter if he is great or riding the struggle bus but happy... it is the joy and WORK that he brings to all things that amaze me and make me proud. I’m so glad he is getting this experience. 😁 #wellroundedkid #wellroundedathlete #offseasonfun #thisisoffseason #sportswithsticks #hesa2012 #activelifestyle #doingthework #golfinkids #kidsgolf #makingmemories #memoriesinthemaking #hemakesitlookeasy #happykid #makesmyheartsing #puttinghisheartintoit #busybaraldis #reallife #nofilter (at Hartefeld National) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GcAZ7FmbE/?igshid=1s96yfgr55svg

Someone is seeing some “benefits” to tooth brushing! Haha He was getting it done when he called to me because his tooth “just wiggled out”... thankfully he was able to get it and it didn’t fall down the sink. 😲 #realhockeyplayer #toothless #sixyearsold #dentisttoldhimheshouldletapuckknockitout #waitingonthetoothfairy #ourtoothfairythinksshesrich #worthmorethangold #busybaraldis #reallife #nofilter #growinguphockey (at New Castle County, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BGx7NlOSg/?igshid=1cf2ebz0kk977

Pool time! It is special time with my Little Man while all of his siblings are out! ❤️ It is an oddity that hubby and I can “relax” with him at the same time while not on vacation, so this was his request. ❤️ #busybaraldis #busymomlife #offseasonfun #backyardpool #pooltime #swimming #familytime #relaxation #poolgames #icanholdmybreaththelongest #hecanswimbetterthanme #divingboardtricks #lovethis https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz6H68sl2LH/?igshid=11sm9sjlnhtnn

So proud and blessed to be his momma... on our way home from hockey practice! 🏒We were short on kids tonight, which meant that the VERY few there had ALL the attention. He worked hard. 🥰💪🏻 And now he gets to relax in the pool. 😜 #hockeyplayer #mitehockey #summerhockey #summervibes #nhldreams #itscalledbalance #offseasontraining #hesa2012 #proudmomma #momof4 (at New Castle County, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzwSacxl4Wg/?igshid=1m4wq4ctoc0l7

I would love to stay in this place forever... big changes are coming when we head home next week, and absolutely nothing is certain. I know it can be a VERY good thing... but still, I would love to live in this moment for a bit longer. #changeishard #changeiscoming #theuniversehasyourback #askbelievereceive #somethingbetteriscoming #changechoseus #theremustbeareason #remainpositive #busybaraldis #reallife #realtalk #theweightofourfamily (at Myrtle Beach State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRGjHaF29W/?igshid=12bsc4zcskk4c

Nothing says vacation like a little extra ME time! It’s raining today, so not only am I doing a foot soak/scrub, but I am also giving myself an extra dose of my favorite Mint Mask! I love how my skin feels and looks after my mask... and it needs it after being assaulted by sun, ocean, and pool water all week long! I would never give up the sun, beach, or pool... I just need to be good about taking care of me after. 😉) Reach out if you want to try it for yourself. #mintmask #herbalifecoach #morethanjustshakes #skincare #skincareproducts #facemask #claymask #metime #lovingmyself #familyvacation #personalcare #nofilter #reallife #busybaraldis (at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBdnozl-Yf/?igshid=1175dqvk5j1cx

Hockey players gotta “hockey”... even if he is at the beach! We love this roller hockey rink, and spending time there with his cousins, dad and Popi only make it better! #hockeyisforeveryone #instahockey #hesa2012 #fuelinghispassion #healthylifestyle #hockeyisawayoflife #mitehockey #offtheice #stickhandling #vacationdays #familyvacation #proudmomma (at Grand Park Athletic Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/By_uGD6lT-p/?igshid=1skzfvvg4kegl

More pics will be coming but THIS kid makes is endlessly proud and I had to share! He played hard all weekend long... and is basking in the results! He played B and A level in a tournament... that meant double the games... and 2 medals... along with all of the pride! 2 hat tricks on Saturday, plus 8 more goals and many assists... he never gave up or showed that he was worn. His teams worked just as hard. They were ALL tremendous. 🏒 💕 #mitehockey #mitehockeyplayer #hesa2012 #alwaysdoyourbest #alwaysgiveyourall #mitemeltdown2019 #proudmomma #busybaraldis #reallife #22weloveyou #twiceasgoodas11 #instahockey #hockeyplayers #hockeyisforeveryone #42lbsofhockeylove (at The Patriot Ice Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byg4HdHFQNU/?igshid=102x2bkcl4s8e
