#goodcop

8.07.2015

Not All Cops Are Bad #goodcopWith all the negativity surrounding our country’s police officers these days, I thought I’d share these photos of my wonderfully amazing husband doing what he does best: Bringing laughs to others, while keeping his city safe. I hope you know how proud of you I am, and how much I appreciate everything that you sacrifice for your job.

Not All Cops Are Bad  #goodcop Join me in celebrating the good cops. The ones that risk their lives every day for the good of the community. The ones that are out there day in and day out, fighting for the good they see in people.  Help spread the good image, stop spreading the hate.

      He was driving through a park and came upon this little girl and her dad. Her dad took the photos for him! 🙂

    I love this so much! How do we make it go viral?

    What did he pull her over for?

    Gotta keep these crazies off the roads!

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.10.2015 at 2:04 pm

      Hahaha I wish I could make it go viral, I would have no idea how! Haha. He was just driving through a park making sure that nothing bad was going on, when he saw her little car. Her dad thought it was so cute! 🙂

    The can on the ground indicates littering. Hopefully this was her first offense and he let her off with a warning. ? Keep up the good work B! Thank you both for the sacrifice you make to keep the world a safer place!

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.10.2015 at 2:05 pm

      Hahaha good point. I mean, clearly you can’t just throw your cans wherever you want! 😉 Love you!

    As someone who works with law enforcement regularly and worked directly with them when I lived in Texas, I am so obsessed with this post. I am completely disgusted with how people treat police officers now because of what’s going on in the news. Bleghhh please thank your husband for his hard work and dedication, it’s still very much appreciated!

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.10.2015 at 2:05 pm

      Awwww thank you for your comment!! I will tell B you thanked him, he needs to hear it more often these days. 🙂

    There has been far too much negativity towards police officers lately; it’s horrible! They do so much for the community and should be respected and appreciated (of course there are always exceptions, but the majority really do make the world better and safer). Lovely post, those pictures are so cute! 🙂

      I couldn’t agree more! One or two bad seeds don’t make the hundreds of thousands of them bad. I can’t speak for them all, but for this one, he’s definitely a good seed. Hehe. 😉

  10. Michelle says

    8.09.2015 at 9:38 pm

    I work with law enforcement every day, it’s an honor and a privilege to say the very least. They are people just like you and me, who have a very hard job to do. Bless him and you guys! <3

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.10.2015 at 2:06 pm

      Yes!!! You do work with them! I think your job is just as hard sometimes, so thank YOU for doing it too! 🙂

    What a great post, Shauna! Thank you for posting this. My next door neighbor is an officer and is a great guy. Too much negative publicity for a minority of officers, and not enough good publicity for the overwhelming majority of great police officers.

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.10.2015 at 8:29 am

      I completely agree, thank you for your support! Tell your neighbor we appreciate him and everything he does. 🙂

      Awww glad you liked them! I think that they’re pretty cute, but who knows, maybe I was a little biased. 😉

    Aww, this is so cute! <3 I'm extremely disheartened by how poorly people treat police officers these days too. Thank you for this, and tell your husband he's awesome for me! :]

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.12.2015 at 4:49 pm

      Awww thank you! I will tell him for sure. I completely agree with you about how poorly people treat officers. It’s time we all started spreading love. 🙂

    It’s a shame, you don’t tend to see a lot of the good cop stories coming from the US, ever. We mainly hear about the bad ones over here in the UK. I wish the news showed more ‘good’ cop stories!

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.30.2015 at 1:14 pm

      Oh me too! It’s the same way here, in the US. Only the bad things are broadcasted all over the country. That’s why I wish things like this would go viral, to show the world that the majority of our officers are good people. 🙂

Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five things every night that you’re thankful for, and BE thankful for them. So much of our lives are spent waiting for the next best thing when in reality, it’s sitting right in front of us.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’ If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’s to SLOW DOWN.

So much of life is spent going, going, going. Waiting for the next stage. Telling ourselves, “Once we get through this, things will be easier.” Once the kids are older. Once life settles down. Once we have more time. But what if we’re missing the whole point? Because the moments we’re so eager to get through ARE the moments.

Today is the important stuff. The ordinary days. The messy days. The little conversations, the giggles, the routines, the chaos, the moments that don’t feel significant while we’re living them. We spend so much time wishing for the next chapter that we forget we’re already living one we’ll someday wish we could go back to.

So slow down.

Be here.
Pay attention.
Let the moment take as long as it needs to.

Because someday, these will be the days we miss.

This is your permission slip to let the crafts be This is your permission slip to let the crafts be messy. 

They don’t need to match your house. They don’t need to be Pinterest-worthy. They don’t need to be made with a neutral color palette and a Cricut. They just need to be theirs.

Because someday I’m probably going to miss the paper scraps, the glue everywhere, the questionable color combinations, and the little masterpieces I had no idea what to do with. Let them make the ugly craft. Let them make a mess. Let them create something that looks nothing like what you had in mind.

But my days are always like that, and even though it’s exhausting and overwhelming at times, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Even if I only have ONE moment like this a day, it’s one moment a day I could miss out on if they were in a traditional school. 

So here’s to whatever choice you are making in regards to your kids education. What’s best for YOU is most important. And what’s best for us is this.

turns it into an activity. We spent the afternoon mixing the slime, experimenting with different textures, and (of course) testing out the ridiculously funny booger and fart pranks. 🤣

My girls were completely entertained, and I loved watching them create, experiment, and laugh together. It feels like pure fun for the kids, but there’s actually some pretty cool science and engineering behind it all, plus Mark Rober walks you through even more with the QR code inside the kit.

Who in your family would be the first prank target?

A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making… This w A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making…

This weekend at church, my daughter got to light the candles for the first time. At the end of the service, when she went up on her own to extinguish them, proud tears dropped from my eyes. And as I looked around at others, I noticed I wasn’t the only one. 

If you had asked me in my early to mid twenties, I wouldn’t have imagined how much this community, this faith, and these little traditions would come to mean to our family. There was a season of my life, long before I became a mom, where I drifted away from actively going to church. Now, getting to watch my girls grow up surrounded by faith, love, and a church family who knows them and celebrates them feels like such a gift.
