#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. 😉

    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. 🙂

One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍

Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.

I’m not interested in raising a child who expects constant entertainment or new toys. I want to raise one who knows how to create their own magic.

Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet wish most grown women understood too. I see so many adults actively TRYING to fit in…work, church, neighborhood, sports, etc. 

You shouldn’t have to try. If you’re trying to be someone you’re not, it’s not right. For you, or for them. Your tribe will come along, I promise you. Even if that tribe is one person, it’ll be better than a hundred women who just don’t get you.
Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love t Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love to travel, I love to go out for dinner, I love having new clothes. But somewhere along the way, we’ve lost the ability to just say “No, I don’t want to spend the money on that.” 

Our budgets don’t always allow for the same experiences that our friend or neighbors may have, and that is perfectly okay. We need to stop overspending and start saving. We need to be financially secure before buying more junk that isn’t fulfilling, or going out for another dinner. 

Do you feel comfortable telling someone you don’t have the budget for something?
