To The Kids I Nanny This Summer

I don't know what my life would be like without you girls

To The Kids I Nanny This Summer
McKenzie Brouk

Being a nanny comes with its high points and its low points, but being an important part of a child's life is so rewarding. There are days where I do not want to go to "work", but then I get there and the kids I nanny somehow know how to completely turn my day around.

Dear kiddos,

The school year with you two was fun, but summer will be even better. I have never met two little girls in my life who make me smile, and enjoy my job as much as you girls have. Although there are times where we get on each other toes, crying fits, and back-talk there are so many times where there is just complete laughter, and those are the moments that makes being a nanny truly special. Whenever we play Zingo I seriously get a workout with just how much we laugh, and I would not trade that for the world. Thank you for teaching how to stay calm, and be patient. There are times where I feel my head might explode from the whining, or when you refuse to take a bath or eat, but eventually it happens (sometimes it involves a sucker at the end).

I feel like I have known both of you for much longer than a year, but I guess that is what happens when you spend 4 days a week with someone! I cant believe we will be entering summer schedule which means more time together, probably a few more meltdowns, maybe not liking me at times, but absolutely ten times more fun. I promise to make this summer one to remember with movies, swimming, ice cream dates, going on adventures, and being completely exhausted by the end of the day.

Thank you for being such a huge part of my life, and let's enjoy these last two months have together. Most importantly let's start planning the summer craziness!

Love,

Kenzie

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

ORHS Graduation
Kristen Sack, ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
