The Benefits of a Backyard Swingset

It’s no question that owning a back yard swing set is any kid’s dream. There are hours of fun to be had on a backyard swing set and you don’t even have to leave your house. A swing set brings all the fun to your back yard making it simple for mom and dad. But did you know a swing set is much more than just hours of fun in your backyard? There are incredible health and development benefits for children that come simply from owning a backyard playset.

3 Reasons You Need a Backyard Swingset

Inspire creativity and imagination.

Backyard playsets offer great open ended play. You can be a pirate sailing a ship looking out to sea through your telescope, you can run your own restaurant from your picnic table, or set off on a new adventure as you swing to new heights. There are endless possibilities for kids to use their creativity and imagination. Open ended play is incredibly important for kids to exercise their imagination, and a back yard swing set is a great opportunity for kids to be creative! Not to mention, it enables them to be creative while getting them outside! There is no going wrong with fresh air and Vitamin D.

Enhance motor skills and coordination.

Backyard swingsets offer a variety of different features that can enhance motor skills and coordination in children. Ladders, rock walls, rope swings, and rings are all great accessories on play sets that offer children chances to develop their skills. No matter the age of a child, they can practice and develop their skills in age appropriate ways for them.

Physical benefits of keeping kids active.

Everyone knows that physical activity is important for children, but sometimes that is easier said than done. In a world where technology is so big, even for kids, getting them outside can be a challenge. A backyard playset offers all the fun and opportunity for kids to get outside in their own backyard and be active! Physical activity is a great way to keep kids healthy, help them sleep better, and more!

What Swingset is Right for You?

Purchasing a backyard playset can feel overwhelming. There are SO many options at all different price points. Getting a quality swingset is important for the safety of your children and longevity of your product to grow with your kids. So be sure to keep that in mind when you are researching the perfect swingset for you.

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
