The Basic Suburban - the basic suburban

September 11th, 2017

9/11/2017

Today marks a big day, an exciting day in our household as well as many others. School is starting for my little one & it's hard to not feel emotional. Excitement that they are growing into tiny humans; anxiety over watching them watch you leave; hope that their teachers will love them like their own; pride that they are your perfectly imperfect baby, regardless of their age.

In the midst of these happier and exciting moments, I am here to remind us of an emotion we as Americans never want to feel again : fear. For today 16 years ago, we as Americans were stripped of our blissful innocence and felt the wrath of true hate. Every September 11th, we remember the raw emotion felt and seen across our nation.

Make today the day you change. Make today the day you do instead of plan. Be kind to everyone. Be accepting of different than yourself. Judge less. Thank your veterans, first responders, everyday heroes & their families. Without them, where would we be?

We are all in this together.

the most basic suburban .....

For starters..... Basic. The term can be perceived to mean many different things. I define it as plain as it is; Simple. At the core, I am the same as many of you tuning in (major thank you for checking out the site)! I am an average parent trying my best to raise good & kind humans, while making the best of the perfect imperfections each day brings.

So, if you ever catch yourself wondering what a simple suburban life is like, you can find The Basic Suburban (me) chasing my tiny humans & fur child, doing house projects (because, DIY life), slowly browsing every aisle at Target Starbucks in hand, sipping wine promptly at 5pm (maybe even before), & trying to smile & laugh my way through the day.

... Now, meet my partner!

Hi! I'm Jennifer, veteran wife to Sean, mama to Lillian (4) and Austin (2) with another sweet boy on the way! We just moved to Phoenix, where we are finally able to plant some roots. We couldn't be more excited! We are in the process of building a house and enjoying this crazy season of life! I love pretty things, online shopping, cozy sweaters, football, and a good cup of coffee. Cooking, planning, and organizing gets me ridiculously excited. My family is my world and my greatest blessing.
