Being Petunia: Ginger Parrish

Meet Ginger Parrish. She’s the adorable blonde mama with two boys and a playful energy that we just can’t get enough of. Her colorful Instagram feed is full of fun outings, inspiring anecdotes, LOL-worthy snapshots and chic style. Visit her blog or follow her @gparrish, but first click through to read a few things about her life as a mom. 

Describe the perfect play date with your kids:

We are ALL BOY around these parts. Bugs, bikes, Popsicles, sports, super heroes and wrestling matches all the live long day. The perfect play date for us involves any activity ever invented without melt downs. Doesn’t matter what we’re doing, if we can get there and back with no tears + no broken bones I would classify it as PERFECT. But really, after reading time at the library on Wednesday’s, we ride our scooters to the 7/11 down the street for a Slurpee and a fresh maple ring donut. We sit on the curb outside the front door + hunt for all the alphabet letters we can find. Might not sound too glamours but it’s pretty much our very favorite thing to do. Doesn’t take much to please these kiddos!

We want to know. What’s in your bag…

Things I love that make life out with my little ones easier. To see some of the items that Ginger brings along in her bag for an afternoon out with her littles, click here!

Quote on motherhood that you adhere to:

There are two quotes I love:

“There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one.” Jill Churchill

“Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone else’s happiness and well being above your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is  —- and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.” -Donna Bill
