She's getting ready for her first BJJ tournament! And, raising money for Tap Cancer Out!

This is what happens when my youngest steals my phone and decides to perform pretty much every song she knows while picking on her brother, and not listening to her parents (US!), all while staring at herself to ensure she's positioned just right for the camera. What a diva! And, did I mention the faces? Oh, the faces. The hilarious part of this is, that it's basically a typical day in our household. Yelling across the house included. What a treasure to find after cleaning up some of my photos! I nearly deleted it. SO glad I can bribe her with this someday! 😜 @EldridgeApril

We entered the VR world this past Christmas and we’re definitely enjoying it! Gwen, our 5yr old, is loving “singing” as she makes her way through these tracks on Beat Saber. She’s quite good! Must be all that neuroplasticity 😂

We needed this. A change of scenery was exactly what we all needed, and you can’t ask for a better landscape than the NC mountains in the Fall. Believe it or not, we’ve never done a true vacation, nothing more than 2-3 days that is. Until now. We started our mountain getaway on a Saturday and plan to return late Friday afternoon, so, this is the longest we’ve ever been away as a family. Here are the first few days of our vacation in the town of Seven Devils, NC, which is a small town within the Grandfather Mountain community. Places / Descriptions: 1. Airbnb in Seven Devils (https://abnb.me/BPb25J68Ljb) 2. Grandfather Mountain / Mile High Bridge (https://grandfather.com/) 3. Grandfather Mountain Animal Habitats 4. Mystery Hill in Blowing Rock (https://mysteryhill.com/) - Axe throwing, artifact museum, old-timey photos, bull riding, gem mining, gravity anomaly, science museum, river all, and gift shop 5. Home away from home! Enjoy! The Eldridge Family September 2021 www.efamilychronicles.com

My baby is growing up! She had her pre-K graduation yesterday and it was so special. Being that it was her first time on stage with dancing and singing, she nailed it! She was meant for the stage and felt right at home! Here comes Kindergarten! Follow our family’s blog at www.efamilychronicles.com!

What can I say, she's destined to be a performer! Her new favorite movie is Netflix's Yes Day, and she's singing "Baby, I need your loving" on repeat. I was able to record her (sneakily) singing it in her room. Oh, how she'll hate me someday. But, not today! :-) Love her vibrancy SO much!

I can only imagine what it was like for my Mom, who suffered from the inside. This story is real, and it's raw, and it's from my perspective. This is a first-hand account of what it was like to watch someone suffer from mental illness, and addiction, from the outside.   The blog post was initially published to my blog www.efamilychronicles.com    Please listen, and speak up!
