The Rognon Project

We got this!

OUR PROJECT

We are working together to find the best versions of ourselves.

A few years ago, we had our financial disaster and it changed everything. We realized that we needed to change and work to become better. We decided that we shouldn't only focus on our finances but also our health and relationships. Now we document and share what we are up to.

Roggies take on Disney World - 2023 Edition. ✌🏻

We told our kids that if we could save up (gas $ & lodging - tickets are covered from our annual pass we got on our sabbatical) we would take them back to Disney World this summer so they could ride TRON.

They have watched the ride being built for years now & last winter, as it was closer to being done, they also got to watch the ride go for test runs. So, let’s just say they all REALLY wanted to ride it.

And James & I got to watch their eyes light up as we entered the grid and got to ride TRON. Annabelle was nervous but brave & she ended up LOVING it.

It was a miserably hot & busy day yesterday (for me - James was in his element), but watching our kids pure joy made up for all the other chaos. ✨🥰

Part of the fun at @waltdisneyworld is going to the different parks & trying all the fun, unique & classic foods.

Our kids have become pros at waiting in lines at @waltdisneyworld. As we’ve spent hours hanging out together we’ve seen them adopt some old classic boredom busters for long lines - and they've even come up with some knew ones. These are some of our favorites. If you have any more suggestions, let us know! #disneyworld #disneylife #disneyparks

Oh, Christmas trees; oh, Christmas trees! We spent

Oh, Christmas trees; oh, Christmas trees! We spent some time in #disneysprings this weekend, and they had the most magnificent Christmas trees. Most of the ones we saw were themed for something #disney related. Coco is one of our family's favorite movies and the tree looked so much like the movie. Our kids even asked us for a picture infront of the tree. It was fun to see the creativity and how they added some Disney Christmas magic to the shopping center. Can you name all the themes for each tree? #christmastrees

Why is Disney so magical? Is it the characters and what they represent? Or is it the special moments we get to have with one another? It’s always a good reminder to stop and enjoy the magic. #disneyworld #magicday #magickingdom

I was reflecting today on what a gift today was. I know so many people who I’m sure wished they could have “just one more day”. And it made me wonder - am I taking full advantage of this precious gift? Are you?

Tomorrows are never guaranteed, which makes slowing down & putting our time and effort where it matters that much more impactful and important.

With our last month left on sabbatical, we are taking advantage of #livingslowly #beingintentional & having #newexperiences with the kids.

If today were your last day on earth, how would you spend it? ❤️

Guess who’s back? Back again? Roggies are back.

We can see why Park Loop Road in #acadianationalpa

We can see why Park Loop Road in #acadianationalpark is one of the best scenic drinks in the Country. We found the 27-mile road to be a dreamy way to explore so many beautiful parts of this beautiful park while #travelingwithkids - We spent sun-up to sun-down exploring, stopping at beaches and scenic trails along the way. If you ever get a chance to #visitmaine make sure to put this park on the top of your list.

During our epic road trip, we took a drive on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway. It goes through the White Mountains National Forest and across New Hampshire. It took us somewhere around 3 hours to drive the 34.5 miles. As you can see, we hit the trees at the right time. 🍁🍂 Happy fall! 🍂🍁 #familymemories #kancamagushighway #familyroadtrip

4 Ways I combat anxiety and overwhelm: 1.) Gratit

4 Ways I combat anxiety and overwhelm:

1.) Gratitude practice. I like to add #gratitudepractice it in first thing in the morning to set my day, but I have friends who love doing it at night to end their day too.
2.) Fuel my body. For me that’s getting enough sleep, getting movement in, and eating foods that help me feel my best.
3.) Mindfulness practice. I pay attention to negative thoughts or comparison thoughts that pop up (ex: My cousin Megan is so much further along in her career than me… I’m a loser.) and replace it with a positive or neutral thought (ex: I am living a beautiful life and am having amazing experiences daily.)
4.) Meditation. This may look different for everyone (Some people pray, read the Bible, do guided meditation, etc) but when I take the time to quiet my mind and sit in stillness I always feel much more calm and balanced. Even if it’s just five mins.

Is there anything that helps you #findpeacewithin when faced with overwhelm and anxiety? I’d love to hear any of your #mindsetreset options that help you feel more balance.

Do you ever stop yourself and realize what a gift today day really is?

And also, all the sweet yesterdays and yesteryears too?

Tonight I’m just feeling extra blessed and thankful for this beautiful life we’ve built. #givethanksalways #givethankschallenge #thanksgivingweek

Washington DC held so many things to see. Before we left for the day we chose to find the memorials and see the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. We walked somewhere close to 3 miles and surprisingly, our kids didn’t complain. They would have stayed at the museum of natural history if they could have, specifically the geology section. #familyroadtrip #familytravel #visitdc #visitdcwithkids

When we plan our travels, we like to look at our #

When we plan our travels, we like to look at our #familybucketlist. We keep our family's "best-life list" on a shared google doc. We often look at that list when brainstorming fun experiences we'd like our family to have. We've been blessed to be able to go on many "life-list" adventures the past few months, and we're so excited to be visiting a top place on our list - #WashingtonDC!!!

Our first day in DC involved visiting: Ford's Theater (playhouse theater where Pres. Abraham Lincoln was shot), the Petersen House (The boarding house where Abraham Lincoln passed away the next morning), watched a protest march through Washington DCs streets (part of an international wave of protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini), walked through the National World War 1 Memorial, and saw the White House with our own eyes. Not bad for an afternoon.

The Ford's theater is where Abraham Lincoln was killed. The site is a national historic site and an active working theatre. The tickets are free to tour the historical sites, which include the theater, Peterson house, and the museums. The museum was so fascinating as it taught about Lincoln, his life, and his impact on our country. The experience was impactful, and we hope our kids will never forget it. #familyroadtrip

Have you been to Washington DC, before? What was your favorite part? And if you haven't, is it on your bucket list too?
