#### Disclosure: I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for [AVEENO](http://www.aveeno.com/). I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. #UnscriptedBeauty

It seems Staci and I have been parents forever and a day... or at least it's feels that way sometimes. We had Cheyenne nearly 20 years ago AND she is getting married in a few months. Excuse me while I cry a moment. Okay. With that being said, I can attest that we have seen some unscripted moments in our lives. Like that time when I was wrestling with 6 year old Chey and received a swift kick between the legs. *Ouch!* Thank goodness Staci didn't get a picture of my pain. Of course, it wass probably because she was too busy laughing her butt off.

I have come to understand it's that it's not about the moments you plan, life's in the moments that *just happen*. As painful as that kick was, I will always look back and laugh... now. For me, it's the time in the floor with crayons or action figures simply having fun. It's the nights spent in a fort we made in the living room... or the times at our favorite theme park.

If I have to be honest, Staci and I are some of the luckiest parents on the face the Earth. We love all 5 of our kids no matter how many questions we have to answer or how many times we get upset with them. They are our kids!

The next time you see a chance to create one of those moments, make sure to get on the floor or step out of your comfort zone. *Just do it!* It just may be one of those times when you leave an impressionable mark on your children that lasts a lifetime.

*Little Fact:* An **AVEENO** survey found most parents say that "unscripted" moments are more beautiful than those that are perfectly planned. At the end of the day, it’s sharing candid, unscripted moments that [build authentic relationships](https://daysofadomesticdad.com/what-all-dads-should-know/ "Building and Maintaining a Relationship: What All Dads Should Know?").

#AVEENO and I [encourage parents to embrace the natural](https://daysofadomesticdad.com/encourage-fitness-in-our-children/) beauty of a life that doesn't always go as planned.
