Welcome to our Treehouse

Welcome to The Monkey's Treehouse. 

Thanks for visiting. We are always happy to have guests. 

Allow me to introduce us. We are a superstar husband and wife team. I am married to Mr. Incredible. We have five children (our monkeys). Yes, you're right, that's a lot of monkeys. We are a blended family (or a "frappucino family" as we like to sometimes call it.) Our monkeys are Mister (12), Belle (10), JBean (8), Bugaboo (4), and Peanut (2). Those are not their given names, but we will be using these variations of their nicknames in our blog to protect them and their privacy. It doesn't matter which monkeys came from who, they are ours and we love them fiercely.

Having five monkeys requires a lot of time. Mr. Incredible works full time outside of the home and I used to work part time. Between the two of us, we worked out schedules, appointments, activities, visits, homework, and life in general, but time was TIGHT. There just were not enough hours in the day to accommodate everyone's schedules.

Mr. Incredible and I had been talking about opening our own online business. We had been dabbling and the business took off a bit faster than we anticipated (as new businesses take time to build.) Eventually, I got to follow my dreams and open the online store full time. (I will forever be grateful to Mr. Incredible for that.) Today, I get to work from home running our online business called The Monkey's Treehouse and I get to be home with our monkeys. Mr. Incredible still works outside the house but always comes home and gives 110% to our kiddos, our marriage, and our business. He's just. that. incredible. 

With five monkeys and a new business, time isn't the only thing that gets tight. Money gets tight too. So we have gotten creative with activities and freebies that are free and/or very inexpensive. We also make a lot of things ourselves and re-purpose what we have to fit our needs. We will be sharing those adventures (and sometimes misadventures) here for you to follow along. We will share ideas of free/low cost activities that you can participate in as well!

We hope you join us on our journey to success at home, work, and play. Hang on tight. With our monkeys it's usually a wild and silly ride.
