Stowed Stuff | Stow Family: Party of Six

Drive. Park. Run.

April 23, 2014 1 Comment

My father-in-law advised me to run near the water. Run different routes. Run with him?? Let's be clear here. I cannot keep up with my 60 something father-in-law. He is a marathoner after all. Some day I hope to be able to run alongside someone without running at a snail's pace. But isn't this ... [ Read More ]

Another Broken Arm for Owen

April 18, 2014 11 Comments

We had a terrific Wednesday. Woke up to some snow, sent the big kids off to school for Neon/80's day and hung out with Owen and Andrew. I dismissed the big kids early from school and took them ALL to the dentist. We had a great visit with no cavities and no problems getting up in the big chair. I ... [ Read More ]

April 15, 2014 Leave a Comment

Did you know that April 22nd is Earth Day? Are you doing anything special this year to reduce, reuse or recycle? Here at the Stow house, we’re getting ready to build some raised beds for a vegetable garden so we can eat home grown veggies like lettuce, carrots, peas and tomatoes! I love spring and [...]

Caribe Royale, Orlando Florida

April 15, 2014 20 Comments

We recently returned from a romantic retreat to Caribe Royale, in sunny Orlando, Florida. The minute we stepped off that airplane we could feel that sultry Florida air and it felt so good. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were treated to goodies galore, and it was perfect because we were starving. We enjoyed a [...]

Tips and Tricks For Beginning Runners

April 14, 2014 28 Comments

I am no athlete. Never was, never will be. But after losing 7 or 8 pounds recently, I really want to keep it off and get fit. My eating habits have definitely improved and I’m liking my new middle. Heck, I know I still have my pooch belly, but I feel better and I like [...]

Play Ball!

April 11, 2014 20 Comments

Tomorrow marks one of those firsts that has been a long time coming. Growing up, I tagged along with my mom to all of my big brothers’ baseball games and those memories are fond ones. And on that hot summer night in July of 2008, when I got my very own little slugger, baseball was [...]

Even Monsters {Giveaway}

April 9, 2014 33 Comments

Putting four kids to bed is no easy task. Sometimes it’s the second hardest part of the day (morning rush takes the gold) and Chris and I try to take turns putting them to bed. But sometimes, it’s just so crazy that it takes two of us and we need to divide and conquer. However, [...]

Vlog Every Day in April #VEDA

April 1, 2014 23 Comments

I can’t believe I have managed to get this far. The vlogging (video blogging) thing CAN be a lot of work when you’ve got other deadlines and commitments, but it’s SO MUCH FUN and that’s what has kept me going. I vlogged every single day in March. Now, there’s this thing going on called #VEDA! [...]

A Florida Sunshine Getaway

March 31, 2014 26 Comments

Old man winter sure has had a good go around up here in New England, but quite frankly, I’m sick of it all! Has it not been the longest winter ever? It seems like our Disney vacation was a lifetime ago! I am just so sick of hats, boots, mittens, scarves and chapped lips! Sometimes [...]

Beautiful Amber Jewelry {Giveaway}

March 31, 2014 55 Comments

I love amber. I love the colors; cognac, honey, green, yellow, cream, and ivory. I used to have a beautiful amber necklace that I got on our honeymoon in Bermuda, but the wire broke and it was really not fixable. I wore it all summer long for YEARS. I just love amber. Today I get to [...]
