Big Family Travel. Big Family Fun.
Remember this time last year as we were all waiting for Kate and William’s big news? The royal baby!? Well can you believe it has been a year? Prince George will be turning one on July 22nd and in honor of the little fella’s first birthday, Tommee Tippee has so graciously offered up a ROYAL [...]
Let’s face it, summer entertaining is so much fun. I love having friends and family over to enjoy the good weather, some s’mores by the fire pit and some of Chris’s good home cooking. I just love summer (even when our air conditioning is on the fritz). Have you ever heard of Birch Lane? It’s [...]
Do you remember the good ol’ Trapper Keeper® from yesteryear? Nostalgic much? It’s funny how a Trapper Keeper® can really take you down memory lane – the loud velcro and the crazy annoying rings? If you had one, your teacher probably hated you. I remember getting the supply lists from some teachers in September saying [...]
So we partied it up as we celebrated the Best Summer Ever with friends a few weeks ago. Thank to Hood, we got to try some new flavored cottage cheeses and we even created some of their new recipes and shared them with our guests. So many people felt just like me – “I’m not [...]
Not sure if you all heard the news, but I’m officially the Ask-A-Mom for the all new Great Wolf Lodge New England, that just recently opened in Fitchburg, MA! Isn’t that crazy? The kids are so excited because it means lots of fun overnight trips to Great Wolf Lodge are in our future! We took [...]
Let’s face it, I’ve gained a few pounds with this broken foot. I was SO upset about it at first and definitely a little bit depressed. I had just completed my second ever 5K, purchased some awesome new running sneakers and a fancy new belt for carrying my phone while working out. This boot has [...]
Does it feel like summer yet? Are you grilling? Putting on sunscreen? Got any mosquito bites? I’m not so sure what was up with spring around here, but we are SO ready for summer. We’ve been grilling for a few weeks now and we sure are excited for the removal of casts, more swimming, lots [...]
My boys are obsessed with the birds! It’s funny how Owen has no love for the “baby shows” that his siblings watched when they were toddlers. Instead, he’s become a huge fan of the big kid stuff, following along in their footsteps. The big boys can’t get enough Angry Birds. Sony Entertainment just recently released [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
