Big Family Travel. Big Family Fun.
I don’t know about your kids, but my kids are always begging me to buy them fruit snacks and gummies whenever we’re at the grocery store. My kids go bonkers over them. I’m a happy mom knowing that a healthier option is available in Target and Walmart. Meet SMARTCANDY®, a vitamin infused snack, by Snap […]
St. Patrick’s Day is such a fun holiday in the Stow house. We like to celebrate with green wee, a sure sign that there’s been a visit from the leprechaun. This year, why not whip up something yummy for the whole family? These St. Patrick’s Day Desserts will make your mouth water. Which one are […]
The entire family is just wrapping up our LISTERINE® 21-Day Challenge and everyone in the Stow house agrees that our mouths look and feel healthier. The big kids have done such a great job swishing with the Smart Rinse and have now made it part of their nightly routine! Woohoo! I love the reassurance I […]
Holy heck, this snow has really taken its toll. Have you seen a meal plan lately? NO! Plus, there was a week of school vacation which had us eating out A heck of a lot! We’re back to it! It might be a night later than usual, but we’re back at it! Don’t miss this […]

Did you know that February is National Children’s Dental Health Month? One of my biggest concerns about parenting in this house is oral health. “Did you brush your teeth?” Growing up, there were plenty of nights when I “forgot” to brush my teeth and I certainly paid the consequences. I never flossed, I hated going […]
I don’t have a middle name from birth. I was just Anne. When I got married, I took Connelley as my middle name. I did my student teaching at an all boys school in Sydney, Australia. I’ve never been horseback riding. I met Jerry Springer and Wyclef once. On spring break. In Jamaica. I’m a […]
Holy heck, it’s over. It was tiring, but it was also memorable and way fun. As I type this, Emily is still dancing her heart out at the Dance Olympus workshop with the folks that put on the competition yesterday in Brockton. She gets to spend the day with their instructors learning new choreography and improving […]
