When the weather outside looks like this and the kids are itching to go "do something"....our family heads to a museum.  We had so much playing around, learning new things and enjoying the dinosaur exhibit.       It was a great way to spend a day with the ones I love most. :)

This month we have had 41.5 inches of snow. The third snowiest February in history. The kids are hoping and praying we reach number one. With more snow on the way this week, we just might make it . It has been the most beautiful winter I can ever remember. Nate says it is like he lives in a Bob Ross…

I have a daughter, and I long to give her a chance in this overly connected and photo shopped world of understanding herself beyond what a magazine will tell her she should be.  There are all kinds of  lists floating around on the Internet and books telling me what I should teach my daughter.  I agre…

Dylan and Aliya have always been extremely close. When Aliya was young Dylan would lie outside her door and cry for her while she napped and the punishment that they hate the most is being sent to separate rooms.  They are best buddies. The other night Aliya decided to give Dylan a back rub and he got so relaxed I tho…

Aliya fell sound sleep with her best furry friend. She insists on always being right next to him, kissing, petting and playing with him all day. Yogi loves all the attention and lies still while she plays vet, hairdresser or even takes a nap.

I have two wonderful boys.  Having grown up in a house of all girls, with a very easy going Dad, boy stuff was foreign to me.  My childhood was filled with hearts, unicorns, malls, make up, shoes, rainbows and butterflies. I did not live in a boys world at all.  Since becoming a mom I have learned my Transformer n…

This big bundle of  fur holds our heart.  He is running during all the excitement in our house, cuddling on the couch during movies and under my feet during dishes.  He is so close to us at all times of day that I joke that his name should have been Elmer (like the glue).  We adore our dog who can't get eno…

It is no secret that Nate loves baseball cards.  Collector's Heaven on Elm St. is a store that Nate and I have gone to since our first move to NH.  In fact, the owners still talk about when I was first pregnant and how cute Trent was as a baby.  They have become a store that we not only enjoy shopping at,…

I am thankful for our Valentine's Day filled with homemade cards, decorations and hugs and kisses. It was wonderful to sit back and enjoy my time with my sweet family.   Time spent chatting with Nate on the couch is my kind of Holiday.  I will never be able to put into words how blessed I feel each night…

The blizzard was a very welcome guest to our home.  The kids were so excited to see the massive amounts of snow that had fallen and even more excited to get outside and play. We had 24.5 inches of snow when Nemo was done and the kids love every single inch.  It is a snowstorm that every child should have the…
