Foster Parent, Mom Life, Review

Princess Plate…

April 18, 2018April 20, 2018 / beachchairtracy / Leave a comment

I always said I would be the kind of mom where you put dinner out and they eat it or go hungry.  Enter in a foster kid who was grossly underweight and has a strong personality.  Even the best intentions go out the window! I have a picky eater. I mean REALLY picky eater.  I found a magical plate that …

Be sure to smell the flowers…

April 16, 2018April 21, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 11 Comments

This is a joyful reminder to smell the flowers. This picture was taken of our Little Girl when she was in PreK. This is how she lives life. She holds nothing back. So in these crazy, full throttle days…take time to smell the flowers!

Things not to say…

April 13, 2018April 19, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 18 Comments

Ok, the title should really be “Things not to Say to an Adoptive Mom.” After a 3 1/2 year journey my husband and I were able to adopt our little girl out of the foster care system. These are some actually questions I have fielded. 1. You are so lucky you did not have to go through labor. Ok, let …

pre-TWEEN

April 7, 2018April 16, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 21 Comments

According to the Urban Dictionary a tween is a girl ages about 9-14…too old for toys, but too young for boys. Very easy to market to, will usually follow any fashion trend set for them, will most likely go through the phase of ‘finding themselves’ as they ‘grow up’. 1. Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen’s main fanbase are all tweens. 2. tween 1: …

Solo child…

April 4, 2018April 11, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 6 Comments

I overheard a conversation with Little Girl and her friend. Her friend told her she was an only child.  Little Girl was adamant that she was not.   They went back and forth and then I set the record straight.  She is not an only child.  She has biological siblings.  We adopted Little Girl a few weeks ago and she has lived with …

Egg Hunt at Kimball Jenkins Estate

April 2, 2018April 11, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 16 Comments

  This year is the first year we did an Easter egg hunt. I usually shy away from these sort of things as they bring out the “selfish” in people. However, I heard of a hunt at the Kimball Jenkins Estate. I decided it would be fun to give it a try. The Kimball Jenkins Estate is a lovely piece …

Playing with the boys…

March 29, 2018April 4, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 15 Comments

Today is one of those days. The kind of day where you roll down the windows. Spring is in the air. The ground smells warm. The snow is only in spots…ahhhh! Just for a moment, I had a high school flashback.  Instead of driving the mom van with a car seat in the back,  I was in my 1982 Honda Civic …

Tight is not sexy

March 21, 2018March 28, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 18 Comments

Why do we need to be sexy anyway? Sexy is a label given to us by “society.” I would rather be beautiful…but that is a post for another time! I was driving to work this morning and  I saw a young lady walking like she had Barbie legs….you know the ones I mean.   From the 50’s.  The old kind that …

Syrup boil off…

March 18, 2018April 7, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 19 Comments

I am blessed to have a group of friends whom I have known for over 20 years.  We call ourselves the Crew.  We are scattered throughout New England but make it a point to connect a few times a year.  One of these times is the annual boil off.  It is hosted by A and H.  They do all the …

Asking a 7 year old to pack…

March 13, 2018April 3, 2018 / beachchairtracy / 32 Comments

Once a year we make the annual pilgrimage to the state below ours to get our taxes done. Our accountant lives there and she does an amazing job so it is worth the trip. We make a night of it and stay in a hotel. Well, I asked Little Girl to pack her own bag. Now…keep in mind I am …
