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
Why do we need to be sexy anyway? Sexy is a label given to us by “society.” Personally, 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 …
Syrup boil off…
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…
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 …
Wedding gifts from the heart…
Snow is melting. People are shedding sweaters. Spring is in the air. You know what that means…WEDDING SEASON! Many people will register and that is great.

Unicorn Cake Decorations
Do you have a little girl that loves unicorns? I have one and I do enjoy shopping for Unicorn Gifts for her. We have her gotcha party (a celebration of her adoption date) coming up in the spring and she wanted a unicorn theme. Including a unicorn cake. I can bake a great cake….decorating on the other hand…not so good. …
The day we broke the camp nurse…
I spent many years running the waterfront at a summer camp in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Camp is camp. Kids are active. Kids are busy. Things happen. For such as those times we always had a camp nurse on staff. Nurses would usually come for a week or two at a time. Most often they would be there …
Bean Stalk Adventure Ropes Course

Stage Fort Park
Here we are on term vacation and it is a sunny 58 degrees in February! This should be skiing weather but instead we hit the lovely town North of Boston called Gloucester! A short 90 minute trip from our house. My husband and I used to live in this small town just after we were married. I love to go …
