When the waves call… Mom…the waves are perfect for body surfing. I need my boogie board! This is what childhood should be! This child has saltwater in her veins. Love my little mermaid!
Small town parade…
Small Town Parade… Just like a good country song! There is nothing like living in a New England small town on the Fourth of July. Small towns may be small but they make up for it in big ways. Just like this small town parade to celebrate the 4th of July! Little Girl and I helped my mom and her …
She has your eyes…
She has your eyes… I was at a friends birthday party this past weekend. It was in another state at a lovely, local eatery. I sat at the end of a long table next to my husband. I was chatting with two sisters. One next to me and the other across from me. We were making small talk and the …
Middle of the night run…
Well…we tried. We tried and failed. A phone call at 1:02 am made that abundantly clear. What was this epic fail I speak of? Little Girls first sleepover. Starting from the moment she woke up. “What time is L coming?” “How many more hours until L comes?” All day. Overnight bag packed. Sleeping bag rolled up. Both sitting by the …
A weekend away…
My husband and I had a wedding to go to on Friday. We decided to make a minimoon out of it. A nice hotel for the whole weekend. My good friend Karen took Little Girl for us. In my mind, this is what I was expecting… via GIPHY via GIPHY via GIPHY But in reality… via GIPHY Let’s face it. …
No mean for Halloween…
No mean for Halloween…that is pretty much our motto. We found some family-friendly activities to make our Halloween fun for our butterfly! First stop, Trunk or Treat with the Hopkinton Parks and Rec. I have never been to one and was really surprised at the trunk decorations. One car had a life the flap where you had to put your …
A Rough Weekend…
I am so thankful for insurance. I know. That is a strange way to start a blog post. But I have never had to think about it before. What seemed like a normal weekend coming was interrupted on Friday morning when Little Girl woke Daddy and me up in tears. She said she did not feel well and was wobbly …
Corn maze, the stuff of nightmares…
I was at Beech Hill Farm in Contoocook (Con-took-cook) NH with Little Girl and my niece. We decided to try our hand at the corn maze. Not sure what a corn maze is? Below is a picture of one from Beech Hill. It is a path or maze that winds you through a cornfield. The corn stalks are over your …
First picture
Today was a big day in our household. Little Girl started second grade today! For the first time, I was able to post her” back to school picture.” You see Little Girl was a foster kid up until last February. We had the privilege of adopting her. Kids who are in foster care cannot have their pictures posted on any …
Jet Skiing!
In true crazy format, my sister calls this morning and says “Hey, want to go rent some jet skis and run around the lake?” To which I respond “duh.” I love riding jet skis and I’ve been trying to persuade my family to buy some so we can have fun on the water. But, unfortunately, we don’t have one yet …
