I hope you had a wonderful Easter. The weather was perfect for egg-hunting and the food was aplenty for our family brunch. This year was extra special with the joy Jackson & Sidney got out of finding eggs filled with coins or chocolate. Sidney has had her fill of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for the [...]

Thankful Thursday

March 14, 2013 9 Comments

This week started out rough. It’s been one of those weeks where I feel like getting in pajamas, pulling down the shades and getting in bed for the entire day. I used to be able to do that years ago, but now I have 3 people that depend on me. I throw myself out of [...]

Moms & Help

March 4, 2013 13 Comments

There is something special about Moms. They know how to make everything better and save the day. Even though my Mom lives in Florida while I am in Rhode Island, she can still manage to fix things when they need a Mom’s touch. Like my house. I got so far behind laundry and organizing that [...]

I’m *slightly* ahead of the game and am writing this week’s Thankful Thursday post at 10:30pm on Wednesday night. I would feel really good about not having to scramble in the morning to get my post up if my kids weren’t running around the living room like it was 10 am. This is going to hurt [...]

Blogging Balancing Act

February 19, 2013 7 Comments

The weird thing about blogging is that it is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because I’ve met some of my dearest friends via my blog but is also a curse. It’s a curse because I’m always balancing on a thin tight rope of “is this going to offend someone I care about” [...]

Now that we are a family of four with two toddlers, we are always looking for family friendly activities to do together. We’ve visited local children’s museums, aquariums and zoos but there is something extra-special about seeing shows that come on tour. This year we have been lucky enough to attend Disney on Ice, Yo [...]

Making Dad’s Birthday Special: for $10 or less

February 6, 2013 12 Comments

Birthdays are a big deal in my husband’s family. Everyone calls with birthday wishes and Happy Birthday is sung before the Polish song, Sto lat. I love that they have so many traditions that make every birthday special and I would like to have some of our own traditions. We started one for my husband’s [...]

One of the conditions my husband set when we built our home was that he *HAD* to have a finished basement to house his man-cave. I was fine with that because I envisioned the other half two-thirds of the basement as a playroom for the kids. The basement has been wonderful for our family, however [...]

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday! This week I am celebrating my 8th year in Rhode Island. It seems like yesterday that I left palm trees and sun to step off the plane in a winter wonderland. I’ll have to write about my journey to life in New England another day, because today is dedicated to gratitude. I’m grateful [...]
