My Friend Heather

April 21, 2013 3 Comments

The first time I met Heather (aka Housewife Heather) is a memory that always makes me laugh. It was spring of 2010 and I joined my friend Beth Ann and her friend (Heather) for a walk along the bike path where Beth lived. Jackson was about 6 months old and I was still out of [...]

Thankful Thursday

March 28, 2013 12 Comments

It’s funny how some weeks start out rough. Mondays feel like, well, Mondays. Then by Thursday things can look much more “up.” This week has been a wonderful reminder that people are good. Here is my list for this week: Girlfriends that are always up for a Rhody Mamas play date at Biomes Marine Biology [...]

Sorry I’ve been missing, but I’m here. Exhausted and fighting a cold but here. Last weekend was a tough one emotionally. One of my dearest friends (who lost her husband last August) moved back to Florida. She’s been living with family in Seattle & Florida for the past 7 months, but packing up her house [...]

Thankful Thursday

March 7, 2013 14 Comments

Good morning! Has this week flown by for you like it has me? Before children, it felt like forever to get to the end of a work week. After children, I swear I just blink and the week is over. Maybe it’s just because I want to pause my life right now and savor every [...]

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” [...]

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 [...]

We got our sillies out at YO GABBA GABBA LIVE!

yo gabba gabba

Jackson is still dancing, 4 hours after the show ended. We saw Yo Gabba Gabba Live in Boston at the Orpheum Theater today and simply put: had a BLAST. As soon as the kids saw DJ Lance Rock come on stage, they were dancing in the aisles (or in Sidney’s case, in my lap). We [...]

Learning Tower Playhouse Kit

January 22, 2013 26 Comments

When Jackson was about Sidney’s age, we purchased a Learning Tower by Little Partners. I first learned about the Learning Tower while taking a New Mom’s Group class at a local baby store, Bellani Maternity. In case you’ve never experienced a Learning Tower in person, I’ll give you the quick definition: it’s a “safety stool” [...]

Loving my Windows Phone 8X by HTC #Troop8X #HTC8

January 20, 2013 9 Comments

I mentioned to you all on Thursday about the new phone I am pumped to be reviewing: the Windows Phone 8X by HTC. I am a technology GEEK and proud of it. When some wives ask for jewelry or handbags, I’ve always loved for gifts from my husband to be of the electronic variety: phones, [...]
