We love to take road trips when autumn arrives! Most of the time the trips are day trips either to Cape Cod, NH or VT. We pack the girls in the car, stroller in the back, books and toys in between the kiddos and we are off. About 15 minutes into any trip, if the [...]

Road Trip – Healthy Snacking!
September 6, 2012Friday Favorite – Super Charlotte!
August 24, 2012Someday I feel all I need is a cape and I could be “super mama”!!! Charlotte received a cape for her second birthday from her buddy, Max!

Friday Favorites – Beaba Babycook
February 17, 2012I was lucky enough to get the Beaba Babycook food maker as a gift from John’s friend when Charlotte was a baby. I loved making my own baby food for Charlotte and I’m using it again to make food for Lillian. Tonight I took homemade chicken noodle soup we had for dinner and pureed it [...]
Cranberry Muffins
February 13, 2012I just realized that it has been a while since I blogged about cranberries! The little fruit is a big deal in my house and I promise to give it more attention on the blog in the coming months. With valentine’s day right around the corner (tomorrow!) I’m trying to incorporate the colors red and [...]
A New Year
January 2, 2012Christmas is over, we have celebrated the new year and today I gathered the energy to take down the decorations and the tree. There is a certain sadness that hangs in the air like early morning fog across the cranberry bogs when I take down the decorations. I always feel a little depressed when the [...]
Live and love the mess

Clean laundry thrown into piles needing to be sorted, folded, and put away. I have a full fridge but not a clue what I’m [...]
Green living with toddlers
September 14, 2011I stumbled across a past issue of Natural Life and reread the article Living Green with Toddlers this morning over coffee. It was great to be inspired about green living options with my girls! We try daily to reduce, reuse and recycle (the 3 “R”s) and always welcome new ways to live more sustainably. When [...]
Simple summer meal straight from the garden
August 26, 2011Two nights ago I cooked a great and easy summer meal using most of the ingredients from our garden and the farmer’s market. I used the tomatoes and basil from our garden and the garlic and onions from a local south shore garden – Weir farm. You’ll need: small cherries tomatoes, Basil (about a hand [...]
Pee Pee and other household annoyances
June 15, 2011Caroline has decided she would like to potty train two weeks before her little brother is expected in town. As much as I’m thrilled that she’s interested in the whole potty concept, I’m not exactly ready! Not only am I tired and having to use the potty every 5 minutes myself, I’m finding more and [...]
New twist on Burgers!
June 12, 2011Last night, John and I spent some quiet time reading. He was engrossed in his book and I choose to spend my time flipping the pages of Real Simple magazine (one of my Mother’s Day presents from John and Charlotte). I came across a great article all about Burgers and thought how fitting a topic [...]
