I'm living my dream life, spending my days with my three sweet kids on the rocky coast of Maine...


boy2001 is a loveable 2nd grade LEGO brick master. An average week includes a round of golf, some time at the track with a smidgeon of Nintendo DS time.

girl2004 is a Care Bears enthusiast when she's not twirling to imaginary ballet, she's gleefully giggling to pink princess daydreams or requesting baking sessions.


girl2006 is an Elmo and Little People Fanatic, she insists on wearing tights and dresses everyday, as well as reading our 'I Love You' books everyday. She shares my love for Little House on the Prairie.


My personal goals are to go back to school for my Masters, possibly in Library Studies or Biblical Languages.


Smokey is our playful pup, half chihuahua, half rat terrier he's a handsome dog, although very good with the children Smokey does have his issues!


Chexter is our roborovski hamster, over a year old he's recently started to nip a little!

Monopoly Man Brings Out True Nature

November 17, 2011

We’ve been playing a LOT of board games around here lately. One of our family favorites is MONOPOLY by Hasbro.  Growing up as an only child I didn’t get a lot of chances to play board games so I’m enjoying (mostly) the chance to learn the rules and play “the right way”.  We purchased the cheapest set at Walmart for under $10 and it’s been some of the best money I’ve spent on my kids, especially boy2001.

I’ve seen so much of his business saavy and “it’s only business” attitude.  When he was younger he told me he was going to be like Mr. Howell (Gilligan’s Isand remember?)  and now I totally believe it!  He doesn’t always win but he’s very focused on getting a good deal and analyzing if it makes sense to keep cash or buy properties.  We’ve made a few variation but for the most part we’re trying to stick to the rules provided which are simple to follow or reference if you’re not sure.

If the game is too long  just keep some napkins or paper handy!  wrap up each players MONOPOLY cash and property and note which space the player is on.  Also take note of whose turn it is and any houses/hotels and pick up where you left off next time.
