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.

boy 2001


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!

Obama’s Historic Journey

Like much of the country, we were watching a lot of news coverage at the time and I [...]

Dudley’s Solo

Feeling left out is not a good feeling.  Being part of a group can really help kids’ self esteem, so when they are not included it really hurts.  Adults often feel they need to provide the solution to the problem but Dudley’s Solo makes it clear that kids can come up with their own great ideas.

I love [...]

Sikulu and Harambe Book Review

The story of the good Samaritan is a family favorite so I knew I was going to enjoy this African twist!  I didn’t mention anything before I sat down to read Sikulu & Harambe to the girls, I LOVE when they get things themselves.  Boy 2001 was in the room playing with legos and when [...]

Kids pick up on that when you [...]
