Some of the advantages of small town living are the smaller events and opportunities that kids get to partake in… Last week, we attended a one ring circus and there weren’t even 200 people there.  We sat in the front row, paid $2/each for face painting and enjoyed a no-pressure small scaled circus.  Little boxes [...]

KINeSYS Sunscreen Spray with SPF 30 has been getting some real use in our home this spring.  Playground birthday parties, walking trail meetups and the regular family bike rides, sports and dog walks call for extra help in the sunscreen department. It is so hard to get used to applying sunscreen.  It’s not something I [...]

The day we went to see Thomas Live on Stage, we stopped to eat the Gourmet Dumpling House.  At first the kids were surprised by the different look and taste but eventually they all LOVED the food.  Always nice to get them out of their rut… as you may be able to tell, boy2001 was [...]

Once upon a time, a man and a lady spent lots of time away from home.  Beach trips, site seeing and club hopping topped the list.  Every few months they went on a new adventure to a distant land.  After 6 years of marriage boy2001 joined the family and the vacations turned into memories.  There were [...]

I love collecting sea glass!  It’s so much fun and good exercise too! we just came back from another stroll on the beach.  We came home early because it was just too hot!  so here I am sending out these little pics of some of my favorite sea glass pieces.  If you want to see [...]
