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!

1 ring circus

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 of popcorn…

Can’t [...]

KINeSYS Sunscreen spray w/SPF 30

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 [...]

Chinatown Boston

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 [...]

Thomas Live: A Circus Comes to Town Tour

The kids and I were in Boston two weeks ago to see Thomas live on stage!  I’ll admit the thought of driving almost two hours on my own with the kids to the big city was scary but everything went amazingly well despite the cold clammy weather. 

The show was at the Wang Theater in China [...]

Disney World 2009

I’ve been terribly busy and overwhelmed (as usual).  The good news I’ll soon have lots of extra time on my hands to review the wonderful skincare and makeup I’ve been using lately!  I quit a little job that consumed  a lot of my time and will be able to stay up late again after the [...]

The Greatest Post on Earth

Every mom I know looks around her home some days and thinks of a three ring circus.  The daring stunts, costumes and animal tricks are just part of it. 

Still, with all of that, the actual circus is a MUST do event for most families and when i think of the circus, I think of Ringling [...]

WonderFall Vacation at the Beaches

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 [...]

Maine Sea Glass Atlantic Ocean, Beach Glass

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 [...]

Bowdoin College, Walker Art Museum and Peary MacMillan Arctic Museum

These are pictures from when we visited the Peary Arctic Museum and walked around Bowdoin College Campus. The picture of the building is The Walker Art Museum. I HIGHLY recommend both of these museums is you have kids as they are small but chock full of good info.

The Peary Arctic Museum [...]

Children of the Corn – Family Field Trip #Corny #1

A few weeks ago we visited a Corn Maze. The kids had a great time getting lost in the stalks. We took a long hayride and marveled at all the hay rolls. It was just a wee bit creepy with visions of Malechai and all, the only thing I know about corn [...]
