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!

Disney World 2009

April 20, 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 kids are in bed without worry…  I don’t even have a roomie to complain about the lights or the product spills all over the bed.

I’ve also been desperately trying to book our vacay to Disney World but I must mention that the Disney World booking site is HORRIBLE!  it’s surprising how bad it is, I really can’t get over it but I’m still trudging through to take advantage of the free dining plan offer.  Speaking of the trip, if anyone wants to sponsor a blogger trip for summer 2009 the cost would be $4000 for ten days @ Disney for my family and I.  We’re also available all summer for anything else!

I know that’s a longshot so I’ll be holding many garage sales and ebay-ing a few hundred things!  here’s a sneak preview… start saving up if you want my stuff.  I’m thinking of making the more expensive ones private auction for those of you that prefer to keep purchases private feel free to chime in on your thoughts on that.

Some things I’ll be letting go of:

  • Emilio Pucci book by Shirley Kennedy $450
  • Emilio Pucci press clippings, slips, scarves, ephemera, etc…
  • Hermes orange ribbon scarf limited edition 1990′s  $300
  • Jimmy Carter 7 book set (sealed) by the Easton Press $900
  • Vintage (50′s?) Lanvin slip $400
  • Countless first edition books from my personal collection
  • some sea glass picked by us from the Maine coast (I’ll give up lots of brown and white frosty)
  • new Barefoot Books in lots
  • Jerusalem Bible illustrated by Salvador Dali $200
  • Psychos in Love on DVD signed and numbered by Gorman $100

…and much more!  Another reason I’m thinking of letting go of things is to fit into another current obsession… the Tumbleweed Houses by Jay Shafer.  They are soooo cute.  I would love the Harbinger 297 sq ft model for us right now and a Weebee (102 sq ft) for each child eventually.  It would be great to live more with less…

Interesting in being a sponsor?  Sponsors big and small welcome! Contact me for the many ways we can get together.

are we there yet?

I cannot wait!  we’ll be going on a road trip to Disney next month.  It’s gonna be so much fun, right?!

yeah, we’re gonna show our tots the country, or at least the view from the highway.  We’re going to stop and see grandma in North Carolina along the way and then it’s 7 nights at the Pop Resort.  I’m really hoping it’s gonna be fun to see the kids’ faces light up when we go to the Magic Kingdom.

We went with the dining plan, I hope that was the right decision, now I just have to see about how to get reservations for all the breakfasts.  I found some really good sites so far.

Horton Hears a Who!

March 26, 2008

Dr. Seuss Horton Hears a

We saw Horton Hears a Who last weekend, we loved it.  I must admit I’m not a fan of Dr. Seuss books but after 7 plus years reading them they are growing on me.  I’m not sure what it is but I’m not crazy about all the rhyming and nonsensical words – I know that’s the point of Dr Seuss!

Horton Hears a Who! has some dry spots (don’t all these animated movies?) but overall it was great family fun.  FYI none of the kids have talked about this movie, usually they are bugging me by now to re-watch movies we go see.  I love the message, a person’s a person no matter how small.
