On the last day of school my nine year old son literally ran out of the school doors yelling 'FREEDOM!!!!' at the top of his lungs! The next day he showed up at my side looking bored, yes, my little social butterfly was ready to return to the classroom already! I'll never forget the look on his face when I told him he had two months to go! lol So what's a mom to do. I like to keep the boys fairly unscheduled during the summer days, because they are busy during the school year and play … [Read more...]

We are a family of beach bums, all five of us could just spend hours reading, playing and relaxing on the beach. The kids love to get in the water and swim, but to be honest, I'm more of a land lover, that warm sand is far more appealing to me than the cold water. It's mostly for this reason that I try to avoid sunscreen as much as possible. I know, I know, sunscreen is important, and I always smother the boys in it, but there's nothing I hate more than getting all greasy and having the sand … [Read more...]

My family loves a good road trip! Last year we drove to Pennsylvania to make friends with Elmo at Sesame Place and this spring we set out on a 25 hour drive to Florida! My kids always amaze us with how great they are for long drives, so we have no fear of loading the van and taking to the road, in fact, a two hour flight would make me more nervous! Every time we come home from one of our adventures we quickly grab the map to look for our next great road trip, and I was pleasantly surprised to … [Read more...]
