This morning while making and packing lunches for Cody and Nick I remembered a conversation I recently had with my friend, Kelly on Twitter. We’re friends because we bonded over pairing wine and popcorn. Also though, she created a great product for lunchboxes and you should totally be using them. They’re durable, BPA-free, and have […]
What’s your blood pressure?
September 20, 2012 · by · 6 Comments
I always had perfect blood pressure. Even during my two pregnancies when I gained a rather healthy amount of baby weight, it was always perfect. I can still remember the nurse commenting about it after all these years. When I say perfect, I mean like 112/78 because that was my blood pressure back in April […]
Dog Years
September 6, 2012 · by · 13 Comments
I realize that I don’t really talk about my pets much online. We’ve had a few as a family, from cats to mice(ewww), to fish and dogs, but there’s one who’s been with us longer than any other and that’s our dog, Jenna. She’s been a part of our family since 1996, just before Cody’s […]

Every time I hear of a new movie from Disney I get excited. I mean, it’s Disney and we love all things Disney in our house. Cody’s very first movie as a little guy was The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on VHS. I can still remember snuggling up with him and watching it […]
I have another high school student

Most nights during summer vacation Nick played video games late into the evening and slept until at least noon on the days that followed. For the last week I’ve been gently reminding him that 6:30 would come very early on the first day of school so he really should needed to lessen his game play […]
Riding in the car with my teenager
August 29, 2012 · by · 2 Comments
One of my very favorite things to do is have time alone with Nick. It doesn’t happen very often, so when it does I make every effort to enjoy every minute. Last week I needed to get some shopping done, which included new school clothes for both Cody and Nick. Cody despises shopping, which makes […]
Fun with Mangos {Recipe included} – Let’s Mango!
August 27, 2012 · by ·
When it comes to fruits and vegetables I can truly say that there aren’t really any that I would turn away. There might be some that I don’t eat or buy as often as others, but for the most part if it’s in the kitchen or refrigerator my family will gobble it up, as long […]
WWE to Debut show for kids
August 23, 2012 · by · Leave a Comment
I’ve mentioned a time or two that I have a few huge WWE Wrestling fans in my family. They watch everything from Monday Night Raw to pay-per-views, they read WWE Magazine, and in between all of that they keep updated online with all news concerning their favorite Superstars. That certainly sounds like a fair amount […]
I won’t go to Funtown Splashtown USA without a cooler ever again
August 20, 2012 · by · Leave a Comment
For the last several years we’ve made an annual trip to Funtown Splashtown USA, a family amusement park in the southern part of our state. It’s a solid two-hour drive in each direction and we are at the mercy of Paul’s demanding work schedule and the weather when trying to plan the trip during Maine’s […]
