This past weekend was nearly perfect, especially Saturday. I had registered for a 5k road race (my first in over a year) that was an hour from home, which meant waking up the entire family much earlier than normal for a Saturday morning. The sky was gorgeously blue and the sun was beautiful and warm, […]

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love all things Disney. From the first time we ever watched The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh nearly 17 years ago with Cody, to taking several family vacations to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disney brings my entire family joy on many levels.

My Nana often says to me, Cathy, you can’t choose your relatives. As a matter of fact, it has been uttered during many of our phone conversations and sometimes I’m even the one who says it every now and then. While it is often stated with a chuckle, there is certainly truth behind it. The […]

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 […]

I recently shared our family’s experience when we attended a local show of the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). Clearly the boys and man in my family are huge fans of professional wrestling. Getting to attend a live event is super special for them since it doesn’t happen where we live very often, but they definitely […]
A hike and a realization – a pretty perfect day

We’ve recently found ourselves with a lot more time to spend together as a family, especially on the weekends. While the reason for this has caused a great deal of stress, I also realize we have to take advantage of it and enjoy every chance we can to spend time together. The tricky part is […]
