We did our best to make as many trips this Summer Break as possible, sadly we didn’t make it to our normal spot at York Beach in Maine, but we did venture to the Atlantic Ocean via a State Park in Rye, NH before summer was over. Today, I wanted to take a moment to share with you our trip to the Montshire Museum of Science located in Norwich, VT because that was our final Summer Break trip. We got to meet A T-Rex Named Sue and learn how frogs see us, as well as how dinosaurs saw their world back in the day. It was a fun, learning experience for us all. I have never seen a dinosaur this close up, actually I have never seen a dinosaur in …

I Won’t Let Them Suffer for Any of my Insecurities #motherhood
It was that time of day, my 9am to 11am shift at Moms.com was over, it was a sunny, warm Thursday morning and the boys had been so patient, entertaining themselves while I worked for two hours within the same room as them. I knew I had to do something, but we have been to the family pool nearly every day this Summer, I didn’t want to pack up and drive over to Vermont, I wanted something different today. The boys deserved to go out and have fun, because four week days this Summer they will have to endure me working 9am to 11am, they deserve to have the remainder of the day all about them. I work from home to make memories, so what kind of memories could be …
Taking a Hike up Mt Kearsarge at Rollins State Park in Warner, NH
The family had a last minute idea to take a hike, the wind was blowing keeping the hot temperatures from totally killing us and so we thought it was ideal weather for a hike. The question was, where would we go? We didn’t want to go to Mt Ascutney in Vermont for we hiked that when Aj was a baby, we thought about the tall trees in Bradford, NH but again we’ve seen them 100 times already. Since we wanted somewhere different that wasn’t too expensive, we decided upon Mt Kearsarge. I have never gone to this mountain and there’s a state park in Warner, NH called Rollins State Park that is relatively low cost plus we get to support NH state parks by going this route up the mountain. …
A Child’s Life is Too Precious to Take a Chance
I am working with Swimways this Summer and it excites me because they really do work to reach out and help allow kids freedom to learn to swim safely. Using SwimWays products this year, my three year old son has already ventured to swim across the shallow end of the inground pool at my family farm. One topic that is coming up lately is the topic of parents or caregivers leaving the kids to swim alone, in small or large amounts of water this is not a good idea. No matter the level of swimming ability your child has this is not a good idea. I firmly believe there should always be one trusted adult, or more, left to swim with or watch children playing in a pool or a …
