April 23, 2013

When it comes to “motherhood”, certainly some days are just harder than others. But I think the thing that is the toughest part of motherhood for me is that your work is never done. No matter how much you accomplish in any given day, no matter how many school lunches you have made, no matter [...]

Fearless! {Share Your Life}

April 16, 2013

When it comes to sports and activities, I encourage my kids to branch out and try new things. But I have to admit I was a bit surprised when my daughter Lili said that she wanted to quit gymnastics and try diving lessons instead. Last summer at the town pool, she wasn’t allowed to go [...]

In February, for “Valentine’s weekend”, we celebrate by tapping our maple trees throughout our yard and in the woods behind our house, so that we can collect sap to make homemade maple syrup.

Have you ever used “inappropriate language” in front of the kids? {Share Your Life}

March 12, 2013

Our movie choice this past month was “Somewhere Between” [...]
