If you spend any amount of time with me, one of the sure things you’ll notice, especially if we are dining together, is my hands. No, they are not fabulous or the hands of a model.  They shake. Almost constantly. It’s something that I’m guessing I’ve always had but it gets worse with every passing [...]

Congrats Mary B.! You are the winner of the Organizing Utility Tote! I love bags.  Not necessarily purses, although those are fun too (I typically carry a diaper bag these days in lieu of a purse). I’m talking about bags, bins, organizational boxes, totes, etc. I could spend a lot of money in that area. [...]

We are a camping family. And by camping, I don’t mean tents and boiling your drinking water and digging your own toilets. While I may have done that in my pre-children days, those things have no place in my current state. We do camping with a camper and running water and toilets and showers and [...]

It’s Monday and I’m plugging back in after a week of being on vacation and offline, for the most part. I hadn’t intended on unplugging and not posting for the week. It just happened. And it was kind of awesome. Instead of posting about what was going on, I was living it.  I was discovering [...]

Fittingly enough, I’m writing this post as we recover from our vacation to the Columbus Zoo. Why is it that vacations tend to leave us more exhausted than pre-vacation? I’ll be sharing more about our exhausting vacation and trip to the Columbus Zoo later this week.  For now, I want to give you some fun [...]

We’ve definitely had our fair share of rainy weather already this Summer, which has resulted in us coming up with some creative Indoor Summer Play!

I love animals. I find the absolutely fascinating! I often wonder why I didn’t pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine, but, alas, I didn’t. So I’ll just day dream! My husband laughs because he knows that our trips to the zoo are 5% for the kids and 100% for me! That’s why, when given the [...]

If you’re a family that thrives on a schedule, then you’re probably starting to panic a little with the looming un-scheduled Summer ahead of you. Well, panic no more! There are a ton of weekly activities happening throughout the Summer and most are FREE! Here’s a list of some weekly Summer activities happening right here [...]

It’s no secret. I really don’t enjoy sitting in doctor offices. I don’t enjoy even dealing with 90% of the medical community. But, when you’ve got kids, it’s inevitable. And it seems that, lately, we’ve been in and out of doctor appointments, getting all of our back-to-school check-ups taken care of. Here are a few [...]
