We all go through growing pains at different stages of life and this summer has been one of those stages . . . . for Chris and me as parents. Emma finishes up her acting camp this week. We were excited for her to have this opportunity as she’d perform in the play at the [...]

We made our annual early morning trek out to see the Hot Air Balloon Festival on Saturday. The kids were actually excited this year to get up at 4:30 a.m. and we were out the door in no time. [mygal=balloon_morning] When we pulled into the parking area the dew was still on the ground and [...]

Today is my mom’s 60th birthday. We surprised her a little early by ‘mom-napping’ her for the weekend and we had a blast! My sister-in-law, Danielle (along with my brother, Will), and sister, Martha, took Mom out to dinner for her birthday on Friday. The original plan was for the rest of us coming into [...]

I am not a fan of messes, but I am a fan of teaching kids to do things on their own. These don’t always go hand in hand. For instance, I love that my kids can cook some of their lunches and breakfasts on their own, but I don’t always love the mess they leave [...]

This month has been a season of goodbyes with so many friends moving away from our little area of New Jersey. It really has left me feeling a little melancholy. I don’t like having to say goodbyes and being left behind. As a military brat and even in our marriage, we are usually the ones [...]

I’m no photographer but I like taking pictures. I also think it’s fun to play around with pictures to make them better. Yesterday we found some water balloons in the dollar section of Target so of course, I had the camera out to capture some moments. None of the pictures came out very well but [...]

I have often wondered how you know what your kids’ talents are and how to help them excel. What if they missed out on a talent because as a parent I didn’t introduce it to them? When your oldest is young you want to introduce them to everything to see what they really grab onto. [...]
