A Day On The Connecticut River, Massachusetts!

Here in New England we had a TON of rain this spring and early summer which cause the Connecticut River, Massachusetts to flood and become unstable. There was no boating allowed. Between that and a crazy schedule we FINALLY got out on the boat this past weekend. Sawyer thought he was going to get to drive. Here are some fun pictures I took that day! … [Read more...]

Tiny Love Rocker Napper Review & On the Go My Nature Pals Stroll Toy Bar {Giveaway}

My sweet Halli has reflux.  Wicked reflux.  Not the kind where she spits up a bunch, in fact, she rarely spits up.  She has the kind where I hear it come up and she tries hard to swallow it back down.  After that there is usually coughing, hiccups, back arching, crying or a combo of them.  It’s awful and so sad.  The reflux is MUCH better compared to when she was a tiny newborn, and we have it … [Read more...]

Merci Assortment of European Chocolates

I really love chocolate.  I really, really love chocolate after a long day.  You know the days... mountains of laundry done, you've ran a ton of errands, put together dinner, kids fed, bathed and in bed.  Now it's you time.  Sometimes all day I just think about making it to the end of the day so I can have a little treat.  I earned it!  There is just something really special about really good … [Read more...]

I Finally Tried Shelf Safe Milk! #MilkUnleashed

Shelf Safe Milk. All my life I've thought those words shouldn't go together. The idea of leaving milk out of the fridge is gross to me. The idea of buying it off the shelf is just unheard of. Have you tried shelf safe milk before? I recently went looking for it in my local grocery store and was rather surprised at just how many brands and flavors there were! In the end I went with Horizon because … [Read more...]

{Wordless Wednesday} 1st Skirt

I'm finally looking at clothing again. I'm trying not to invest in too much but after feeling like I had nothing to wear to a wedding shower last weekend I knew it was time to find some pieces I could wear dressed up or casually. After the shower Gavin had a birthday party and none of the parents stuck around so I took it as an opportunity to head over to TJ Maxx that was just down the road. … [Read more...]

Huffy Deluxe 26″ Ladies’ Bike Review

Some of my favorite memories as a kid are when I was on my bike.  It was exhilarating to pedal as fast as I could on my hot pink, glittery barbie bike.  The neon handle bar tassels blowing behind me and my wheels clicking from the beads sliding on my tire spokes.  I loved that bike, my only wish to make it extra awesome was for it to have a basket.  That bike was a-mazing.  I haven't been on a … [Read more...]

Keeping my family healthy!

2013 has been a big year for me. It's been a lot about change. Changing the way I feel, changing the way I look, and changing my every day lifestyle is. This has been a trickling effect for me and I have been changing many things we normally do and eat for better options. While exercise is an obvious way to keep your family healthy there is so much more to the picture. Some other things you should … [Read more...]

Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins Recipe

I made these Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins right after the last time we went blueberry picking. They were amazing. Like I ate 4 of them because I couldn't say no! They were SO good and you bet I did an extra 5 miles that day. I shared this photo on my Instagram and you guys were already asking for the recipe. I'm going to try to grab 5 more pounds of blueberries this week and plan on making … [Read more...]

My baby is 4 months now.  4 months people!  I didn't realize how quickly time went by until I had kids.  It is sad having babies grow up, but it is also fun and exciting.  New milestones, new skills learned, and I love watching my kids grow into their personalities.  Halli has a strong and determined little personality.  She likes to be involved with whatever is going on and thinks she is much … [Read more...]
