Out in Public
When my husband and I began working new shifts I wasn't exactly running towards the door with kids in tow all the time to do things on my own. It sounded like a lot of work and frankly, I wasn't going to be the mom toting three wild things, a diaper bag, and my own … Continue reading Out in Public
Backyard Coffee
Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone! A nearly empty coffee mug, stormy skies and three little boys covered head to toe in dirt. That is my day so far. With the boys playing so loud inside the house, it seemed like a good idea to get them out for a bit of fresh air. … Continue reading Backyard Coffee
Happy Fourth!
Our little town blasts off fireworks every third of July, so we've already enjoyed our big bangs. Last night we wheeled the wagon down to the end of the pier and watched them launch firework after firework. The littles had mixed reactions this year. Baby M, our big boy, watched in amazement with a huge … Continue reading Happy Fourth!

I was optimistic about my new lifestyle and even the dietary restrictions that went along with it. So, … Continue reading Black Bean Burgers
We Started Soccer
It has officially been two weeks since our four year old started playing soccer. I was going to post about it last week but I wanted to see how things developed first. For starters, it's the first time that all of us are actually in the same place for an extended period of time. By … Continue reading We Started Soccer
The Carousel Park
Finding free or cheap things to do for fun is always an excellent thing and nearby our house we have a park that takes the cake. I'm not certain where else you can find a Carousel Park like the one we visit. The rides are made for children ages 2-6 (roughly). Instead of your basic "must be … Continue reading The Carousel Park
Family Nature Hike
So far I have crossed a few different things off of my Summer Bucket List and over the weekend it was the hike along the local nature trail. We packed snacks, cold drinks and some candy to munch on then added some additional necessities like sunscreen, diapers, wipes, bug bands and a first aid kit. Our toddler is … Continue reading Family Nature Hike
