Kids have a natural curiosity about words and ideas and things that begs to be satisfied… TOYS & GAMES are no exceptions.  This is why JULY will be TOY STORIES month on 365 Days of Literacy for Kids! On my 365 Days of Literacy for Kids – Fun, Easy & Completely Doable Project, I’ve talked about poems, letters, flowers, bugs [...]

We seem to get a lot of conflicting advice about what’s good and what’s bad for us, what would should eat and what we shouldn’t eat, what we need more of and what we need less of. Sometimes – actually, a lot of times – the information changes after we’ve been told something is good (or bad) for a number [...]

I’m honored, honored, honored to be working with Clorox and their Check-in for Checkups campaign.  This is EXACTLY the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be a digital mom and be able to use social media for GOOD! Not sure if you knew this, but TODAY is the second annual Global Social Media Day, which is sponsored by [...]

Let’s have a little fun, a little learning and a little YIKES! today with the LOVEBUG: The Lovebug lives up to its name in the black fly world… but not in the human world. Let’s begin in the black fly world. The Lovebug, Plecia nearctica, is a small black fly with a red thorax (the area behind the head).  The [...]

It’s been 10 years! Wow! I will admit, they’ve been the BEST 10 years of my life! And so, today… I wanted to share this video of me and my husband. Happy 10 Year Anniversary MATTHEW! I love you lifetimes!

We have plans to go out to dinner tonight, a special romantic dinner… and then after dinner, we’re just going to play it by ear. [...]

OK, moms (and dads!)! I’ve got a cool GIVEAWAY right now with Twizzlers that I’m excited to share! Last month my whole family went Road Tripping with Twizzlers and well, in a Twizzlers mobile! My sons have not stopped talking about it, they had the time of their lives! The cool thing about Twizzlers in the summer is that it’s [...]

It’s OFFICIALLY the summertime. I know this because it’s so hot! Even as I sit here, the humidity just creeps up and gets you! It’s crazy! During the day, we keep the boys busy. We go to the pool. We go to the beach. We absolutely keep them busy, the same thing my parents used to do for me and [...]

Yesterday I had the opportunity to hang out with some of my best blogging friends from Boston at the Aveda location at the Burlington Mall in Burlington, MA for a little Girl’s Day Out.  You know when you totally need to do something for yourself?  Well… yesterday was that day for me.  And truly there’s nothing like mixing beauty with [...]

I have been waiting all month to write this post!  For the last 5 months I’ve been chronicling my usage with Puristics on my little guys, focusing in on my Henry.  He has the most sensitive and delicate skin (as does my Benjamin), so as his mother, I’ve always (always, always) been very aware and concerned about any creams and/or [...]
