This past Friday night we took the boys to Ocean City, NJ to have some fun on the Boardwalk. There’s something so cool about heading there to me… I can feel the memories building, it’s a beautiful thing. Not to mention having my husband’s favorite Mac and Manco’s Pizza… But it’s the look on their faces that always makes me [...]

Many people will ask me how I “try” and balance it all with the kids and with work.  Truth is, there’s no balance for me. Every single day is a new day with my husband where we both just try to make everything work as seamless as we possibly can.  Try is the operative word!  I would never classify myself [...]

OK… we’re ready to rock and roll this trip! If you happen to see this van on the road… HONK!! WAVE!! HONK!! WAVE!! We’ve got Twizzlers!!!!!!!        

If you’ve been following my blog over the past few weeks, you are probably tired of hearing about know I just enjoyed a wonderful vacation in Florida. Brian and I stayed in a condo and we had a little kitchen to work with, which was awesome. I love going out to eat and trying new restaurants while on vacation, but [...]

So… I have been scarce around here, haven’t I? We’ve been enjoying our vacation and have been spending more time outside than online, which, I suppose, is how it should be. The previous five days here have been much like the first four I documented… beautifully warm, sunny and enjoyable. On Thursday Brian and I drove about 45 minutes north [...]

OK, so today Brian and I didn’t do much but sit by the pool and enjoy the GORGEOUS weather. However, we did work out early in the morning, so we weren’t totally unproductive. Brian ran 6.5 miles and then I met him at the community aquatic center (which has an incredible Olympic-sized pool) and we swam laps together. Then we [...]

Barry and I spontaneously took off this past Tuesday and headed to Cape Cod, or, as we New Englanders say, “the Cape.” The day was glorious… warm, breezy, beautiful sun in the big old blue sky. Our plan was to head all the way to the tip of the Cape, to Provincetown, but a 13-mile construction warning detoured us to [...]

I happened to be browsing the web last night for vacations spots. Well, for paradise-wish-you-were-here resorts. I love me some beach. And some sun. I know. I know. A resort vacation right now isn’t going to happen. With just having my Henry, I’m sure it will be a good year before we can haul these 4 boys and Daddy off [...]
