I put together this eight pack of cupcakes for friends: the pink reminded me of brains, a classic jelly pumpkin, Butterfinger skull, candy eyeballs, black and orange non pareil sprinkles, a […]

We first saw the Dinoman show when we were down in Cape Cod. Our library down there in the summer has some really fun activities. The show itself was about 40 minutes long and it was great for all my kids. There were funny jokes, a little bit of educational learning, some magic, and it […]

Last week we were able to squeeze in some blackberry picking at Tougas Family Farm. Picking conditions in New England can change quickly, so make sure that you check their website before you head over to see that the fruit that you want is available. We like Tougas because they have blackberries, blueberries and peaches […]
