August 20, 2024 Who is the Dinoman?

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.

August 2, 2024 Puppy Themed Birthday

My daughter is obsessed with my brother’s dog, which is perfect, because this means we never have to get our own dog. We get to have it over for a few hours, love her, play with her, and then we get to give her back. We never have to walk her, or take her to […]
