December 19, 2018 An Evening with Xfinity and Amazon
Sponsored Post: I was compensated for this post. As always, all opinions are my own. With little kids at home, I’m pretty tired by 9pm. Ok, let’s be honest, I’m tired by 6pm, but I feel like I need to have some time to unwind and decompress in front of the tv. I can’t even […]

December 6, 2018 75th Birthday Party for Berns
When my dad turned 75, we threw him a fun party – mostly NY themed, because that’s where he’s from. He’s not much of a sweets person, so we made him a bagel ‘cake’ with his favorite bagels from Cafe Bagel. You can’t have a NY party without some good deli items, so we used […]

December 4, 2018 Party with Sweet Cheeks Catering
With our family get togethers, I find that while it might be nice to have a home cooked meal, it’s also nice to be able to spend time with your guests, instead of being banished in the kitchen. It’s hard to think of things that everyone would like, but really, everyone in my family can […]

December 4, 2018 2nd Birthday Party
My kids have really been into dinosaurs these days. When my daughter turned 2, we threw her a dinosaur themed party. My mom makes the kids cookies with their age on them every year. Just a simple sugar cookie recipe with Betty Crocker vanilla icing and sprinkles. I bought the Caspari “partysaurus” plates and napkins […]

December 3, 2018 1st Birthday
Thought that this week I would share some fun birthday party ideas that we did for the kids. For my son’s first birthday we did a fish theme. Everyone had fun fish hats to wear that we picked up inexpensively from Party City and we had pool toys bouncing around the living room. I bought […]

November 22, 2018 Happy Thanksgiving
There are so many things to be thankful for this year – good health, a roof over our heads, food on the table and good friendships. I am most thankful for my family. While I am not hosting this year, I am still doing quite a bit of baking and cooking. I was trying to […]

November 21, 2018 Picking Fruit at Tougas Farm
Another place we liked to pick our own fruit this season was Tougas Farm in Northborough. We did strawberries and cherries here this season, but this time of year they do have apple picking available. The first time we went was when the baby was fairly new – so here I am with three kids […]

November 14, 2018 Food Truck Festival
Sponsored Post The kids and I have been reading Food Truck Fest by Amanda Penfold and it has quickly become a night time favorite. The kids can recite almost all the words to this rhyming book by heart. So when we were invited to the Cape Cod For Truck Festival, it was a no brainer. […]

November 5, 2018 Sunshine Farm
This summer was all about picking our own fruit. The kids loved it – we did everything from strawberries to peaches and blueberries. One of the places that we like to go is Sunshine Farm in Sherborn. If you go when they first open in the morning you pretty much have the place to yourselves, […]
