Our Summer Vacation – Boston

by MARIA on August 1, 2012

The second part of our family vacation was in Boston. It was three days of non-stop walking, “exciting” subway rides and lots of museums and attractions. Our favorite stops included the Aquarium, the Museum of Science and the Museum of Art. The kids LOVED their first subway rides, and it was just a really fun [...]

We just back from our glorious family holiday in Kennebunkport, Maine and Boston. We stayed at this wonderful resort called the Nonantum Resort – it was five minutes from several beaches, and a ten minute walk from Dock Square (the main part of town). We lucked out in every way – our room was perfect, [...]

Playing In The Rain

by MARIA on June 13, 2012

It was POURING last night and the kids looked at me with their “can we go outside” puppy eyes, and who am I to deny the puppy eye power? If I was smart I would stripped them down and bathed them a la Mother Nature. Next time.

All I Want For Mother’s Day

by MARIA on May 12, 2012

Mother’s Day is this weekend and that means that I will be spoiled and pampered and regaled all day Sunday. Probably not. I’ve been married a LONG time (11+ years) and a mom for 8+ years, and I’ve learned that the secret to a happy (LASTING) marriage and life is to LOWER ONE’S EXPECTATIONS. Now [...]

by MARIA on April 5, 2012

The husband surprised our eight year old son with a daddy/son road trip to Ottawa on Tuesday night to see the Senators game – his first NHL game. He LOVES everything hockey right now. It’s all he thinks about and he reads NHL books every free moment. He has this uncanny ability to remember facts [...]

We love Photo Booth

by MARIA on March 9, 2012

The husband brought home a shiny new iMac a few weeks back, and no question, it was love at first sight. Compared to my crappy laptop, this is a thing of beauty. Of course the kids just want to take pictures of themselves, over and over again. I’m ok with it.

And then there was one …… bird.

by MARIA on March 3, 2012

Twelve days ago, my husband decided to buy our five year old two pet budgies. Twelve days later, only one bird remains. The other has gone off to birdie heaven. I came home Thursday after dropping the kids at school and noticed both birds were on the ground and one wasn’t really doing much but [...]
