As much as I loved our two days in Boston (still more pictures to share about that!) my favorite part of Massachusetts by far was our morning spent hiking and exploring at Halibut Point State Park in Rockport, MA (close to Gloucester, where my mother in law’s family is from). We found the parking…
Blueberry Pomegranate Hibiscus Pops by Kelly Ripa #PerfectTemp
In my kids’ eyes, there’s not much worse than taking a big drink of milk only to find that the milk is not completely cold. Lukewarm milk is more than just an annoyance – it can be a matter of staying healthy and avoiding an upset stomach or worse – food poisoning. According to food…
Smart Summer Snacking Tips – #WonderfulSummer
Yesterday, I got back from a 1300 mile road trip. Road trips inevitably seem to go hand in hand with bad snacking…candy, chips, soda…why is it that we crave junk food when we’re stuck in the car for hours? Never mind the summer road trips…With the whole family home all summer long, our eating…
The Gift of a Lifetime: Getting Kids Involved in Community Service
Please welcome guest contributor, Brad Jamison, who was wonderful enough to write this article for my blog while I’m away with my family on vacation. Note: this is not a sponsored post. Just great information! People ask me all the time why I am so dedicated to volunteering. While there are many reasons I…
Kidde Home Fire Safety Tips and Worry-Free Smoke Alarm Giveaway
The fire safety tips and information and Kidde Smoke alarm giveaway within this post are being sponsored by Kidde. While the statistics and information about the new Maryland law specifically apply to Maryland residents, the information is relevant to everyone, and as always, opinions are my own. Do you… Live in a home that…
Introducing YesVideo’s New App #RememberWhen
Note: This post is being sponsored by YesVideo, but I would use their services (and have used them!) on my own dime because I have that much faith in their company. All thoughts and opinions (and app snapshots) are my own. A few months ago, my husband came home with a large box full…
Back-to-School Survival Tips
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bright Star Kids. The opinions and text are all mine. If you count preschool and each of my kids individually, I figured that we have survived 40 (forty!!) back-to-school seasons. That’s 40 first days of school. Back-to-school shopping times 40. Picking out first-day-of-school outfits…
100 Years, 100 Wishes
Note: I received a package of Birthday-themed ice cream treats so that my family could celebrate Wells’ 100th birthday, but no monetary compensation was received. All opinions are my own. A 100th birthday is no small event. Definitely party-worthy. This year, Well Enterprises, the makers of Blue Bunny ice cream, is celebrating its 100th…
How to Capture Unique 4th of July Fireworks Photos
Have you ever wondered how to capture amazing, unique fireworks photos? You may have tried snapping a picture or two with your smart phone, or you’ve seen fellow fireworks-watchers trying to capture fireworks using the flash on their camera. I’m guessing that most of those pictures fell flat. I came upon this method on accident,…

Late afternoon grocery store visit for chicken, chips, watermelon, ice cream treats and soda (essential 4th of July picnic food). Check! Evening at the fairgrounds full of music,…
