Last Tuesday, my family of seven pulled up to the Days Inn in Geneva, New York. The temperature outside was a blazing 100+ and we were tired from 8 hours of driving in a car packed full with people. I was sitting in the back seat, in between my two youngest, to maintain the peace…
Grocery Shopping Tips – Big Family “How Do You Do It?” Series
About a week ago, I took 3 of my kids out on a shopping trip. Since my kids have been in school full time for the last 2 years, and because I have a couple of amazing built-in babysitters when they’re NOT in school, I had completely forgotten how difficult it is to shop with…
Staying Connected with Skype
My family of seven spends a lot of time together. We eat dinner around the kitchen table every night, everyone shares a bedroom, and we sit together at church every Sunday. We see a lot of each other. And then summer happened. This summer has been different from every other summer I can remember. Instead…
“How Do You Afford All Those Kids?” – Big Family “How Do You Do It?” Series
Raising kids is not cheap, and we are certainly not rolling in money around here, so I frequently hear the question, “How do you afford all those kids?” Being raised in a family of 7 was great preparation for learning how to save money, and I learned many of my best tips and tricks for…
Happy 4th of July! #WW
While I was in Philadelphia this weekend, I was able to see some of the most incredible fireworks ever (and we had amazing “seats”)! Philly fireworks blew my socks off, and I had a blast snapping pictures for the entire fireworks show. One of my favorite things to do during fireworks displays is leaving the…
5 Tips to Throwing a Great Backyard BBQ Get-Together #SummerwithSears
Nothing says outdoors and grill like the Fourth of July. This week was made for grilling (really, it should be a crime to NOT cook something on the grill on the 4th of July, don’t you think?) and friends and family. I love grilling during the summer months, mostly because I want to do anything…
What To Do on the Fourth of July – Visit Atlantic City #HowIDoAC
Ever since I was a little kid, covering my ears to avoid the BOOMS of fireworks, I have loved the Fourth of July (yes, I’ve always loved fireworks despite my sensitive ears). July 4th meant swimming, parks, BBQs, family and friends, and a magnificent fireworks show. I’ve seen Independence Day celebrations in 5 states and…
Help Your Kids Avoid the #SummerSlide
My kids are officially on Summer Vacation, as of last Tuesday. Summer time is both a blessing and a curse. I love letting my body wake up when it wants to. I love spending time at my neighborhood pool and playing games with my kids. I love taking day trips to see my sister in…
Happy Father’s Day 2012!
To all the dads in my life….Happy Father’s Day! I’m being a bad wife and traveling on Father’s Day, leaving my husband home alone with four of our kids (Necco, our 13 year old, just left us to spend the summer at my sister’s house). But he’s man enough to handle it. It’s one of…
First 5K – Father/Son Run – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Twizzler is a natural runner. We noticed his natural speed and love for running a few years ago, but unlike team sports like soccer and football, track seems to be completely absent from the normal sports offerings for young kids. Now that he’s finished with elementary school, he’ll be able to join the track team…
