I just got back from an afternoon hike along the Billy Goat Trail, next to the Potomac River, with 3 of my kids. Other than the need for ice on my bad knee, it was a wonderful afternoon. It was an altogether wonderful day That included sleeping in (thanks to a day off school…
Cradling the Moon #WW
During my recent trip to Utah, I caught a late morning moon “cradled” in a nook of the mountains above me. I’ve always loved the moon – and snapping pictures of it – and I enjoyed this unique (for me) framing of the moon. At home in Maryland, I don’t get many clear shots…
Surviving Zion National Park with Kids
It took me almost 40 years to make my first trip to Zion National Park, and when I finally made it there, I only brought one teenage daughter and my mom. But…we met my old neighbor and friend with 4 of her kids and set out for a day of hiking with our group…
Riding a Rhino Through the Dessert {PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}
When Necco, my mom and I were in Southern Utah last week, we were able to stay an extra day with my aunt and uncle in St. George. Now a little background – this is the aunt and uncle that used to take me out on their boat during the summers in Lake Tahoe….
A Peek at Our Day at Zion National Park #WW
My mom and 14 year old daughter, Necco, met my friend and 4 of her kids at Zion National Park last week for a day of hiking….and sweating. Zion’s is a gorgeous place to visit…but I’m not sure I’d recommend it during the month of August! More pictures and details when I get back…

This post and giveaway is being sponsored by Music With Maddy, but this is the sort of thing I would naturally be encouraging my local friends to do with their kids. All opinions are my own. When my kids were little, I took them each to a community center where, among other things, they…
Utah’s Shakespeare Festival {PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}
My mom, daughter Necco and I finished a busy but wonderful day at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah. We caught a sold-out matinee of Peter and the Starcatcher (obviously not a Shakespeare play, but hilariously amazing) and then after an early dinner headed back to the festival for the Greenshow, pictured below….
Temple Square – #WordlessWednesday
Yesterday, after 5 hours on a turbulent plane with a fussy toddler kicking my seat for the majority of the flight, my daughter Necco and I happily landed in Salt Lake City for our two week girl’s retreat. My mom picked us up at the airport and we were able to steal my sister…
Boston Harbor Cruises {PSF/GMYBS}
After our first day in Boston was washed out by rain, we decided to take charge the next day and go ahead and buy a guided trolley tour (with Beantown Trolley) for the following day. We figured that if day number 2 was rained out as well, we’d at least be able to see…
Candlepin Bowling in Gloucester, MA #WW
One of my husband’s fondest memories of visiting Gloucester, Massachusetts when he was a kid was going candlepin bowling. When we visited Gloucester last week to see his 92 year old great aunt, he was determined to find a local candlepin bowling alley to give our kids a taste of his fun memory from…
