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…

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…
Halibut Point State Park – Rockport, MA {PSF/GMYBS}
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…
Prom Prep! #WordlessWednesday
Last Friday was PROM and my oldest daughter was asked to go. She’s been getting ready for this weekend for weeks now, planning the perfect dress (which she found at Macy’s!), the perfect jewelry (thanks to Charming Charlie’s), and the perfect hair (courtesy of my awesome sister, Andrea). Here’s a sneak peek at the prom…
Caption This…. #WordlessWednesday
Sometimes pictures need lots of explanation. Sometimes they need none. Sometimes pictures were born to be the subjects of Caption This contests. (Can you call it a contest if there’s no prize for the winner? Does a congratulatory tweet count?) I’ll explain the story behind the picture on Friday’s Give Me Your Best Shot… Seven…
Sweet 16 – The Chipotle Birthday Party
I think I’ve mentioned before that I am not a party organizer. My poor kids have suffered through the years with boring – or non-existent – birthday parties. Luckily, my oldest daughter, KitKat, was determined to have a party for her “sweet 16” birthday and did all the planning for it to happen. All I…
Wrapping. And Wrapping. And Wrapping
About a week ago, as I was recovering from that nasty flu that hit ONLY me (I’m actually very grateful that no one else in my family came down with it), I decided that if I was going to enjoy this Christmas season at all, I would need to give in to it completely. So…not…
Halloween Class Parties 2012 – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ll admit – as much as I love candy (I really do. It’s bad) I’ve never really gotten the hype over Halloween. I’ve never been one to go all out with costumes (most years I just let my kids pick something from the stash of costumes I keep in the attic), although last year I…
Proud to be Unique – Walt Disney Quote # PSF
I don’t think I am more proud of my oldest daughter, Kit Kat, than each year when the school holds Spirit Week. When she was a freshman, she dressed in what I thought at the time was the wackiest Wacky Wednesday costume ever. I was insanely proud of her confidence and the fact that she…
Signs of Fall – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ve been so tired lately. Maybe it could have something to do with the amazingly beautiful weather and cool breeze relaxing me. OK, maybe not. I’ve just been tired. Today on my morning walk, I was struck by the sights and smells of Fall. I could have spent the entire day outside, enjoying the scent…
