Here’s a few pictures from our Fourth of July at the beach. It was filled with family, laughs, a big parade, an old school lemonade stand, dogs dressed in holiday wear, beads flying off floats, wave jumping and fireworks on the beach. We missed our old gang at home and our neighborhood traditions. But our […]

Road tripping
There comes a time in summer when you just have to hit the road – and travel. There is a part of me that can only go so long without traveling, playing the part of a wondering soul. Putting my toes in the sand and seeking out new things. With the girls getting older, we […]

Pool days
Pool days are truly simple now, at ages 4,7 and 9. With lifeguards on duty, a 4-year-old who swims like a fish, an open snack bar and some flippers – this is what summer is about. Coming up next is phase two of summer – beach times, road tripping and settling in for a good […]

It’s like they were sneaking up on themselves, in an independent […]

Carrots, rain dancing and ballet

For the first summer in many years, I have not planned new ways to keep everyone busy for our MANY hours we will spend together during summer break. In the past I have recreated new play spaces, prepared Montessori inspired shelves of activities to keep toddler hands engaged, armed myself with new art supplies and […]

In the garden, with or without kids
In spring I have great ideas of what to plant in our small garden. And a plan that involves my girls helping, harvesting, learning and eventually getting them to eat more vegetables out of the experience. I’ve slacked off this year on all of these expectations and adopted the garden as my place. Of course […]

CSA farm visits, now and then
Our vegetable CSA had a open house farm tour last weekend and we went, bringing home excitement and readiness for spring veggies to began. I’ve written about “Farmer Megan” lots before – like here when the girls’ brownie troop visited the farm on a hot early summer day. And here after our first drop in […]

Spring gardening and backyard shananagans
It’s been so long since I’ve blogged, I ran into someone this weekend who thought something was wrong with her Facebook feed because she wasn’t getting my blog updates anymore. I’m so sorry about that! Thank you to those faithful readers for sticking with me while I go through bouts of needing to write and […]
