Another holiday that was oh so different this year. But, we figured it out and it was not bad!

Cole drives me crazy. Like really, he does. But he also makes me crazy proud. On a quick trip to Mystic in late June, he heard about Mystic Sailing Camp. It was a week long sleepover camp on a ship on the Mystic River. During the days, they’d learn to sail, take care of ships, […]

We’ve been waiting for you! A bit different this year… very much so actually; I have to work a bit. Not my favorite part of the job for sure but it’s all good. The days aren’t long and there aren’t really that many of them… and now that the attempt at convincing myself is that […]

There’s a few more days of the month and we plan to use them up properly. Especially since our summer will look a bit different this year with me having to work extra. All the days have plans.. even if the plan is to do nothing 😉 summer is just so necessary.

This smart boy was in a spelling bee this week! It was kinda cute. I probably should’ve paid more attention to the big picture, I think there were maybe 10 or 12 kids in the bee, all 3rd and 4th graders. Spoiler alert, he did not win. *Our cute friend Isla did. Congratulations nice girl! […]

Obviously this means the North Fork. We’re so lucky it’s such an easy little drive to get there. It’s almost always a weekend day for us. Shea would probably live at the goat farm and Cole would surely visit often to check in on his favorite baby cows. We also have been stopping at the […]

I think Mother Nature knew that this year’s weather had to be good on this day since last year was so very different. It was such a nice day, like the first take-your-jackets-off kinda day also know as my-kids-got-a-mask-tan-line-day! We headed over to the North Fork in the morning. We did breakfast, a greenhouse, Harbes […]

April is such a good month. Easter pics and birthday (week) pictures. This one was a really good one. 🤍🎈

Spring break!!! Summed up most simply: hikes, hugs, and hungry kids. Collins went to Florida for spring training *FaceTime with him on the beach pic is in here* and the boys and I had a few days at home then headed upstate. Each day we’d do a different hike then explore a new town. We […]
