By: Kristen Clifford Happy New Years! Another year has come and gone. That means it is that time of year again when everyone makes New Years resolutions. Most people have a long list of things they want to change or accomplish in the up coming year. The problem is that very few people ever actually … More New Years Resolutions
By: Martianne Stanger Hooray! A new year is upon us and not only does that open up 52 weeks of possibilities, but it also reminds me of a great success: My family actually stuck to a resolution we made last year, and we are reaping benefits of it. A Simple Resolution Last January, we committed … More Four Seasons of Family Day Fun in the Local Area
By: Abby Keane Okay, I’m breaking one of my rules and talking about boobs … sorry guys! Guess those lines-not-to-be-crossed I talked about in my last entry are more fluid than I thought… Last week marked the end of an era in my house – it was the end of breastfeeding my youngest son. This … More The End Of An Era
By: Sheila Gaudet I’m writing this in the lingering “leftover hangover” of the holidays, thinking that I should be at the store making a few exchanges and cleaning up some Christmas mess.

By: Jessica DiRamio It’s a debate that I’ve seen get pretty heated amongst the Mom crowd. I’ve seen Moms reduced to tears over the idea of doing it or not doing it. I myself don’t do it. What is “IT,” you ask? Wrapping Santa presents, of course! There are two clearly defined camps on this … More Do You Wrap?
By: Sheila Gaudet After spending the weekend of family togetherness putting up Christmas decorations, I’m free to admit that there were moments…ok…hours…where I wondered if anyone would notice if I didn’t do it. I have two school aged boys and a husband who all are part of the process, but I often feel like it’s … More Great Expectations
By: Kristen Clifford Back in August, my husband and I decided to try a new reward system with Grace, because the sticker chart just wasn’t working anymore.
