An Old Fashioned Girl in a Modern World
Wanna know a secret? I'm a sweater. Yep. And it doesn't take a nice long run either. A few weeks ago I was reading an article about how the more active you are, the more you sweat. Great, so you want us to be active, and then we will be rewarded by sweating, right? Perfect. Thank gosh for … [Read more...]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of OneBar. One thing we have been this spring and summer is on the go. Well, to be honest, when aren't we on the go? I am constantly packing diaper bags, back packs, lunch boxes, any bag I can, full of snack and treats and meals and anything else … [Read more...]
Ben and I got married right out of college. We started dating in 9th grade, got engaged the summer after our Junior year at UNH, and then got hitched the October after we graduated (best.party.ever!). We were young and knew very little about "real world" finances. We both had jobs, so that was a … [Read more...]
I feel like I have been talking a ton lately with my kids about this holiday that is coming up. In my opinion, it is one of the most important around. That holiday is...Earth Day! We haven't just been chatting about Earth Day being one day but about how every day can be Earth Day and … [Read more...]
I was so excited to find out that my local Walmart carried Hallmark cards. Hallmark has been my go to brand for some time now. Sure, we do the homemade card quite frequently but there are many times that you need just the right words and for that I head to the card store. I can remember … [Read more...]
I have spent the last three weeks in a "dental hygeine challenge" if you will. Honestly, this should NOT have been a challenge at all. It makes it sound like I am not one for teeth brushing or good dental hygeine. That is not the case at all. But I will say, I am not the best at remembering to floss … [Read more...]
I went to prom with Ben. Yep, high school sweethearts in the house! It was perfect. I can vividly remember the night and who Prom King and Queen were (two of the nicest people in our class). I can also remember who we went with, how we got there, and what we did after it (LBI of … [Read more...]
So, here is how a normal night goes at our house: Kids go to bed around 8. We head to be by around 10:30 and chat, read, or work for a little longer. By about 1 a.m. at least one of our kiddos is in with us. It is generally the snuggler that comes in first so the first few hours are restful. Then … [Read more...]
Seven snowstorms in and what feels like 217 inches of snow (and some ice) and I am ready for this to end. Let's be real. I love myself a good winter BUT I am ready for it to be over. I am trying to sell a house people! I am not the only one ready for it to be over. My kids haven't had a full week … [Read more...]
I remember when I was about 7 years old, I was introduced to my brother's favorite book and movie, The Jungle Book. My brother is 10 years older than I am. When I was a kid I looked up to every single thing that he did and I just adored the time that I spent with him. One of my favorite memories of … [Read more...]
