Though “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” first made an appearance on TV in 1966, it still holds every bit of the magic it first had. Many of us grew up watching this classic Halloween episode, knowing that it was officially Halloween when it aired on TV for the season. My family has watched “It’s […]

Today, Claire and I are headed to the Topsham Fire Station with our playgroup. I’ve taken my children almost every year since my first child was 18 months. I’ve never had a bad experience. The firefighters understand that it is part of their civic duty, to not only battle raging fires, but to educate our […]
Now that my children are 7, 5, and 3, they are now starting to broaden their interest in movies. Once, they would only watch a movie if it were 1) animated, 2) had animals in it, and 3) in no way scary. About a year ago, we successfully watched our first movie that didn’t follow […]
Guest Blogger – Christina Poulsen As a stay-at-home mom on a budget, one of my favorite places to go with my daughter during the week is my local library. As I have mentioned before, I live in the country, and I need to drive a good 20-30 minutes to get to the nearest store. The […]
I’ve always been a sugar-cone-kind-of-girl, but recently I’ve discovered new reasons to love the plain-old, regular cones. They are flat-bottomed so they are easy to set down without making a mess. They are portable – the perfect size for little hands. They are edible (and pretty tasty, I must admit). Really, anything delicious, whether sweet […]
I am here in the studio audience of the LIVE Blogging episode of the Martha Stewart Show. My journey here started last week when I was sent an invitation to attend the show. I made the decision to come to New York City, which I knew would involve 2 bus trips, beginning in Maine and […]
Fall here in Maine means that the nights get down to near freezing and the trees turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The air is crisp and so are the apples picked right off the tree at nearby orchards. I have always loved those first few times of putting on a cozy sweater […]
This weekend, our local apple orchard opens! This brings an enormous amount of pleasure to my family. Some of our best memories are of tasting the apples fresh off the trees, riding in a hay wagon to get out to the orchard, petting the farm animals, looking around at the brilliant colors of the trees […]
I only discovered blogging about a year ago, and it took a few months for me to figure out what the big deal was. What I discovered is that it is a fun and creative way to share your thoughts and passions with the world. Everyone wants to feel they’ve made an impact, some type […]
It is Labor Day and I started thinking of all the unpleasant ways I could be spending this day. As you spend this day at home or participating in final summertime activities, be grateful if you are lucky enough not to be celebrating Labor Day in one of these ways: Physical or mental exertion, especially […]
For Campbell’s birthday, what she wanted most was to have her best friend from 1st Grade sleepover at our house. We had had her sleep over at the end of the schoolyear and it went great! Sleepovers bring out the little girl in me like nothing else! I am nearly giddy at the idea of […]

It is blueberry season here in Maine and we have already been picking twice. The cleared areas below the power lines are just full of lowbush, wild blueberries. I just gave all of my Little Sals (from Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey – GREAT book!) a little pail while mama used her large pail, and […]
My youngest and I made a trip to the big city today to visit the mall. Though she is 3 years old, she does not have a single memory of ever visiting a mall (it has been at least a year). She couldn’t believe all the lights and activity. I had to truly dig to […]
