You know, sometimes you deserve it. You deserve that ice cream, and not even coffee flavored. You deserve to shell pistachios just for you. And eat them, without it feeling like a race. You deserve to enjoy a lobster. It can feel unattainable, right?
How To Eat In Peace
Drop a huge plateful of chicken nuggets on […]
After our recent lobster-in-front-of-kids eating experience, I’m loathe to eat delicious food in front of my kids. They have a long history of trying to ruin my eating experiences. I mean, many things are probably ok. They don’t give me much of a hard time if they come across me eating grilled chicken, or a […]
Our kids had SO much fun being surprised by Surprizamals!
Have you heard of this craze? Cute little balls and you open them and are surprised by the cute little stuffed animal inside. The children couldn’t get enough of opening them.
Surprizamals are the original stuffed animal toys created for children to be surprised by when they […]
Have you ever eaten a lobster in front of your kids before? As full-fledged lobster lovers, on a recent camping trip in Maine, we decided to take as much advantage of being in lobster land to eat it up. And that seemed like a good plan until we were sitting at the table, about to […]

On a recent camping trip, our children quickly disappeared into the biker gang that always emerges at campgrounds. You know the kind I’m talking about – mostly two-wheeled, with the occasional training wheeled members. They spent a lot of time at the nearby playground, deeply immersed in a game they made up. As we had […]
Traveling with a toddler can be tiring and stressful. Even with the most careful planning, you may still find huge moments of stress. There may be giant meltdowns that even the sweetest toddler can’t cheer their momma up during. My children are always trying to calm me during meltdowns and sometimes I’m beyond help.
Until the […]
We’ve all been there. In our head, planned amazing family vacations where our children would dance happily along next to us. We’d have the perfect amount of family time, combined with some sleeping in and a delicious meal or two. Then suddenly you get woken up from your daydream because your toddler has hit you […]
I’ve been traveling with my kids since they were very small, anywhere from 5 hour car trips to upstate NY, to beach house getaways on Long Island or our most recent airplane ride to Disney World.
One thing I can say, as crazy as traveling with small children can be, personally, it does get easier with […]
