Mamas Gone Wild

Moms of young children everywhere dream of that elusive and rare magical event known as "Girls Night Out" (or GNO for short). It takes planning, it takes coordinating schedules, it takes finding something in your closet that is acceptably cute and not stained and cramming your muffin top into a pair of cute jeans (eek, guess it's time to lose the baby weight-more on that later!)...but it's all worth it for a couple of hours of hysterical laughter, gossip intelligent adult conversation, a couple of margaritas, and a hot uninterrupted dinner. No, it's not the partying of our pre-parenting days...but one thing is for sure. We arrive back home to our families refreshed and recharged and ready to resume our roles as Super Mamas. So, here's to you GNO-may you remain a regular occurrence in our crazy lives!

Ole!

Come On Spring!

We're in the midst of a very wet Nor'easter here in New England...and what better way to lift the spirits and dream of spring than to get started on our garden. So, with the help of my trusty little companion-we planted a few seeds.

we like to use these little peat pellets-it's fun to watch them expand in water!

Now, although I manage a fairly successful garden each summer...I'm notoriously bad at seed starting. I wanted to do just a few, though, as a fun project for the little man. Here's hoping I don't dash all his horticultural dreams!
I mean, look at how proud he is!




he's checked them no less than 15 times since we planted them this morning and nothing yet! We'll keep you posted!
