Having friends that are moms is so key when you have kids, I would argue it is the most important part of being a mom in those early years! I’ve had two experiences: with my first I lived in a town right outside of Boston and didn’t have all the mommy classes or support groups […]

A Few of My Favorites for Winter Locations
So, I’ve moved, yes! Oh wait, I moved from Boston to London, so similar climate, a different type of cold and no snow.. interesting.. Time to watch what mother’s do here in London and learn and adjust. Boston/Vermont winters in US are cold/freezing, sometimes unbearable for little kids, especially in sub zero temperatures. BUT you get […]
A Simple Thank You..
We are teaching our kids to say please and thank you but I find sometimes in a marriage the first thing that goes out the window is the thank you!! I’m going to start with a Try it. TRY IT: I think any partner should walk into the door, if the other partner is already home […]
Date Ideas: Amusement Parks
Dates are something that we should STILL do in a marriage, especially with kids. We tend to get caught up in life and just go through the motions far too often. So I suggest getting back to the beginning and really dating, like courting and wooing! First idea, go to an amusement park, I’m talking […]
Will You Marry Me? Because I’d Like to Date You
Is chivalry dead after you have kids and after years of marriage??? COURT ME, goddamnit!!! haha Yes, at some point in a marriage you start taking each other for granted and for sure with kids go into survival mode.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a sugar addict and as I am trying to lose weight I’m becoming increasingly aware of what triggers me to run to carbs or sugar. Stress for sure is there, no sleep and my kids just blatantly not listening to me, leaving me helpless and in search of carbs which […]
Kids: Dance Parties
Days are long, years are short.. I think that’s how it goes.. Well the days are definitely long in my home and some days I’m so lazy! I basically have to distract them from 6am (yes that is when they get up) – 8/8:30am and then 5 – 9pm (when my oldest goes to bed). […]
Mom: Fitness, Food and Losing Weight.. Constant Struggle!
I’m a sugar addict which is my downfall for all pregnancies and just life in general! I got pregnant at 30 and all of the sudden I wanted to stop working out (morning nausea) and just eat carbs, it was awesome at the time, not awesome the second I gave birth and I was just […]
