Winter in New England with Kids – (Ep. 19)
In New England, there are two types of people, those who like winter and those who do not. It does not always make sense to me if you do not like the weather in New England, why people stay. The normal response is family. I am one of those people that loves the winter. I love cold weather, I love snow, I love be bundled up and I LOVE my electric blanket! Taryn on the other hand, does not like winter. But she tolerates it because family is nearby. Now that I have a child, I can see how winter does complicate your life. In order to get my son…

Top Baby Shower Gifts – (Ep. 16)
My baby shower was such an excellent time. I loved planning for it and I loved having so many great people share in the joy of our expecting child.

At now 9 months old, I do not think it should be so cutthroat to get a child in activities. Paying a special price this year…
