Every year it’s the same thing. Wedding season rolls around and along with it comes the engagement parties and bridal showers. And although I’ve managed to get my kids out of most of these activities, weddings seem to cause me grief. Please don’t get me wrong. I enjoy being part of these festivities and attending… Continue reading Gentlemen…..thoughts please?

Why I’m sharing Day Map
Even though we launched it a few weeks ago, Day Map went live today on many of the social media platforms and it was like watching my baby take its first steps as it started taking on a personality of its own. Day Map came to my rescue in the first years following the arrival… Continue reading Why I’m sharing Day Map
NYC vs Little Boys
They said it couldn’t be done. My itinerary too aggressive. Not enough time. Such a big and busy city for such very active boys. One of my goals has been to expose my boys to as many global cities as possible so when a PA day at school created a long weekend, I jumped on… Continue reading NYC vs Little Boys
‘Tis the season….
to cringe when they both dove into the toy catalogues that raided our mailbox a couple of weeks ago. Circled, for Santa (kudos to my eldest for maintaining the magic for my youngest), are EVERY single video game (regardless of whether or not we have that specific play system), EVERY single lego set (even though… Continue reading ‘Tis the season….

You love what?!?!?
Batten down the hatches and head for the hills. Make a run for it quick because the world MUST be coming to end. We’re nearly 3 weeks into the new school year and both my boys lo…..I can’t even type it because it’s seems surreal…… BOTH my boys LOVE school. I too, fell over when… Continue reading You love what?!?!?
Travelling with 2 little anima….I mean fine, young, gentlemen.
3 weeks in a European country English not the main language No screens At first glance, this would bode for an epic fail of a vacation, however you’ll see below, that not only did we have the best time, but we got to experience many new things. The boys advised me that they wouldn’t be… Continue reading Travelling with 2 little anima….I mean fine, young, gentlemen.
Our spectacularly successful day of…..nothing.
School’s out. Bedtimes shift because it’s “too light out” to be in bed at the regular scheduled times. Daycamp buses require earlier wake up times than what we’re used to. Lots and lots of activities throughout the day. And three weeks into the summer, three weeks of play dates, a weekend ball hockey tournament out… Continue reading Our spectacularly successful day of…..nothing.
