Yesterday was the Down Cellar bus trip to the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. We got a late start, it was at least ninety degrees, the bus was like a sauna – so yeah, there were a few hiccups along the way. Still it was really a great time! I did end up replacing the […]
Read More: Spoils of the FestivalI tend to avoid taking the kids to museums, as this is the dramatic kind of reaction I usually get. But when Aidan came home from school and told me he was writing a biography report on Thomas Edison, I suggested we visit Edison’s laboratory museum. It was an idea that was met with actual […]

We took advantage of the 50-degree weather (because compared to what it had been, 50 degrees is positively balmy) on Sunday and trekked off to the Jersey shore. We landed about an hour and 15 minutes from home in Ocean Grove, a Victorian beach town we’d visited once before. We spent time on the beach, […]

and headed North, up the NY State Thruway, and West, deep into the Catskill Mountains, where we found a quaint little 1830’s farmhouse waiting for our arrival. I’d been wanting to enjoy the cozy atmosphere of the mountains in the fall for some time, and was more than willing to drive three hours to do […]

Now that both of my kids are school-age, I find that I appreciate my role as at-home Mom most deeply in the summer. I’ve gotten used to having them both on schedules and gone for a great portion of the time during the school year, but in the summer? In the summer, we can drop […]

Yes, they do. Spring changes to summer, and strawberry season changes to blueberry season. While Friday night we were enjoying a delicious Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie, with what may prove to be the last batch of farmers’ market strawberries we see this year, Sunday afternoon saw us ushering in the blueberry. With rides – those of […]

Last time Eamonn and I went to Hillview Farms, we saw some chickens off in the distance who, once they noticed us, came running down the hill. The closer the chickens got, the more interested Eamonn got in watching them from the safety of the car. No, he was not adventurous where enthusiastic clucking and […]

This morning I got my first taste of Farmers’ Market Season. My regular markets haven’t opened yet, so I went to one that was new to me. This is the third summer that I’ve frequented the local markets, and I remember that first season, when the boys liked to tag along. Eamonn, in particular, liked […]

In a lot of ways, our 4-day getaway was a study in irony. There was the weather, for one thing: a day of fog, followed by a day of cold rain, followed by a day of cold sun, and culminating in a single, lovely 68-degree sunny day right when we were ready to check out. […]

Sunday was rainy, as predicted. And cold, also as predicted. And though we did venture out to the boardwalk a few times – growing boys need pancake breakfasts, and arcade games, after all – we spent a good portion of our late morning and early afternoon cocooned in the hotel. Our hotel is situated right […]
