  • Cul-de-sac Fit

    I just went running. That sounds so nice, doesn’t it? I’m calling it running even though I pretty much walked up all hills and ran down them. That’s running, right? I always thought runners were cool. So much cooler than walkers. I strive...

  • Mother's guilt - that's some powerful stuff

    I let my kids get sunburned yesterday. We went to the beach at Moraine State Park (I totally recommend it! It’s only a 45 minute drive from Pittsburgh. We visited the Pleasant Valley Beach on the South Shore and spent hours! There’s a great...

  • Potty training conspiracy

    We’re currently in the throes of potty training Matthew. He turned three recently and figured it’s time. I’m trying the “leave him naked and he’ll start to learn when he has to go” method. I’m pretty certain that...

  • The $408 Christmas Tree

    I read on CNN today that “Caffeinated Moms Drink Up To Keep Up” . According to a study by the National Sleep Foundation, more than 65 percent of moms drink caffeinated beverages to get through their day. The article makes me laugh when cardiologist...

  • Beach rebel

    I’m not sure what it is, what happens,but every time I go to the beach I get overcome by this sense of rebellion that I don’t know in my every day life. Maybe it’s the smell of the surf, the casual attitude, the flip flops. Maybe I’m...

  • In a split second

    The other day I had probably the scariest moment of my parenting thus far. We were on our way to the beach for our vacation and had stopped at the rest stop for gas and bathroom breaks. I took Matthew into the bathroom to change his diaper and then came...

    Pixter Bundle at EToys - $39.99! A friend recently told me that she really enjoyed the Pixter system for her kids. I was looking for some ideas to keep the kids occupied on our upcoming road trip to the beach. I started looking online and the going price...

  • Pittsburgh Family Fun goes to Idlewild

    We recently spent Matthew’s birthday at Idlewild Park in Ligonier. We did this last year too (we’re making it a summer birthday tradition. We’ll have to think of something that we can do for Ben’s birthday in December. Maybe a...
