Activities

I have never been to Atlantic City before this weekend. If you had asked me a week ago to tell you to describe what I imagined it would be like I honestly would not have said “family” oriented. I mean, come on! It’s Atlantic City! Gambling, show girls, night life…not exactly something that was on [...]

The CDC dedicated the entire month of May to stroke awareness. May 20th is a specific day of the month that we can all stop and take a moment to educate ourselves and our loved ones about the third leading cause of death in the United States.

On May 16, 1965 Spaghetti-O’s were born. I can’t imagine my life without them. Seriously. For as long as I can remember celebrating a birthday I have had spaghetti-o’s as a part of it.

by JJ on May 12, 2011

Next week, I am hopping in the car and taking a road trip with my husband. We won’t have our little boy with us–that’s a whole other type of road trip! I am very meticulous about packing for any trip, but especially road trips. I want to be prepared for lots of different situations–stuck in [...]

We live near the mecca that is DC–with free museums that abound…art, science, history, culture, the entire Smithsonian collection at our fingertips.  I love a good Smithsonian visit, don’t get me wrong, but for the toddler set an entire building of don’t touch! gets a little old.  Enter Port Discovery Children’s Museum in Baltimore, 30 [...]

About eighteen months ago, we were looking at the year ahead of us and considering the trips we had in store. We planned a trip to see my family in San Francisco, several trips to the Philadelphia area for Sesame Place and various farm-ish things around there, and some possible long weekends in other nearby [...]

So you know how yesterday was No Sock Day? Well, today we can look at that sock bag we all have of those lone socks and mourn their missing mates. Today is Lost Sock Memorial Day. Are they with that other pair of glasses? Perhaps with your missing set of keys. Personally, I think they [...]
