I Know What I Did This Summer or #Backtoschool Needs to Get Here Quick!
Another lengthy comment that I am turning in to a blog post!! You would think that since my children are 14, 11, and 7 that this summer would have been a breeze. Nope. It was an utter nightmare. Thank goodness my teacher/administrator husband was off for part of June and all of July.... »
Sun Exposure for Kids, Preteens, and Teens
Another comment from a forum that was long enough for a post! In answer to the question, do you use sunscreen, why, and what strength. If you want to participate in this discussion, join MomSpark Forum. I had one very bad burn on my back as an 8-year-old and another serious burn on my... »
Oyster Locals: Spy Museum Teen Style

#OpenSky: Come Stop By My Corner Store!
As a little girl I would walk to the corner shop with my grandmother. It was 1970-something, but really it could have been 1940. My grandmother wore a dress, high-heeled shoes, an overcoat, and a fur hat. Her shopping basket was a wicker basket or plaid shopping bag depending on the season. I hurried... »
Brrrr: Beach Time In Manchester

We spent many rainy, windy days bundled in blankets behind windbreaks sipping hot tea at the “seaside” in Southport. My sister and I would run about on the beach. The sea was miles away. My parents and grandmother would... »
Planning a Trip to D.C.: Oyster Style

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences: Feeding Dolphins #OrlandoMom
My younger two children are animal mad. My younger daughter would regularly cradle our friend’s cat as though she was carrying a baby. At 18 months old, she carried a cat that was almost as big as her. My son loves playing with our neighbor’s dog. The teen is more like me…it’s good to... »
Universal Studios Tour, Harry Potter Ride Sneak Peak, and more #orlandomom
My son and I were part of a mom blogger trip to Orlando last month. The trip was amazing. We ate, drank, walked, and drove all over Orlando. It was an exhausting, yet invigorating 4 days. I have so much to share. Posts on Disney Studios, Gatorland, and Sea World to come. Today’s post is... »
