First Haircuts!

My friend and co-worker, Kristine, cuts hair at a salon in the South End neighborhood of Boston. If you want a great haircut at an Aveda Salon, book with her at Moxie Star Salon! I am so lucky that she also does kids' hair and she even makes house calls. Silas and Zoe's hair has gotten quite long, so we finally decided to "book" their first hair cut. With the holidays coming up, we figured it was time...

Silas went first. We put him in his booster seat in front of Sesame Street cartoons playing on the computer. He did awesome!!!!


You can see how long his hair was in this picture, because the left half is cut but the right half isn't!!!


Awwww, Big Bird! This was their first Sesame Street viewing experience and it worked like a charm!


Here's the finished product (sorry, Kristine, that I didn't get a better picture!).


Zoe was next. We were a little worried about how she would do since she can be *a little* high maintenance sometimes, but she was sucked into the crack cartoons and also did great!



And the finished product for number two!


Zoe really took a liking to Kristine, and gave her multiple hugs and snuggles to say thank you!!!





Thank you so much, Kristine!!! We really appreciate it!!!!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
