Friends at the Farm

Derek & I have wanted to go back to Drumlin Farm since becoming Mass Audobon members this summer. The forecast looked good for this weekend so we made plans to go this morning. We love this place so much that I decided to invite a couple of friends who have never been there. Timery & Jason (15 months old) made the drive over from Ipswich and Iris, Steve & Peter (13 months old) came from Cambridge. I had a playdate with Wendy, Sydney & Ivy yesterday and they decided to join us too!

I have worked really hard to create a great circle of mom friends, but unfortunately most of them don't know each other. I have often thought that Timery & Iris would get along, and Wendy has been a close friend since the kids were born, so I was excited to finally get them all together!

L-R: Steve, Iris & Peter (in arms); Dave, Ivy (in arms), Wendy & Sydney (in arms);
me, Zoe & Silas (in stroller); Timery & Jason (in stroller)

In total, there were 7 adults and 6 kids, so we were quite the crew!





This is such a great spot for kids this age! They all LOVED it!








Last time we visited it was raining, so it was great to see what else the farm has to offer outside of the barns.


We enjoyed a picnic before heading back to Boston. What a wonderful day with friends!!!

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...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
