Our First Day in Maine

It rained all night and is really cool today - cloudy and windy with temps in the low 60s. That didn't stop us from getting out and exploring first thing this morning though! We headed out armed with sweatshirts, a picnic lunch and a map,


Our first stop was Wells Beach, which is under 2 miles from our hotel. We initially scoped things out from the stroller,



And then we walked a bit until we found a public access spot through which we could navigate the double stroller.


S&Z were ready to explore!







It was time for lunch so we set out to find a good picnic spot. We had passed Wells Harbor Park when driving around Drakes Island earlier in the day so we decided to head back there for lunch. Everybody was hungry after taking in so many new sights!




There was a really nice playground adjacent to the picnic area.



Then we walked over to see the boats.


Here is the view of Wells Harbor - quite a bit calmer than the ocean side!



It was a really nice, quiet little spot. We were the only ones there, which is pretty magical in such a tourist-y area!




After a really fun morning spent exploring, it was time to head back to the hotel for baths and a nap! Traveling with twin toddlers is really fun but also a ton of work. Time to sign off for a nap myself!

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!!!
