The Big Apple Farm

Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy invited us to visit The Big Apple Farm in Wrentham, MA yesterday. This is a spot that Wendy visited every year as a kid, so she started bringing the girls there last year. Because of the recent storm there wasn't any apple picking, but we had a great time anyway!

Inside the farm store they sell lots of apples and apple-related products, along with other produce grown on the farm. They have a big barrel full of free apples, so S&Z had their first go at eating an entire apple. The Paula Red's were so juicy and delicious that we bought a bag to bring home.


The grounds of the farm are really beautiful, so we spent the rest of our time there exploring.


There was a giant pile of wood chips that the Geist's were much more adventurous to climb than we were.


S&Z were all about the TRACTORS!!!!! Zoe in particular is really into tractors these days, so this was pretty awesome.


On our way home we stopped in the woods to have a picnic. It was a lovely end to a great morning!


After lunch the kids played at a nearby playground.


Many thanks to Wendy for inviting us on this fun outing!!!! We sure did enjoy our Paula Red's with breakfast this morning :)

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!!!
