Birthday, Act II

We headed to the Children's Museum after opening presents to enjoy a fun birthday morning. We've never visited before, and were so happy to use the membership that my parents bought us for S&Z's birthday! The museum is set along the Boston Harbor, and all of the outdoor space is really beautiful.


We started our visit off in the Arthur & Friends room on the 2nd floor. Right when you walk in this room there is a plane and cockpit.


One of the coolest things at the museum is the green screen room!!!



You can dance and play on a green screen stage, and see yourself on TV with Arthur!


I got a picture of myself taking a picture ;-)


In The Common area of the museum there was a music hour going on.


There was so much to see, so we continued on our way and headed to the Countdown to Kindergarten room.



Right when you enter this room there is a school bus! Zoe was in HEAVEN!!! The kids get to pick what neighborhood to "drive" through, and there is a life-like video that plays what it would look like out the windows. The bus even vibrates like it's driving!


The last stop on our birthday visit was Peep's World, which is aimed at letting kids "investigate, observe and discover the wonders of the world". For S&Z's intents and purposes, this room houses the largest, most amazing water table they've ever seen!!!


After an amazing morning spent exploring and playing, everyone was wet, tired and ready for some lunch...


We are very excited to spend more time at the Children's Museum in the months to come!

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!

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!!!

Go-To Crockpot Meals

A friend of mine recently purchased a crockpot and is looking for some good recipes. As usual, I am posting my favorites with links here! Slow Cooker Pulled Pork - this is best served with cole slaw on top or on the side. Our favorite is Mann's Rainbow Salad mix, to which we add sliced red onion and diced granny smith apple, dressed with a good store-bought cole slaw dressing. It really takes the pork to another level! Crockpot Refried Beans - I prefer to use black beans instead of pinto beans. You can do a lot with a pot of beans - one of my favorites is quesadillas or baked tostadas with caramelized red onion and cheese of choice. Chicken Verde - so simple, use a jar of Trader Joe's salsa verde and serve over rice. Spaghetti Squash Curry - a great side dish to use in place of rice. Chickpeas in Curried Coconut Broth - need I say more? The last one is delicious but I have no idea where I got the recipe - I don't have a direct link in Pepperplate, so I'm pas...
