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!

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...

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...

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!!!
