Growing up, we lived in the same house from the time I was about 18 months old until I was 18 years old and my parents left Providence for Smithfield. It was a three-story home, and we lived on the first floor. My bedroom was the one in the middle, right across the hallway from … Continue reading »
To start off my Week in my Life blog challenge, we were on the road driving back to New York from Rhode Island after a very relaxing and fun weekend. I didn’t snap any photos of the chaos of packing up, but here’s how the day basically went: 7:30 a.m. – kids awake. Mr. Acorns … Continue reading »

Well, it’s Monday again. Grumble, grumble grumble. This week is made infinitely better with my new Home Office planner that I received in the mail on Saturday. It’s a momAgenda planner, and I got the biggest one they make to keep in the house. It is WICKED COOL! Yes, I’m from New England. Sorry. For … Continue reading »

Eight years ago, Mr. Acorns and I became an officially married couple, making many family members happy that we were no longer ‘just living in sin’ like we had been for 5 years. Yes, those are baseball pennants we carried when we were introduced for the first time as … Continue reading »
