    The “Ask A Local” App From Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism
    Tweet I have lived in Massachusetts for around 12 years and have to admit that I still am surprised to find something new if I just took a different route than I normally take. I guess there are several hidden treasures to be discovered and though I like surprises I am more like the “I want to know it all” kinda girl. I am a Googler, a die-hard one at that....

    Curious George At The Zoo App (Free – Limited Time)
    Tweet I have said it time and time again, I love that crazy monkey and if you have been reading this blog you would know that by now. I find that George is closer to being like a kid than several of the kids in the kid shows on tv. Anyway, this is just a quickie post to tell you about this new app and the fact that until May 1st it is FREE! Picture courtesy of Houghton...

    Book People Unite Campaign By Reading Is Fundamental!
    Tweet There’s this new campaign making the rounds from Reading Is Fundamental called “Book people unite”. Now I don’t care if that is making public my geeky side but I wear that badge with pride. I have always loved reading, it has been my escapism from times while growing up in instability and allowed me to dream. The learning was constant and beautiful and...

    Do The DAHlicious Yogurt Survey And Enter To Win $50 Whole Foods Gift Card!
    Tweet If you know me, you know we are a family of yogurts. Even my kid with sensory issues who dislikes the sensation of it and the messy nature understands the importance of yogurt in the diet and has compromised with having the drinkable one with a straw or the frozen kind. Everything from the amazing filling nature of the protein in it to the wondrous nature of the...

    I’m Not Yet Done Growing Up…
    Tweet No seriously, I’m not done growing up! That might sound a little silly to you if you knew I was turning 40 this fall (yes, this girl is not ashamed to say it – I own it in fact). I remember being told I should be a doctor by my dad when I was still around 10 years old, and I had no idea where he pulled that out from. It may have been something to do...

    Peppa Pig, The Sweet Kid Show That Delivers Squeals Of Laughter!
    Tweet When I was asked if I would take a look at the new DVD Peppa Pig, along with some licensed toys, I already was familiar with the show. True, I had not watched it on tv (yet), but I am a huge fan of Kidtoons movies and I was pining after the Peppa Pig movie since it happens to be the show of April. My daughter who turned 5 this month will be celebrating the movie...

    My 1000th Post!
    Tweet I cannot believe this is my 1000th. No, seriously! I would never have believed that if my WordPress dashboard did not say so but this has made me take a step back and realize that 4 years ago I started on just journaling to not get crazy transitioning from being a software engineer to being with little people. I write this post from The Children’s Hospital...

    Rice Krispies Hidden Surprise Easter Egg Treats! (Giveaway)
    Tweet Photo credit: Kelloggs CONTEST CLOSED! Congratulations Joanne Major! You know the issue I have with so many recipes that look cute, almost ornament like, is that they are normally not edible. I hate waste and it is why I find it hard to make those gingerbread houses and not eat them. I love the fact that this recipe only uses all tasty ingredients which can only...

    L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Day (Win $100 L.L.Bean Gift Card)
    Tweet photo credit L.L. Bean CONTEST CLOSED! Congratulations Lynn R. When you think L.L. Bean, you think outdoors. In fact you barely open the main doors, where the handles are in the shape of oars, and you are greeted by kayaks. We know that if we are looking for quality products to survive  in winter we can head to L.L. Bean and we will find it. L.L. Bean is celebrating...

    Easter Treats At Trader Joe’s Supermarket!
    Tweet While  Easter is not really a religious holiday for me, it is a time I have grown up celebrating. It was the only time we would get marshmallow eggs, and hot cross buns (not those ones with frosting they have here – which reminds me I should make some). We did not really do all those real egg decorating, I could not imagine cooking so many eggs at one time...

    Blending Wines In Napa!
    Tweet For making wine, I have always had this romantic notion of grape stomping, a view obviously ingrained in my mind by the countless of movies I have watched. Blending wines, though, was something that never crossed my mind that it happens so I was pretty intrigued when we had to blend our own at Conn Creek Winery. This was one of the highlights for me at the Wine...

    Movies On The Little Screen!
    Tweet Several wonderful movies are releasing on DVDs soon and you may want to keep an eye out for them. I wanted to give a shout-out of a few that I particularly loved. Alvin and the Chipmunks We never saw the 1st movie but I have known about Alvin and The Chipmunks growing up and the last one Chipwrecked happened to come out at a time when my girls were the perfect...
