Wednesday June 2, 2010This weekend marked our 12 year anniversary. We celebrated by having a yard sale and convincing some friends to keep the kids (overnight!). Once we were footloose and fancy free, we cashed in on two Groupons I recently scored. Without telling Mike our destination, I directed him into Clarendon where we found street parking. A [...]

Saturday April 24, 2010Today has been a low-key, kick it around the house, kind of day. While we were in the backyard this morning, I reminded Mike that we should take a picture of his motorcycle so we could list it on Craigslist. He agreed, and so we did. His bike is a 1998 Honda Hawk GT 650 [...]

Wednesday April 7, 2010Date Night is important, but unfortunately, there’s no money in the budget right now for babysitters. So we had to get creative and improvise. The way we currently achieve “Date Night” is by designating one night of the week as Date Night. It’s currently Tuesdays. We told our kids (ages 6, 4 and 2) that [...]

The good thing about the cabin was it was free, not too far away, and “rustic” enough that it was okay for everyone to bring their 17 dogs (I exaggerate, a tad). The [...]

Friday November 20, 2009It’s our birthday too! Tis the season when the birthdays come fast and furious in our house. Daddy had his earlier this month and we celebrated by going to one of our favorite restaurants: SweetWater Tavern.

Wednesday October 14, 2009Last Thursday was a parent teacher conference day and we lucked out with an early conference time. Mike took the day off, so after hearing how brilliant our kindergartner is, we took of for a fun day at Cox Farms. We’ve been going for several years and always have a blast. It’s typically cooler and [...]

Monday September 7, 2009As if our summer vacation wasn’t full enough, we had the opportunity to go to Kings Dominion the day we got back from our New England Vacation. Grandad’s work takes the employees and their families every year to Kings Dominion for the day, and for the past few years, we’ve managed to weasel our way [...]
