I can’t even fathom how much it would cost to take our family of six to a NBA Indiana Pacers game with lower level tickets. I’m thinking it could pretty much pay for a vacation somewhere warm. But when six tickets were offered for FREE through a friend of Brad’s in his professional organization, we [...]

I’ve been reading Fifteen Minutes Outside: 365 Ways to Get Out of the House and Connect with Your Kids , (Thanks for the recommendation Emily!), and it’s been a great motivator in continuing to enjoy the outdoors with the boys as it gets late in the fall. It gives ideas for each month of things [...]

How does a family of six ride one bike? In style via a surrey, of course! We recently rented this set of wheels from Wheel Fun Rentals at White Water State Park and leisurely explored the canal downtown Indy. We weren’t sure if we could squeeze every one in to a single surrey, but we [...]

Do you like lists? I do simply for the pleasure of checking something off! {Confession: Sometimes I even write down things I’ve already completed just to check it off!} Although it was quite a memorable and enjoyable summer, it slipped away so quickly that I wasn’t able to do everything that I’d planned in my [...]

Most people plan an organized trip to our Nation’s Capitol filled with tours, sightseeing, museum visits, and other Kodak moments. However, when we faced with a less than 2 day trip to plan in a little over twelve hours, we were forced to sightsee by the seat of our pants. We didn’t have time to [...]

What a whirlwind of a trip to our Nation’s Capitol! If we didn’t have the pictures to prove it, we might have thought it was all a dream. In less than 24 hours, we booked airline tickets, hotel, arranged a night in Annapolis with a friend, and found 3 sets of babysitters for our [...]

I love being home with my boys. I love having family meals at the kitchen table. I love playing with the boys in the backyard. I love my comfort pad that I affectionately call HOME. But I also love to GO! We break out of these walls quite often to run errands, or just for [...]

We had an awesome time camping last week, thanks to your advice and suggestions on surviving our first camping adventure. Our boys were thoroughly entertained by the great outdoors, and we never heard a complaint on being bored or wanting to go home. Next time they said they want to camp for 5 weeks…not sure [...]
