There’s one bag that has saved my life (so far) this summer. (And - half of last summer!)
L.L.Bean’s Boat and Tote Bag.
I must look like a walking circus walking into our pool club. I’ve got the 4 boys. I’ve got towels and bathing suits and lotions and swimmies and goggles and pool [...]

My good blogging friend - Arianne - allowed me to video her FASHION DO while we were at SeaWorld together. She looked fabulous - and I knew I needed to get this FASHION DO on my blog!

There was craziness and music and noise all around us… !! But… hey, when you see a FASHION [...]

The Elevenmoms got to try out Mabelline’s NEW Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara.
I love me some fashion and beauty products to try out — so I JUMPED at the chance.
I’m not really a mascara wearing woman… I love what mascara does to my eyes, but it’s difficult for me to find that “perfect” mascara. So [...]

Ever since I started my series - 365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms - my personal blog has taken a bit of a back seat. I have become so immersed in finding and sharing fashion tips, that I haven’t been updating on the boys. As any mother knows, kids change so fast… and [...]

I saw my husband in the [...]

My husband loves to “wrestle” with the boys. As William and Alexander have grown older, they love to team up and “try to get Daddy!” as best as they can. And now Benjamin has come of age… he gets right in the middle of things, throwing himself into the mix.

I knew I needed to mail 4 packages, so I purposely waited all afternoon for Alexander and Benjamin to take naps… by 3PM, I knew these boys weren’t going to sleep. Especially since if they went down at 3PM, they wouldn’t fall asleep for [...]

Last year we were newbies.
This year. Oh, no. We were prepared.
We had M&Ms on hand. Milk in sippy cups and bottles. Michael Jackson playing “Can’t Stop Till You Get Enough.” And the promise/bribe/threat that Santa was watching.
With 3 photo ops… we got it.

We took these at home with our camera [...]

Yesterday I got to do something I never get to do.
Spend alone time with Benjamin, my 19th month old.
He’s 3rd in line among the men in my house. By nature he’s a bruiser. He’s rough and tough. Funny. Energetic. And loves, loves, loves chasing his brothers.
Yesterday my mother and father took [...]
