Grasshopper Oreo Cookie Pops are the best and easiest treat for so many occasions. Better just dust off your super hero cape now, ‘cuz you’re gonna need it big time. These pops are just so incredibly yummy! It was Charlie’s 9th birthday last week. He’s a big fan of the mint chocolate combo. (Must take after…
Stars & Stripes
Memorial Day weekend: a great time to reflect on the Stars & Stripes, the blessings of freedom and liberty here in the USA… (If you didn’t get a chance to read the PWOC Hanscom Airfare Base post last week, catch up here and please leave a supportive comment for our wonderful military families.) “We on this continent should…
DIY Colander Flower Planter
Happy Memorial Day weekend, friends! Hope you have some fun plans for the long weekend ahead, looks to be beautiful weather-wise in New Hampshire. YAY!!! (And it’s about time.)

So what is an opu anyway? The cute Hawaiian children’s book, There’s a Monster in My Opu, by children’s author Karyn Hopper will give you the scoop.

When I Am 100
What will I do when I’m 100 years old? Great question, and so glad you asked. First of all, even though longevity runs in my family, it’s never even occurred to me that I might survive to be 100, be a centenarian. What with stress, preservatives, chemicals in the water, pesticides and pollution, I’m reminded…
Spring Massacre
(True story, unfortunately.) It was a zippity-doo-da New England spring day….the kind you only dream about in the dead of winter. Birds sang, the sun shone, the azure sky was dotted with lazy cotton ball clouds. It was 2004, the first spring in our new home, and we reveled in each emerging perennial. The red…
Music to My Ears
Just got back home from a beautiful evening. A wonderful but emotional night. Those of you who have more than one child may relate to what I say next. As parents, we love our kids equally. And yet each of our children tugs at our heartstrings a little differently. Jacob’s my second born of four,…
Busted (Yeah Me)
The gas light was NOT on when I pulled into the driveway last night. But when I turn the ignition key this morning? It is. Go figure. “Impossible” I sputter, cursing evil fairies that siphon in the wee hours. Busted (Yeah Me) by allie taylor Today’s a very special day, no extra time for a fill-up. And…

Virtual Toboggan Ride
Hi friends, hope all is well in your neck of the woods, wherever that may be. Perhaps green shoots are coming to life, pushing up from the earth, trees are blooming. I hope so, and how nice for you! (I do mean that sincerely, I can’t wait for spring to arrive.) Here in New England,…
