Ahh, vacation. We spend weeks and weeks anxiously awaiting your arrival, and then — in a flash — you come and go. We hardly got a chance to know you. Seriously, though, we had a fantastic week on Cape Cod. Sure, there were arguments and teasing and whining, but there was also laughter and lounging […]

Back-to-School Style with Carter’s (and a $50 Gift Card Giveaway!)

Time to get my head out of the stand (literally and figuratively!) and start thinking about back-to-school shopping.

Hello from Cape Cod!
Happy Sunday! We’re here on Cape Cod for the week for a little family vacation … and I think we ALL needed a change of scenery. The moment we stepped into our beach house, it felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders (Dr. G’s, too) and we all seemed to walk with more […]
