By Kristen Eriksen I have to admit, this winter has been so mild that I’m really missing the snow. I do not, however, miss feeling cooped up with the twins. Last winter was a bit tough, so I began searching for places to go that were indoors, without breaking the bank. With school vacation week, [...]

Help for Kyle
By Sabina Chen In December, I received an email from a friend. Her co-worker’s 4-year-old son was diagnosed with a rare blood disease and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant. This little boy, Kyle, is half-Chinese and half-Caucasian, and finding a match for him is a challenge. Would I please help spread the word? Kyle [...]

Nap time
By Jessica Del Llano Who doesn’t love a nap? I’d take a nap every single day if I could. And these beautiful little children we bring into the world actually get that chance, and what do they do with it? They WASTE it! My 2 ½ year old daughter, Sara, has begun resisting nap time [...]

‘Happy’ Birthday Party Locations
By Kristen Eriksen A friend of mine asked me about suggestions for childrens’ birthday party locations, and, more specifically, what I thought about Chuck E. Cheese. I have not been there in years, and the twins don’t know what it is. Honestly, I hope it stays that way for a while! No horror stories here, [...]

Bidding Adieu
By Dawn Thompson My Grandmother and her siblings grew up in one of the first foster care systems in Massachusetts. Although she was grateful for food and shelter, she was always sad to have never been adopted. She wanted nothing more than to belong to a family. She couldn’t change the past, but she did [...]

By Heddi Nieuwsma My 7-month old is eating solid foods now, and I’ve mostly been feeding him homemade baby food. With my first son however, we primarily served store-bought food.

A Step Back into the Middle Ages
By Sue Anganes One way that we ended 2011 and started 2012 was with a family membership to the Higgins Armory in Worcester, MA. The museum is less than an hour away from Lowell, and unlike the museums in Boston, you do not have to fight traffic to get there. The museum was once the [...]

The Dreaded New Year’s Resolution
By Jessica Del Llano Ah yes, the dreaded New Year’s Resolution. For the first time last year, I made an actual list of the things I hoped to accomplish in the new year. I’m sorry to say only two of them came to fruition by year’s end, but in the spirit of “try, try again,” [...]

Time is Not On My Side
By Amy Dienta The longer I’m the mom of two kids, the harder it seems to get anywhere on time with everything we need. My oldest son has soccer practice, cello lessons and other after school programs. I’m lucky if we get to these on time with our cello and music book, or with the [...]
