Photo Shoot!!

The other day was one of those really overcast, it could rain any minute kind of days!
My kids were all about being outside and play on the swings and blowing bubbles...there is nothing they love more on a windy day. (The think they are Peter Pan and Tinker Bell)
Someone told me that overcast weather is the best kind of days for an outside photo shoot...so I decided to bribe them into it!
With the promise of popcorn and mini marshmellows!











My kids are a handful, energetic, curious, imaginative, and fun.
My kids love each other...but don't worry they bicker and fight just like any other brother and sister.
Big brother is protective, a leader, and loving!
Little sister is bubbly, sweet, and sassy, and adores her big brother!
Their momma feels overjoyed and blessed to have these two wonderful people in her life.

I love them...all the way to the moon and back!

Hiking Croft Farm

With the amazing weather we have hadin South Jersey this Spring I have tried to take advantage of it and get some much needed outside time with the kids.
My mom let me know about a wonderful hiking trail right in the backyard of one of our favorite parks, Challenge Grove in Cherry Hill. This is something my mom and dad are great about. We used to take spontaneous day trips to state parks and just explore...one of my favorite things!
So I took her advice and on a BEAUTIFUL Saturday morning I packed a lunch and the kids into the car and heading out to explore.
We discovered some great trails and a lake with plenty of wildlife. Most importantly the kids were able to run and get dirty...one of their favorite things.
And, after we got a chance to spend sometime at the play ground.
The makings of a pretty great day!









Thanks Mom for the tip...keep them coming!

Getaway

Thanks to Living Social I was able to get a great deal on an adorable B&B in Lancaster County (Lititz, PA to be exact). The Swiss Woods Inn (check it out here)
This was our anniversary trip, even though our anniversary isn't until June.


We got to go hiking...











Meet the owners dog...if we could have smuggled him in our suitcases I think we may have tried!

And, do some shopping...

We even found our sons favorite Transformer!



It was a great getaway on a beautiful weekend.
I'm thankful to the in-laws for taking the kids so we could away!
