Space

Posted by Jessie

This is a picture of our car packed for vacation. And oh, is it packed. I am not exactly sure what we will be doing that requires this much krap. But rest assured (as my friend Molly pointed out) we will be well hydrated. Or drunk driving on a Disney Princess scooter. The sound of [...]

Pool Fatigue

Posted by Jennifer

The 4th of July is the grandest holiday in the summer season at our town’s swimming pool. First, there’s a small parade of old cars, old politicians, young Scouts, a rag-tag band of musicians, and a huge flotilla of kids on anything with wheels.  The kids and bikes, scooters, and strollers are all gussied up in red, [...]

I Vant to be Alone

Posted by Emily

For those MoB readers who are married with offspring, a question: What is the longest time period you have spent away from your spouse and children? Surely we all can say hours, most of us can claim to a day or two, but I wonder how many can say “a week”? If you can’t, you [...]

The Top 10 Timeless Beach Moments

Posted by Emily

We were at the beach these last few days. The beach is absolutely timeless. While almost everything about the way our children play and interact with the world has changed drastically in the last century (and promises only to evolve further), playing at the beach is the same wonderful experience it has always been. They [...]

Weekend Thriller

Posted by Emily

As the East Coast MoB readers know, the weather this 4th of July weekend sucked. My family and I could have succumbed to multiple movies, the mall and indoor rock climbing. But Dave and I are weekend warriors. (And we know that three days of indoor family togetherness would put any Fox reality show to [...]

Family Vacation or Sleepaway Camp?

Posted by Jennifer

Summer time. Family vacation, or a chance to pack the kids off to sleepaway camp so Mom & Dad can have some peace and quiet? Traditionally, we’ve done the family vacation. The truly classic American summer family vacation is the camping trip. Below, Rocky Mountain National Park. The #1 advantage of the family vacation is [...]

Shockingly, We’re Going to Disney World

Posted by Jennifer

The following is a heretical statement. I’m a Disney hater. OK, “hate” is too strong a word. But our children have been raised with an unspoken credo: Trail tromping trumps teacup twirling. This motto is unspoken because it sounds ridiculous…and also I just made it up. But you know what I mean. None of us [...]
