EASY homemade whipped cream & our love story!!

Hmmm…where to pick up? Our dilemma! Our love story. One reason I had joined the Navy was to put myself first, be independent & not depend on a man for my happiness. Now…completely out of the blue…I met someone that I have fun and can be myself with, who makes me laugh, that I can tell anything to…..and now I’m feeling deep stirrings of something other than friendship. It really was like a…

A Vermont Family Getaway

OK, I have a confession to make -- I've actually stayed at this hotel in the past. Long before I was Miss Magpie and long before it was the Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Ascutney Mountain Resort, I spent a weekend here. It may look sort of the same on the…

Being Better at Sugarbush

My first experience at Sugarbush was spring skiing in March, 2009. I remember that day clearly. I was enjoying après ski in the sunshine on the porch of Timbers when I met Win Smith, the omnipresent owner of Sugarbush. Since… Continue

The Three Hits of X-Mas Part Three: Going Godzilla For Quadrilla

About three weeks before Christmas I took Jackson to my favorite toy store to see if we were missing anything he might like. By the end of the visit I was pretty sure I was going to need a tranquilizer dart gun when it was time to make our exit. At The Dancing Bear my son encountered his favorite marble run ever. Quadrilla!! Jack is the proud owner of a few plastic marble…

Travel Tuesday - Nashville, I'm Coming to See You and Garth Brooks

To describe this week's Travel Tuesday, I'm stealing a line from Billy Joel, "You may be right. I may be crazy." Garth Brooks used to sing that song every night on his world tour in the early '90s. With that said, I've loved Garth Brooks since I was 13 years old. I've seen him in concert eight times...and was lucky enough to meet him in 1994. (I'll save that story for another… Continue

Travel Tuesday - Be Flexible

This past weekend, we packed up the girls and headed out to the weekly Riverside Arts Market. We try and get to the market at least twice a month. We enjoy checking out the local art, the featured music performers...and of course the food! We love supporting local farms and buying fresh fruits and veggies for the week. However, this week we missed out on the produce - thanks to a certain two… Continue

Travel Tuesday - Cruising

I've been daydreaming about cruises lately. I'd love to have a fruity drink with an umbrella in it and dance along with my cruise director to the Electric Slide. My parents are currently on their tenth cruise this week! Such is the retired life, I guess. To make matters worse, my Dad called this morning to tell me all about the great food. He kept raving about his favorite Reuben sandwich and how he enjoyed the ice cream buffet - clearly… Continue

Traveling with baby!

Last weekend we traveled to Chicago and Pumpkin came with us. I was totally freaking out about traveling with her via airplane and wondering if I was going to be "that lady" with the baby on the plane. So I got advice from a friend that traveled with her son (http://motherhoodintheindustry.blogspot.com/2009/09/bug-goes-to-vegas.html)and I talked to the doctor. As it turned out, I really stressed for no… Continue

Driving Lessons

It sounded like a good idea at the time.

I had read an article about these super-cool magnetic bumper stickers, CAUTION NEW DRIVER, and thought to myself. What a brilliant idea! Whenever I'm having my newly permitted child practice driving skills, I'll just slap it onto the back of the ol' van. Then all the other kindly drivers will be instantaneously aware and think to themselves, "Oh, look. How sweet, a new driver. I'll give him a nice, wide berth so he has plenty of room as he…
