Visiting the real-life Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood
Family vacation week began with our first overnight trip since Shiloh was born. (Last trip was the beach before Asher could walk or talk). We picked a safe and comfortable option: spending the night with cousins. Asher vaguely remembered playing with Luke, so he was fairly excited about a sleepover there. The next morning, we…
Stone Harbor Beach 2019
I’ve been coming to Stone Harbor, NJ almost every year since I was 10. It’s a quieter town that is great for families. We brought Asher two years ago before he could walk or talk. I was 9 months pregnant at the time. So glad that’s over. The boys slept a good portion on the…

Making Blueberry Muffins
Asher helped bake blueberry muffins with lemon glosting (from Trim Healthy Mama) this morning after reading Jamberry (library book about berries). He ate half a muffin too. That’s a huge win. He usually hates the cake texture. We’re studying a unit on food as part of the Busy Toddler’s Playing Preschool curriculum. Summary
37th Annual Steam & Gas Show

There was a lot to see, plenty of shade, and free rides. The boys loved snacking on kettle corn, too! Asher referred to the…
Practicing Eating Out
Success! We seldom eat out. Partially budget, timing, nutrition – and also 2 boys under 3yo who are both always needing to move. Asher has food issues qualifying him for a feeding Specialist soon to work on his willingness for anything beyond french fries and granola cereal. We’ve had success at Chic fil a and Windy…
