Are you the best mom?!
Theo told me today. “Mom, you wanna know something?’
“Yes I do buddy, always.”
He lowers his voice a bit as if it might be a secret. “You’re the bestest mom.”
“Aw thanks honey. That’s an awful nice thing to say.”
Getting louder now. “No I mean it. Like better than all my friends mommies. SO much better.”
“Well I don’t know honey , we’re all good at different things. I bet Will thinks his mom is the best.”
“No, mom. YOU’RE the bestest. Even better than your friend’s that are mommies too. Like not my friends, your friends. THE BEST!”
At this point to argue is futile. I will just accept the title gracefully and say…
Suck it all you other muthas! I’m the BESTEST. Theo says so.
So there.

Great Wolf Lodge New England for the Holidays
Last weekend my family and I were asked to attend a Howliday sneak peek at Great Wolf Lodge New England! We got to experience Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all in one sitting!
First we started with Howl-o-ween. The kids decorated treat bags and got some candy from the witch. During the month of October kids will get in their costumes and participate in Spooktacular family activities such as the Trick-or-Treat Trail or Monster Bash Dance Party. It’ll be a howling good time! (Get it? Wolf. Howl?)
We had a Thanksgiving feast fit for KINGS I tell you. Every bit of it was delicious (between my husband and I we tried most of it ;-). And as a bonus it was all nut free!
Then they made it SNOW! Inside. The kids thought it was so cool. It was part of what will be called Snowland – From snow showers and twinkling lights in the Grand Lobby to gingerbread houses and enormous snowflakes. We had hot chocolate with handmade marshmallows, and the kids decorated Holiday cookies and basically got all hopped up on sugar. There was also a storytime and then a dance party. I suppose to account for the different levels of sugar intake ;-)
That was all just our blogger preview of the holidays! Everything else at Great Wolf Lodge was equally as awesome.
The Dunkin Donuts and a bar for adults -that’s the way to begin and end the day ;-) The buffet breakfast for everyone. And of course, of course the WATER PARK and everything in between our room and the water!
There are shops, a salon, arcades, indoor mini golf, a ropes course and so much more. Be sure to look them up on Facebook for deals!
We had so much fun and would definitely go back! Among the water parks around these parts it’s most certainly the leader of the pack (sorry I couldn’t help myself.)
This post (and my sharing on social media) was inspired by my participation in a program by Great WOlf Lodge. I have been given aComplimentary stay at the resort. Image used with permission. All opinions are my own.

I surprised my kids the other day with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge New England. I’ll have more about the trip this week!
Before we headed out I updated my Facebook status, as you do…
Let’s just say, I was right ;-)
Enjoy.

Yeeeeeeha the kids are back at school!
But that means that summer is ovah – OVER.
We had such a lovely, fun, idyllic, wonderful summer. Truly we did.
We spent lazy days at the pool and the lake in the beginning learning to swim and being with friends.We were so fortunate to be able to spend most of August away. And then come back to our little purple house and love it even more!
The last official week of summer we were supposed to go to Storyland but opted to move that to a nice fall weekend and spend some time at home getting reading for school to start.
So this was the highlight of week 10…
My husband and I get some well deserved kid free time. I don’t think I had been without the kids in 7 or 8 weeks. Like 24/7 Mom, mooom, mommy, mom, mama, mom, mama MOOOOOOOOOOOM 24/7.
So there you have it Summer 2014 in the books.
