Taking Pause
Yesterday, I wanted to catch everyone up after a week’s worth of giveaway posts (still time to enter and share them, by the way!), but I just can’t seem to get my feet under myself enough to write about happiness and joy. Like every other parent out there, the news from Sandy Hook elementary school shook…

Pink or Blue?
The last giveaway for this week is more of a fun little game I like to call I am 36 weeks pregnant now, which means we are no longer counting months, but are counting weeks until Peach is born and we finally get to meet him or her. Since we love the nine month…

Nantucket Massage Therapy Gift Card
If you live on Nantucket, I know you’re going to be super excited about today’s giveaway. I often talk about going to yoga classes (building my yoga practice is one of my Housewife Challenges, in fact) and about the fabulous Caitlin Marcoux who not only wows me with her amazing yogic abilities but also is…

Petticoat Row Bakery Giveaway
This is the post where I torture you with photos of amazingly delicious baked goods. If you have followed my blog for even 10 minutes, you know that I have one weakness (well, maybe more than one, but sugar tops the list), and you have seen this place in more posts and photographs than I…

Bartlett’s Farm Cookbook Giveaway

But I won’t lie, it’s taken me a while to adapt to eating on Nantucket where everything is more expensive, the growing season…

Jeanne van Etten & Nantucket Mermaid Giveaway
When I initially started thinking about doing a giveaway, the first person I thought to include was Jeanne van Etten of Nantucket Mermaid. I met Jeanne a couple of years ago at a networking event for Petticoat Row, our local women’s business association. I was new to Nantucket and just thinking of starting Papoose when…

Behavior Modification, Santa and the Elf on the Shelf
in MotherhoodIt’s the time of year where I’m due for at least one blog post about how we’re fumbling our way through winter holiday traditions and figuring out what works for our family. I wasn’t originally planning to write about about Santa today, although he’s been much discussed in our house over the past week or…

Oh, Hello…
Just coming up for air before diving back into a million and one website projects. I am juggling four websites right now and about to start another. I had hoped to stay right on schedule and complete each of my weekly websites on time, but other than the first one, all of my other clients…

30 Days of Thanks: Patience
Today started out exactly the way it ended, with meltdowns and tears over something seemingly pointless to an adult and yet very, very important in Nora’s three year old world. Like having leftover cranberry sauce cooked into her oatmeal after she said, “Yes, I want cranberry sauce in my oatmeal” or the fact that the blanket on her…
