Shaz by the Sea

In light of everything awful and devastating going on in the United States and well, the world...it was really refreshing to escape to Cape Cod and sit on the beach with my innocent little children. This past weekend was very relaxing and exactly what I needed. However, I can't help but think of the victims and families in Orlando. It is heartbreaking and simply the worst thing in the world. My heart goes out to them and the entire LGBT community. #lovewins Let's not forget monumental strides like this one last June . It certainly makes me count my blessings and should put things in perspective for everyone. Thankfully for us, my boys are healthy and they were in great moods all weekend. Saturday, the boys spent the day with Nana and Gramps. Jim wanted to mow the lawn, install the shed, and fix the grill. I went to yoga in the morning and ventured down a few hours after everyone else. I don't remember the last time I drove down the Cape without C and C! On the way, I...

We went to the Cape again this weekend. The weather was nice and we had a great time. We did last minute things for the renters - like set up the outdoor patio furniture outside, as well as installed the A/C unit in case it gets real hot before we get down there next. We visited lots of beaches from Craigville, to Kalmus, and Keyes, and of course Veteran's Beach. I think the boys like Veteran's the best because of the swings. :) Here we are walking back from brunch on Main Street. Here's a recap of our weekend, Day ONE: I'll be honest. I packed the bare minimum for the weekend when it came to food - a few pouches, sippy cups, yogurt, milk, any open cereal box I could find, and leftovers and fruit that wouldn't last til Sunday. I usually bring a loaf of bread and some cheese or peanut butter, but I skipped those this round. Instead, I went food shopping prior to taking off for the Cape and bought some corn on the cob. It looked delicious! My plan was...

This may be the first Cape trip of many, but I wanted to document and share with you our fun day yesterday! Granted today the boys woke up with head colds and runny noses at 5am, haha, but that doesn't take away from our fun day together yesterday. Here we were - all packed up and leaving Woburn! Caden was being hilarious photobombing all my selfies. They are so familiar with the Cape now. When we arrive, I take them each out of their car seat and they walk up to the front door like bosses. They're like "yup, made it to the Cape" and it's business as usual. They adapt so well and love all the toys we leave here since they don't seem them for long periods. Then when I told them we were going to go in using the side door - we all walked together to open the door and go in the house! It was a bit chilly and foggy/misty here yesterday, so I put on their adorable new anchor sweaters. I bought them at Primark in downtown crossing for a great price. T...
