Summer Camp Sign-Up

Summer Camp Sign-Up

It might only be February, but some summer camps are already advertising and taking enrollments. And for a few of them, if you don’t sign up early, you won’t get in. Last year my girls did a variety of different camps. Charlotte did the Pony Camp at Parky’s Farm and a Caregiver Art Spark camp.

#GoRed

#GoRed

In honor of Go Red for Women Day, everyone is dressed in RED. If you are not aware about heart disease, make yourself aware. It is the #1 killer of American women. For real. Read Mayhem’s blog today. Her mom had a personal heart scare. It could happen to any of us. Plus, check out

We have had very little snow days this year…one (early November)? Maybe two? But the second one wasn’t even for snow…I think it was more about temperatures and ice? Anyway, on our most recent snow day (weeks ago) my kids became BORED because there was no real snow to go out and play in and

Let’s Go X

Let’s Go X

Well, hello there. I’m still here. I haven’t forgotten about my blog. Not really. Although I had to LAUGH OUT LOUD because apparently LinkedIn sent a notification out to anyone I’m connected to stating “CONGRATULATE TRICIA! She’s been at Take 10 for 4 years.” And so I started getting all of these “Way to go!”,

Star Wars Workbooks

Star Wars Workbooks

I have to thank one of my neighbors for this great find. She posted a photo on FB of one of these AWESOME Star Wars workbooks. (About a month ago Andy showed the kids the entire trilogy over a weekend. Henry and Stella are now obsessed with all things Star Wars.) I immediately asked her WHERE

First Snow Day of the Season

First Snow Day of the Season

Our first snow day of the season was a success. I always assume I’ll get so much accomplished being stuck at home. HA! Although I did get quite a few things done, they weren’t the things I needed to focus on. The little people got in the way. But it was fine. They watched movies,

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

I have a dreaded feeling that this year’s Halloween is going to be as bad or even worse than last year’s. And that’s a major bummer. My Instagram picture from last year is above. Charlotte’s face says it best. We got caught in a downpour and gave up on the trick-or-treating for pumpkin pie and

Gabriel Brothers Annual Toy Sale

Gabriel Brothers Annual Toy Sale

If you are familiar at all with Gabriel Brothers and their annual toy sale, then all I have to say are two words to make you happy…IT’S HERE! If you are not familiar, you should make yourself familiar if you would like to save some money on toys for the holidays. The annual toy sale

The Tale of the Overpriced Costume

The Tale of the Overpriced Costume

Our usual way of deciding on Halloween Costumes? I point to the dress-up bin and say PICK ONE! Not this year… It should be no surprise that my girls wanted to be Anna and Elsa for Halloween this year. They declared it during last winter. But I thought it would go away. It didn’t. Stella has

Costco Toddler Elastic Waist Jeans

Costco Toddler Elastic Waist Jeans

My kids tend to live in sweat pants, leggings, and jeggings. I wanted them each to have at least one pair of jeans that fit them correctly. Last week at Costco I found these cute jeans for Charlotte. And then I noticed…ELASTIC WAIST!! Henry had a pair of jeans at home, but had the hardest time
