<br />
these days, my hubs and i, still like to go to festivals and try are best to make a few favorites over the summer. however, things are quite different now with two little ones in toe. we have all seen or possibly have been that family with unhappy kiddos in a place that is suppose to be fun. unhappy kiddos makes for unhappy parents. in an attempt to avoid family meltdown we do are best to make our outings enjoyable and memorable. of course, there is a little bickering along the way, but that's to be expected. we have also observed and learned a few tricks from other adventurous parents.<br />

<br />
1. make a PLAN. i can't express this more. if the venue has a website read it. all of it. from the home page to the FAQ. you can learn a lot about what is allowed and what is not allowed. if a website is not available try GOOGLE and social media. you can gather info. from other sources and people. if the event is considered family friendly you can usually bring a good amount of what you will need for the day.<br />

2. fluids. okay, so we all know that staying hydrated is important so make sure you and crew drink plenty of water. in addition, sip on sports drink, like gatorade, which contains sugar and electrolytes like sodium and potassium that your body is also loosing under the hot sun. offer little ones and other family member something to drink often. i forget this myself, but keith is great at reminding all of us to drink up.<br />
<br />
3. always bring food. even if it has to stay in the car. a snack before you head in can keep everyones stomach in check for a bit. and snacks after can ease a long wait in traffic. if the venue allows food inside bring as much and you can tote along. at a minimum i regularly pack three to four snacks each and lunch. we always have our little one bring a backpack. even the smallest packs can hold a few granola bars and piece of fruit. quick breads are one of my go-to am snacks. the day before we plan on going on a day trip or outing. i try to get one on the oven. banana walnut and blueberry walnut are our favorites. i usually make sure everyone gets a hardy slice either in the car or shortly after arrival. other go-tos are apples, mixed nuts, carrot sticks, a container of fruit salad and/or cucumber tomato salad and some kind of salty treat like a big bag of hard potato chips. we also make sure to bring some cash for a few sweat treats like dell's frozen lemonade, homemade root beer or ice cream. and if we are still at an event during dinner time we hit up a food trucks or stand.<br />

4. sun and ear protection is a must. lots of sunscreen applied a few times a day, sunnies and sun hats. if the event does not provide a shady area to take a break from the sun. i recommend bring a sun shade or beach umbrella if allowed. we own a kelty sun shade and a big old beach umbrella and both get good use through the summer months.<br />
<br />
i also carry bandanas for the whole family. we wet them for cool cloths, wear them to protect exposed skin from sun and if needed wipe a rose nose. we add a change of cloths into the pack for accidents or layering, thin long pants that can be rolled, a long sleeve tee and sweater.<br />
<br />
new little ears are super sensitive. sound muffling headphone or molding ear plugs work great for protection those new ears from load music or crowds. long days can get boring so we always bring small toys, like match box cars, harmonics, bubbles, beach ball, etc.<br />

5. consider arrival time and departure. if you can swing it and get your S-H-I-T together i recommend arriving early. most likely you will beat the inbound traffic, making for a less stressful entrance, and a quick exit at the end of the event. sitting in grid lock with screaming kids if not the way you want to end your day. once in the venue always find a seat reasonably close to the bathrooms. little ones and pregnant mamas can't hold it as long and frequent the potty more often. don't be in a rush to leave if the kiddos are content. staying a little later and taking your time as things wrap up can make for a more relaxing exit.<br />
<br />
6. finally consider your child's age, personality and what you want out of the experience. if you are not okay with chancing around a newly walking toddler during your favorite bands set then leave the babe at home. you want everyone to have a good time so make sure your child will enjoy the experience was much as you if you toe them along. remember to take things slow, lower expectations and make sure you get good night sleep the night before.<br />

if you do this a few times a year you will develop a go to plan with items that you know you have to bring along for a happy day. building excitement up to the event is also a great way to ensure a good time is had by all. read books, listen to music, taste foods, etc. whatever you can do to make the event relatable to your little one will help with the fun factor.<br />
<br />
whatever your adventure, enjoy! good or bad, if it isn't funny now it will be in a few years.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04900444071715846202noreply@blogger.com0Newport, RI, USA41.4901024 -71.31282850000002341.3949424 -71.474190000000021 41.5852624 -71.151467000000025tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690816337868730358.post-91375204129862905952016-09-12T19:00:00.001-04:002016-09-12T19:00:04.696-04:00Down By the Bay<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the days are getting shorter and my nephews returned to school a few weeks ago. i can't believe summer is slipping away and fall is already upon us. the summer was a little bit of a blur with the anticipation of a new baby and an overwhelming number of appointments. but i hope these boys remember the time they spend together, exploring, being silly and enjoying the warm weather. they are all such great ages. i would like to freeze them in time. the oldest, is a creative storyteller that capture the imagination of the younger two. the middle, is a mover keeping everyone else on their toes. and the youngest, is an observer always aware and curious of the things around him. </div>

just like that we are a family of four. kingston is beyond thrilled and mama and dad are smitten with this little nugget. two weeks ago we welcomed baby bodhi and could not be happier. he poops, pees and sleeps an awful lot, but we still like him. kingston has been reading to him, holding him and helping out when mama needs a wet cloth, diaper or binkie. kingston is really taking his big brother roll to the next level which makes my heart skip a beat. i forgot how wonderful it is to have a newborn. and one that sleeps well is a total bonus. bodhi you are a dream. </div>

the week before the new baby arrived i attempted to spend as much quality time as possible with my two favorite guys. keith and i even snuck in a date night to newport for dinner, walking thames street and ice cream. i love ice cream but i do miss a good cocktail. also, i have been taking the cub the out as much as possible too. mostly morning since i usually have to get my feet up by early afternoon. he has been so good about letting me rest and playing on his own. he is going to make the best big brother. okay baby... i think we are finally ready for your arrival. now for a little bounce on the bed to get things moving. </div>

i have all of a sudden felt guilty for not documenting this pregnancy as i did the first so in these last few week i have been snapping away. kingston has been my loyal assistant which has added an interesting complexity to the process as you can imagine. we have to compromise over control of the the camera remote and height of the camera stand. he like to be the subject and then switch to the photographer. at first it was hard for me to let him lead the process. but finally i came to the realization that i was going to have to go with the flow on this one. the images come out far from perfect but we have a good time and that is all that matters.<br />

we celebrated father's day with a relaxing weekend. saturday morning we checked out the <a href="http://www.aquidneckgrowersmarket.org/home/">aquidneck island growers' market</a> for the first time. keith bought some bacon from <a href="http://patspastured.com/">pat's patured</a> for sunday's breakfast which was delicious and i found a stand that carried great mosquito repelling plants. we purchased some lemon balm, citronella geraniums and basil for the backyard. the sweet lady running the stand even let our cub pick out a sunflower plant to take home. he is doing a great job of taking take of it so far. later we stopped by <a href="http://www.originalwaterbrothers.com/">waterbrothers</a> for a new t-shirt for dad, tacos for lunch outside under the tree at <a href="http://perrosalado.com/">perro salado</a>, then headed home for an afternoon nap and a snuggle wrestle as our little one likes to call it. please excuse the serious bedhead we are all rocking in most of the pictures.<br />

keith and i have been doing lots of work around the house. he has been busy cleaning our yard that seemed to get totally trashed over the winter. i have been in side the house cleaning and weeding our stuff like crazy. the past two year we have practiced "march minimalist madness" where we each place something we no longer need or want into a box for the goodwill each day. somehow we missed most of march so i have been doing my best to catch up. a few weekends back we were both in need of a break. the weather was perfect for our first beach day of the year and a little bike riding. the sun was warm, the breeze was cool and we were all quite happy and content enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. i wish all sundays were this easy.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">every march we spend a week in mt. washington valley. we love this time of year in the white mountains. the bitter cold winter has usually subsided and gentle cool spring weather begins to settle in which is great for spending time outside. most years we even luck out and a fresh coat of snow covers the mountains. this year, however, the weather was unseasonably warm. we saw 60 degrees several days over the week. this is nice in theory but these conditions make for muddy icy trails. good thing we were prepared... well most of us. at the end of last season i purchased kingston the smallest micro spikes i could find at the trading post. i knew he would be spending more and more time out of his carrier in the upcoming year. he looked so cute in his boots and gear. Here is our road trip in photos.</span></div>

easter is early this year, which i hope means warmer weather is soon to come. in the meantime i will take the longer days and the celebration of spring even if it is still rainy and cool. like so many of our holidays, we celebrate with family, friends and good food. don't get me wrong i love good food and sweet treats, but in an effort to balance the good with the bad and avoid the sugar crash i have been looking for ways to have a more eco friendly and slightly healthier holiday.<br />
<br />
i found so many great ideas floating around the web, plastic egg alternatives, non-candy egg fillers, beautiful crafts and limited candy fill basket ideas. realistically we don't except to a have a candy free / plastic free easter, however we would like to minimize the amount of these things. Here are a few of my favorite links that i found.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.growingagreenfamily.com/alternatives-to-plastic-easter-eggs/">growing a green family</a> has wonderful ideas for non-plasic eggs and a <a href="http://www.growingagreenfamily.com/green-easter-tips-2012/">list of great links</a>. i love the hollow wooden egg. the wooden eggs can be <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=natural+dye+wooden+eggs&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi72czz9q7LAhWMXh4KHfj8CRgQ_AUICSgD&biw=1056&bih=1062#imgrc=_">dyed</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=natural+dye+wooden+eggs&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi72czz9q7LAhWMXh4KHfj8CRgQ_AUICSgD&biw=1056&bih=1062#tbm=isch&q=painted+wooden+eggs">painted</a>, or drawn on with marker. we were thinking of arming kingston with some markers and let him create. we will add to the collection each year since it is a pricier alternative. (we will also dye real eggs, but i find that activity is tough for little kiddos.) this family has the right idea over at <a href="http://craftknife.blogspot.com/2009/04/we-have-easter-eggs-but-he-has-secret.html">craft knife blog</a>. they purchase solid wooden eggs which are more economical and decorated them. i have been thinking these are also a great alternative to the plastic egg hunt. upon return of each egg the child would receive a prize, pick a prize from a basket or number them for a more orderly game. the daily pea dyed her wooden eggs <a href="http://www.dailypea.com/eco-friendly-egg-hunt">here</a> and <a href="http://www.dailypea.com/natural-earth-paint-wooden-eggs-kit-review-giveaway">here</a> and <a href="http://www.designmom.com/">design mom</a> put together the sweetest <a href="http://www.designmom.com/2012/04/diy-little-farmer-easter-baskets/">little farmer easter basket</a>. maybe we will do this next year. she really has the best ideas. check out her <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/designmom/">pinterest</a>. i could go on and on so i have pinned these ideas and more here: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/campanywhere/e-a-s-t-e-r/">e a s t e r </a>. hope you have a happy, healthy, earth friendly holiday.<br />

we thought for sure we were going to get tons of snow this winter and bitter cold temperatures. however, jack frost has been gentle on us so far this year. little snow and the fluctuating temps have us spending more time outside this winter season than last. <br />
my parents live near an old over grown farm, which creates a great wooded are for the boys to explore and play. if only we could get all kiddos to agree on how to spend that time outside. the youngest wants to hike and shovel, the middle wants to sled and the oldest wants snowball fights with his uncle. in the end they enjoyed all three activities and walked home content and happy. as for me, i am secretly wishing for another small snow storm before spring.</div>

keith and i have been putting off changing this nursery to a "big boy" room for months. i have defiantly not been in rush, but now it is time. we decided to skip the toddle bed, because kingston is tall and spends a lot of time in our bed. he has never really had a problem getting in and out or rolling off. we acquired a twin bed that is a hand me down from my grandmother. i think it is going to all workout nicely. but before we start changing things around too much i wanted to document this little space. change is hard for me so i will try to keep it together. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">6/52 our cub: this big brother to be is pretty excited to finally be getting a sibling. he refers to the baby in my belly as "his baby". when he first learned of this baby, a little over a week ago, he asks if he could hold the baby. so we told him mama's belly is going to get really big and the weather warm before the baby can come out. now he </span><span style="text-align: center;">asks almost everyday if my belly is big.</span><span style="text-align: center;"> six months is a long time to wait for a three year old. he will probably be totally over the idea once our new additions arrives. </span><br />

february is here! not that we go too crazy on valentine's day, but i do like giving my loves a small gift, baking a festive treat and cooking up something fun in kitchen. last year i gifted my little one the plan toys fire truck and a pair of pocket stix. i couldn't decide between the two. this year he saw the scoots fire track and has been asking about it. i guess another fire truck it is this year. however, i have been adoring some of these other little gifts above. here is quick gift guide of my favorite items for your littlest love.<br />
