Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

At the Zoo


Vivian was not impressed by the animals.  Or the noises that they made.  She was pretty scared : o.

This sums up our fall.  Someone sick every single week since September.  Praying this is the end of it!

Vivian at the Allergist

Our appointment today at Children's Hospital went much better than anticipated.  We did a prick test with Vivian at the allergist for tree nuts and peanuts and all looked good!  We have a order to get blood tests done to rule everything out, but I'm hopeful!  She also did pretty well, all things considered, and because we are going back to get the blood work, I even took them up on their order to get a flu shot.  One child done at least.


Chris came with me which was a big help and she didn't try to escape or have total hysterics, just minor hysterics when someone was actually touching her (or trying to).  The skin test takes fifteen minutes after the pricks, so we set up a dance party for her.  This was as she was winding down- her moves were much more lively for the first few songs.
