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.

Live and Learn: The Baseboard Heaters

After having a plumber in, again, for various things, he asked offhandedly, "why my heaters were closed in the bathroom? and didn't I want the heat on in there?" It had been very cold in the bathroom. It turns out that the baseboard heaters had mostly been off. For five years. 

So now they are open and on.


Closed and Off.

Open and On.

And now I know.

When Jack gets Stuck


 Jack sometimes gets "stuck" in the bathroom, or thinks he does (the door doesn't actually latch). If he is scratching at the door, Mika will come and open it for him.

Jack and the Box


After Sam was told multiple times to clean up the Cheeze It box, Jack found it and decided to eat the leftovers. Of course, Sam filmed it before rescuing him and then set it to music.
