Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program for Kids

Thanks to Barnes & Noble, kids in grades 1-6 have the opportunity to win a free book when they read eight books between May 26th & September 7th, 2009. Getting my kids to read over the summer can sometimes be a hard task. This program makes it fun for children to continue reading even when school [...]

Quality time spent at The Children’s Museum of NH

I recently enjoyed a morning visit to The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover with my youngest son. Mornings are the best time to go since they fill up quickly with school groups and young children with their moms. In 2008, the Museum relocated from Portsmouth to a larger facility in Dover. They have [...]

Help support the Barrington, NH recreation department

Barrington, New Hampshire is a small, bedroom community nestled between the seacoast and capitol city. There are no shopping malls.

Barrington is perhaps famous for Calef’s, an old fashioned country store [...]

Start a new tradition – make Friday nights about family

If your kids are like mine, then they love to cook and create too. Every Friday night at our home is family night. Usually we rent a movie and the kids will get out their sleeping bags and set them up in front of the TV. They also bring down as many stuffed buddies from [...]
