Celebrate Easter by attending a non-traditional egg hunt

My daughters love a good Easter egg hunt.  We typically attend our town’s festivities, the Newmarket Recreation’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt, wearing snow boots, but we’re hopeful for green grass instead this year.    My friends all have their favorite egg hunts around the state, and some, like our town’s, are traditional.  This year, however, there are [...]

South Mountain at Pawtuckaway State Park

We recently took a hike to South Mountain at Pawtuckaway State Park. We wanted to go on an easy first hike in the hopes that our four year old would enjoy hiking and we could do additional hikes this summer. We wanted to stay close to home, but do a walk that we have not already done. I found this hike [...]

Spend the day at Canobie Lake Park with mom this Sunday

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 [...]
