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 [...]

Take your kids to a college hockey game

Living near the University of New Hampshire, where my wife and I attended college…..and met, provides us a lot of opportunities, one of which is attending college sporting events. In most cases, college sports presents a relatively inexpensive way to acquaint our children with a variety of athletics such as gymnastics, volleyball, baseball, basketball, swimming, [...]

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. There are rolling green hills (white this time of year), friendly neighbors and fresh air. These are the things that attracted us to this town. Barrington is perhaps famous for Calef’s, an old fashioned country store [...]

Snow shoeing is great exercise and a fun family activity

My family recently discovered snow shoeing as a great family fitness activity. I was not sure if my kids would enjoy or have the patience for it.

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 [...]

Millo’s Pizza in Barrington understands the meaning of customer service

In this current economy, companies that understand the true meaning of customer service are the ones that will remain in business. We live in Barrington and like to order our pizza from Millo’s Pizza. However, the last two orders I placed with them – a pizza with feta cheese and chicken – were delivered without [...]
