If you’ve ever started talking bloggy stuff to your non-bloggy friends, it’s usually met with blank stares, nods of indifference and maybe even a “you do that, why?” (Okay so I have a few friends who “get it” but that doesn’t help my point, so shush.) Having a bloggy bond with someone is a fast [...]

What is happiness? Well, I try to explain it through pictures over at Pretty*Swell’s blog today. Suzanne from Pretty*Swell is an awesome blogger with a love for etsy, motherhood and all things bacon! She was even a top 10 finalist in the Mabel’s Labels BlogHer contest a couple months ago. I’ve hung out with her [...]

The website of the North Carolina Office of Environmental Education is chock-full of useful information.

Little Roo on his first hike. Strapped into the Baby Bjorn and taking in the scenery. Does he look content or what? Stay tuned for a post about the hike…

Big Roo turned three in February and being 38 weeks pregnant at the time, I just couldn’t muster the energy to plan a birthday party for him. You have to know that this is VERY unlike me. I’m the mama who started a tradition of designing his birthday invites, the decorations and the party favor [...]

I’m Melissa. Most people call me Mel. I’m a mama to two boys and a lover of all things outdoors. I'm a marketing ninja who hearts good grammar. I also love Twitter, my Mac and all things techy.
This is Daddy Roo. We met in 1995, got married in 2000 and had Big Roo seven years later. Yeah, we like to take our time. Daddy Roo plays soccer, loves cooking more than I do and takes sarcasm to a level few people can. He’s awesome.
Big Roo is our 3-year-old ball of energy. He’s all boy except for the pink bear he carries around. I embrace the contradiction. He’s already a fan of hiking and camping.
The youngest of the Roo family. He’s already been on two hikes and loves gazing up at the trees from the comfort of his Baby Bjorn.
