Last night? Spaghetti night. Also? Bath night. For some reason, I just felt like letting the kids just get messy. After all, a thorough scrub-down was in the plan after dinner. They didn’t disappoint. Little Roo (with his fresh boo-boo under his eye) grabbed his plate and dumped it. And this is why I [...]

Out of the 100+ pictures I took for Easter, I narrowed it down to six to share with you. I’m sure you’re grateful because how many pictures of kids hunting eggs can you possibly look at, right?

Happy Hump Day, everyone! Today’s guest blogger is Debi from Go Explore Nature. Debi was one of my first blogging friends. I was new and timid, wondering “who on Earth is gonna read what I have to say?” Then Debi came along on Twitter, told me about the #playoutdoors hashtag and well, made me feel [...]

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…

… yellow ones to be exact. Apparently she dumps them out by the handful in the spring. Who knew I was so allergic to candy?

I’m a photo-holic. I’m always the one holding the camera and snapping a zillion shots at each little move (then I delete, delete, delete and only save the best thankyouverymuch). Looking back on pics from the past few Easters, I compiled some of the best moments to capture for Easter. Even if your camera is [...]

I snapped this shot just a couple of hours ago! There he was, perched on the fence in our backyard. Good thing my dog didn’t see him (he was upstairs snoring).

For Super Bowl Sunday, we piled leftover pork mole onto some tortilla chips, added some cheese, green onions, black beans, salsa and sour cream and – BAM- we had nachos! Big Roo thought it was fun that we sat up a table in the living room and ate in front of the TV. Good times.

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 marketer 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 4-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 loves eating kiwis, chasing his brother and swinging in our backyard. He also loves attacking his brother with a squeal of laughter.
