MP will admit it, she loves Mother’s Day. It’s like having a birthday all over again. She’s treated to breakfast in the morning, homemade cards from the kids, and the family road trip of her choice. Sometimes, if she’s been an especially good Mom, there might be a small gift waiting for her at the [...]

If there’s one event that will put your family in the Halloween spirit, it is this weekend’s Camp Sunshine Pumpkin Festival at L.L.Bean in Freeport.

In August, CP#2 joined MP on a scouting trip to Lewiston-Auburn. Our first order of business was a visit to The Library Café, located at the Auburn Public Library. MP fell for the space immediately.

MP is a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to shopping for the kids’ fall and winter clothes. She’s the mom who shops for coats when the thermometer drops below 40º. Sometimes waiting to the last minute pays off in form of a sale. Par exemple: this Friday and Saturday’s Polarn O. Pyret Sample [...]

The Cute Potato team survived a long road trip from Maine to Ohio with the help of some travel-friendly art kits and a great children’s album, plus a few stops for ice cream. We don’t have video in our Subaru, so MP and DP are dependent on books, music, and games to keep the kids [...]

Summer is officially here! MP can enjoy a cup of coffee and a good novel in the early morning hours while the kids sleep in. There are several books on MP’s list, but she couldn’t resist reading J.
