Exploring our new home!

 Living in the northern Berkshires means lots of new places to explore!

Cool donut shops. Who doesn't like a donut? And a very old hot dog stand.










So much music and theatre here! Miko Marks, a black, female, country artist, was amazing! 


Sometimes I am totally jealous when I get a text from the fam while I am at work and they are at play! But, how cool that they can go bike riding.

Lots of neat antique and vintage shops. Check out this lamp!

Mt Greylock is 20 minutes or less. Just beautiful. 




















Matt's mom came for a weekend visit and got to explore new places with the kids! They visited Jiminey Peak, we went to an art museum, and had a great dinner!







We drove to Springfield one weekend and hit up 5 museums all close together!



















We visit a friend's farm! And ate and samples veggies. You would never know just how much space is behind their lovely home!

























The Girls took horseback riding lessons. They didn't really enjoy it. Which is great because that is an expensive sport! I think it was not about the horses and more about the teaching style....















Matt and I did a morning hike, just the two of us. There cows. Just out, grazing. No fence. It was an experience and the views were worth it!




















We went to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Lee, MA and I have to say, I have a whole new appreciation for the artist...


















It is a beautiful part of the country!

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith, I am sure that bloggers across the world are firing away about a news piece gone viral today. http://gma.yahoo.com/k-e-diet-brides-using-feeding-tubes-rapidly-080053646--abc-news-health.html In case this link is non-existent by the time you read this, long story short, people are using feeding tubes for rapid weight loss in a short amount of time. This is your mother talking. If for some reason this ridiculous trend is still around when you grow up, and you think about doing this to your self, please know that I will spank you and put you in timeout. You do not diet to fit into a dress, or suit. You pick an outfit that highlights your best attributes and get it tailored to fit your body, not the other way around. No matter what size you are, as long as your are healthy, not putting toxins into your body, and exercising, whatever size you are is beautiful and perfect in God's eyes because God does not make mistakes. There is a flattering de...
