I Like it a-Latte

by sarahon February 15, 2012Leave a Comment on I Like it a-Latte

A few years ago I watched with envy as my cousin bought one of those fancy espresso machines that makes any coffee drink with the push of a single button, including milk-based ones like lattes. We have a more labor intensive one that is fine, but it requires a lot more work. That machine was …

I am proud to report that this blog, The Will to See, is featured in the October issue of Disney’s FamilyFun Magazine. I know, I am so excited too. Look for the photo of the boys and me in the Mailbag section on page 11. In July, I was contacted by FamilyFun regarding their use …

Our Heroes – Lego Hero Factory

by sarahon September 8, 2011Leave a Comment on Our Heroes – Lego Hero Factory

Jack received several Lego Hero Factory toys for his birthday in January. At the time, I didn’t know anything about them. I was afraid that they would be similar to traditional Legos that have thousands of pieces and have to be “played with” gently or they fall apart. Don’t get me wrong I love the …

Our Summer Soundtrack

by sarahon August 22, 2011Leave a Comment on Our Summer Soundtrack

The boys love music and dancing, as evidenced by Jack’s birthday party theme and dance videos I have posted. Since Jack got his iPod last Christmas they usually have something playing all the time. Jack and Will pick and choose the songs, often listening to the same ones over and over again. Unfortunately in my …

My Mom Book

In the May issue of Real Simple magazine, there was a great article about the Mom Book. The book has been made by her kids over time. A couple times through the year they make a new “entry” in it and give it to her as a gift, like at Mother’s Day, Christmas and her …

Sometimes its about me

by sarahon March 2, 2011Leave a Comment on Sometimes its about me

Not very often, but sometimes it is about mom. Today’s post is one of those. A couple months ago I decided I needed to update my frumpy mom style. I was finally close to my goal weight (are we ever actually at our goal weight or do we always wish we were 5 pounds lighter.) …
