Fall Checklist

September 25, 2022September 24, 2022 - Nina Bradley Clarke

Hello, fall 2022! As we embrace a new season ahead, we say goodbye to summer.

I have actually been feeling anxious about this fall as we have a jam-packed schedule. Bring on the hockey season! It is also sinking in that this is Charlie’s last year with us at home. Cue the mom tears! I am having all the feelings as we close out September. Blaine is turning 12 this week, leaving me wondering where did my baby girl go?! And speaking of birthdays, I have a very big one approaching that I am preparing for. More on that milestone soon! #Almost50

Mixing it up for Family Vacay

March 19, 2022March 18, 2022 - Nina Bradley Clarke

Charleston is best known for the amazing history, the charm, the architecture, the people…but it’s also known for all the amazing FOOD. If you’re heading to Charleston, get ready to eat and get ready to walk (Seriously, just bring cute sneakers and wear them day and night.) We usually go to Florida for spring break, but this year we decided to mix it up and go somewhere that our kids have never been before. I highly recommend trying a new destination on your next vacation.

Being a Good Sport

February 16, 2022February 16, 2022 - Nina Bradley Clarke

Last week I posted a photo of this sign on my Instagram from an ice hockey rink in Connecticut, and it seemed to strike a chord. It was honestly the best message I have ever seen posted at any athletic facility. If there is a way that we can get a sign like this to hang at every athletic facility in the USA, I’d say we go for it.

Here are my top five self-care ideas that always make me happy, so I hope this list will make you happy. Some of these also make great holiday gifts too.

Kids and Cell Phones

May 6, 2021May 5, 2021 - Nina Bradley Clarke

Thank you all so much for helping me via my Instagram as we dip our toes slowly into the shark pool of cell phones for our kids. Yes, it is true that we feel like we are literally the last ones to buy our son a phone as he turns 13. The majority of the kids his age have had a phone for a while now. It never felt right for our family until now.

What I’m Packing

We’re finally traveling again! We are going to visit my mom in Florida for spring break, and we can’t wait. It’s been a while since we’ve been on an airplane! What a roller coaster ride it’s been for everyone these past 12 months, but I truly feel now that better days are just around the corner. Here are a few essentials that I am packing for our trip to Florida. Question is, will we ever want to come home? This is my packing list.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to the start of 2021! What a whirlwind life has been lately. Not much has really changed since the new year started even though we wish things had changed! We are still wearing masks and my kids are home this week for virtual learning.

I have a few things on my mind as we enter this new month and this new year. Before I rush into setting goals for 2021, I am actually just thinking….just sitting…just “being”. I am also actually really tired as I write this so I am taking the start of the new year slowly this time instead of my usual rushing into it. (Aren’t we all really tired these days?) Here is my list of ideas to help me feel good in 2021. I hope this list helps you and I also hope you will add to this list and share it with me too. Remember we are #BetterTogether!

Girls’ Night Out…We Need It in 2020!

December 3, 2020December 2, 2020 - Nina Bradley Clarke

A much-needed girls’ night out with friends is sometimes just what we need to stay sane. The Lloyd Hotel in Stamford is a new modern designed boutique hotel with West Elm furniture. It’s located in the heart of downtown Stamford, CT. The Hotel is within walking distance to great shopping and great restaurants. I am so glad I was able to experience this new space recently for a fun and safe girls’ night out.
