Searching around for a place to have a birthday party for my son in the Poconos I could find very little information or ideas so I’ve compiled a list of places I’ve looked into before to give you some ideas. Keep in mind each location is “your kid” dependent. Are they really active? Do they [...]
Mount Airy will soon have table games available, the tentative date is currently set at July 13th. Also, a new smoke free room opened today which is welcome news to those of us non-smokers who hate to come home smelling like a cigarette. Plus, I’m sure for those who stop by after work for a [...]
It’s a day I never thought I’d see…they actually paved 715. If you’re a local you know that road is one of the windiest, bumpiest, most accident ridden roads in all of the Poconos. This past fall they started “work” which consisted of adding new grates on the side of the road. Well, whether winter [...]
Alright, so for many this might not be “news worthy” to most but keep in mind this is a blog, not CNN The “craze” of the middleschoolers right now is these simple plastic wrist bands called “silly bandz”. When my kindergartner came home and told me that he really wanted them a few months [...]

Last week my son got out of school early on Tuesday due to the weather. That night and into Wed we got about a foot of snow. Over the next few days we had snow showers then another storm hit on Friday and ended up with 2+ feet for the week. With the snow drifts [...]
After a VERY uneventful winter so far we look like we might actually be getting some REAL snow accumulations. We had 2 maybe 3 storms that actual required a bit of snow clearing – besides that it was some light shoveling but that was about it. There have been a few what they’re calling “coastal [...]

We got some much needed snow at the end of this week so it finally actually looks like winter again in the Poconos! The temperatures have dropped as well so it is a perfect weekend to hit the slopes. I’d take advantage of the cold and snow while we still have it – although I’m [...]
