I Don't Care What Kind Of Grass We Have Planted In The Yard, You Decide

As long as Johnathon has a yard he can play in instead of just dirt, I am happy.

I Don't Care What Kind Of Grass We Have Planted In The Yard, You Decide

Why should it matter the type of grass we have? I honestly do not care, but I am thankful I have such an incredible husband that wants our yard to be perfect and amazing. I don't blame him for wanting the dirt out of the yard, but I don't really care how he does it.

The past two months, my husband has bounced around the idea of putting centipede sod down or starting from seeds. The advantage of sod is it is there immediately, but when going that route it is way more expensive. Seeding is way cheaper, but if you're an impatient person, like my husband is, that can make you feel like it is going to be a lifetime before it is completed. In reality, which my husband now realizes, it only takes three seasons for the grass to fully take over from being planted.

A yard for my son to play in where he won't get extremely muddy is my only request. He is a boy, he is going to get dirty since that is part of growing up. The type of grass doesn't matter. I get that it doesn't need to die after being planted, but seriously pick a type of grass and stick to it.

First it was sod, then seeding, then zoysia grass, and then contractors mix. Then there was talk about sticking to sod. Having grass shouldn't be this difficult.

Seriously babe, I promise, I love everything you are doing for us and with the yard, so I am sorry if I come off the wrong way and get aggravated about it. I just don't see why you worry about it so bad sometimes. I think it is because you want it perfect which is sweet. Grass is grass to me, and it probably always will be. Thank you for taking it seriously. I am glad a lot of the yard has sprouting pieces of centipede all over. When it fully comes in, I know it will look amazing. Thank you.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
