The Pomegranate Chronicles

Griffin made an awesome bug catcher at school. Over Spring vacation we decided to put it to good use. We headed up to the Great Bay Discovery Center to see what we could find. He got a little annoyed that the ants were too fast to catch. So he moved onto beetles. He tried so hard, [...]

A spur of the moment trip to Montreal found us driving through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I grew up visiting these beautiful mountains, but each time I visit, I am always in awe of their beauty.  I found one mountain with some “white” on it! Of course, we couldn’t pass through Franconia Notch [...]

We recently visited one of the coolest restaurants around. It’s called STREET and is located in Gallaghers Plaza on Islington St. in Portsmouth NH. It is a fun concept for a restaurant. The menu is themed with “street” food from around the world, while the atmosphere is open and airy with details of “street” art. The tables [...]

It seemed people really enjoyed my “butterfly” moment so I thought I would post a few other shots from that day. We really had a beautiful day in Prescott Park, Portsmouth NH. We walked the gardens and played Frisbee. While touring the gardens we even saw “Peter Cotton Tail” hopping around. Griff kept saying he [...]

Last year we attended our first “American Independence Festival” hosted by the town of Exeter, NH. This year, we were excited to watch the festivities play out again. George Washington made his way into town. The kids kept busy with sticks while the Declaration of Independence was being read. I have to hand it to [...]

Fun-filled days of weekending found us on some beautiful adventures last Sunday. It started with a great lunch at BG’s Boathouse in Portsmouth. It’s the perfect super casual dining place for kids with an intimate deck and great fried seafood! Griff’s favorite part is throwing rocks into the water after lunch. After getting our fill [...]

I attended a great event to launch a new book, Culinary Tea by Cynthia Gold and Lise Stern. Lise Stern is the editor of a very popular local food and wine magazine Taste of the Seacoast. It took place at our local bookstore. The book is filled with all you don’t know about tea. There are recipes [...]

I have posted before about the SPCA Story Time. It is just such a fantastic local story time that I had to share again. Last time we were there my dear Mother In Law was with us. I didn’t realize it had been so long since we had been. So this post is for her. [...]

Saturday my knitting partner and crime and I attended the Fiber Festival of New England at the Big E in Springfield, MA. I saved my pennies for months for this festival so that I could purchase some yarn for my own Maggie hat. I did not expect what a challenge that would be. The expo [...]

We have been wanting to visit the Children’s Museum with Griffin for a while now. It use to be located in Portsmouth NH, but now has a new home in the heart of Dover NH. They converted an old mill building on the Cocheco (Co-Cheek-Co) River. There are so many fun things to do, for [...]
