Team Bergeron

I sometimes secretly wish that I could install a camera over our dinner table without anyone in the family knowing it’s there because the conversations are so off the rail that it’s just too hard to try and replicate all of the content that gets tossed around. This time it 100% potty talk. Like, we hit every topic revolving around bathroom issues you could think of. I think it’s because, for some reason, both of…

           Lemme’ tell you about the highlight of my day which, now looking back on the whole thing, I wish was actually the bag of frozen chicken feet that drove around with me all morning in the front seat of my car. I had my first appointment with my new functional medicine practitioner at The Rothfeld Center in Waltham.  I was so excited and had such a great visit; I must’ve met…

  The “Kid Sitting Manual: Miami, Spring 2018” that I leave for our kids’ caretakers while we’re away: Thursday 4:30 am Ben & Heather leave for airport Maya stays with kids at house 7:00 am Mariah arrives to relieve Maya Kids: breakfast, brush teeth, make beds, get dressed for farm (clothes will be laid out on their bedroom dressers, outdoor gear will be laid out on dining room table and floor), house straightened up &…

This morning, the kids got up early before Ben even left for CFNE.  They usually transition to being awake by climbing onto the couch with one of our many fuzzy, super cozy blankets.  Harley Love always, without fail, says, “I want someone to snuggle me.” Since this morning Bode was down early, too, I couldn’t help but bypass my normal highly regimented routine to go lay down with the two of them. Today was even…

First thing’s first.  I COOKED FOR EASTER.  I know I never cook, but the truth is that I actually like cooking, am pretty good at it, and love the opportunity to take other people’s ideas and tweak them around to fit what I want them to be.  I ALSO love having a handful of go-to’s in my back pocket for when I’m supposed to bring something to a party.  There’s definitely a little bit of…

I know I’ve been writing a lot about things that happen during Ben’s classes, but I guess that’s when I do my best thinking for some reason. Ben does this thing that means so much to me, not just as his wife, but as any other athlete in his class: he intentionally walks around looking for me to, specifically, ask me how my workout went. He’s not doing it just for me, just because he’s…

A writer from The Natick Magazine contacted us recently asking if our family would like to be featured in one of their upcoming publications.  I don’t know if this guy knew exactly what he was getting into with us, but I figured I would answer the 2 page questionnaire and let him decide for himself. I have no idea if it will ever go to print, but I decided that if I was going to…
