For the past 12 years I’ve taken the last two weeks of December off. It’s been a time of self-reflection, mood regulation, stress relief, and away to ensure I enter the new year with a fresh mindset.

Fall in New England, 2022 Edition
How do I describe the past few weeks and the ones coming up? Whirlwind. The weekends have been perfect fall weather; I’ve spent time with good friends and besties, and I’ve reminded myself why I’m a crafter and a damn decent human being. This weekend was the New York Sheep and Wool Festival. I got […]
Bower Springs Hike
On recommendation from some local friends, I brought Ellie over to Bower Springs to explore. My friends had mentioned that not only was it dog friendly, but there is a pond that dogs swim in. I’d been trying to get Ellie to swim, but only succeeded once. We pulled into the parking lot, and I […]
Dinner at Gillette Stadium

Columbus Day Weekend 2015

My folks decided to come up, and I had already made plans to take Hope (my stepdaughter). First thing Saturday morning, we picked […]
Labor Day 2015
Hadn’t been to the beach all summer. I mentioned that to Margie, and we decided it would be great to go to York Beach in Maine for Labor Day. It was a beautiful beach day… 90+ degrees, clear, not a cloud in the sky. The only thing that could have made it perfect was if […]
