If we were having coffee, I’d definitely have my mini in tow. Don’s work-load is picking up, so our situation usually includes him staying home with the boys during their nap so he has quiet to do his work, while Elizabeth tags along with me. We pack her little puppy backpack with activities, so I’d… Read More Coffee Catch Up – Volume 4
I had great intentions for blogging in January, but the month kicked our family’s butt! We battled the stomach bug twice, the boys had some serious teething, and Elizabeth and Henry had ear infections. With all that came a lot of sleepless nights, long days, and LOTS of laundry. Don also had a week of… Read More Life Lately – January 2019
About a week ago I did something just for me: I went on a solo trip up to New Hampshire for live recording of the Podcast “I’ll Have Another” with Lindsey Hein. The meet-up was put on by Sarah Canney – known on Instagram as runfargirl – and co-founder of Run.Rise.Retreat and she puts on… Read More Rise.Run.Retreat and I’ll Have Another Podcast Live Show
Last week, I posted about day one of our two day trip to Vermont. If you are looking for kid-friendly, affordable locations, these are the post you want to read! And the plus side is that everything was indoors, so they are great choices if the weather decides not to cooperate. If you’ve ever wondered… Read More Two Days in Vermont – Part 2

If you follow me on my Instagram, then you know that we spent Thursday and Friday on a little family get-away to New Hampshire and Vermont (but mostly Vermont). You’ll also know that I was completely in awe of Vermont the entire time we were there. We have traveled to many states in our 4.5… Read More Two Days in Vermont – Part 1
Have you ever had one of those days where you wake up cranky at everything? That was me on Sunday morning. I woke up still feeling exhausted, was sick of eating eggs (thanks Whole30), and in general was just annoyed about trivial things (like having to fold laundry and do the dishes). When Don made… Read More Find Your Park: Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site
**In keeping with tradition, I’m about three weeks late to this fall bucket list post. I did write it a while ago and then kept waiting to take the perfect “blog worthy” pictures which never happened. This weekend we crossed a few items off the list and I realized I really needed to get this… Read More Fall Bucket List
During Don’s orientation week, his class was divided into groups for a project that included community service and a presentation based on the organization they worked with. Don’s group was assigned to Gaining Ground in Concord, and their presentation was about food insecurity- not having access to sufficient quantities of affordable or nutritious food. According… Read More Celebrating the Harvest with Gaining Ground
Today I’m linking up with Kait from Communikait for her September Blogging Challenge. She has some great prompts this month that I hope will let you get to know me better. This prompt really had me thinking, because the older I get, the more I just want to explore in my own backyard. Since the… Read More Places I Would Like To Visit One Day
