When the fairs in the area are cancelled, what’s the next best thing? Hold a little fair in your backyard! We kept the guest list minimal and thankfully we have a large backyard where everyone could social distance, and we wore masks. And the weather was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better … Continue reading A “Fair-Themed” Gathering
My Favorite Beautycounter Products
For over a year now, my skin has never looked or felt better. By adding these products to my routine (along with others that I use on a day to day basis), I finally feel confident, even going so far as being able to out in public without any makeup. That’s a lot for me! … Continue reading My Favorite Beautycounter Products
Life Lately {Fall 2020}
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've checked in. Things here at home are as good as they can be, given the whole "still don't have a job" situation. Luckily, though, David has been working his butt off on his business and we've been able to make ends meet while I'm still job searching. … Continue reading Life Lately {Fall 2020}
Hiking Maine
I’ve been visiting Maine since I was about 6 weeks old (my mom’s family is from Bangor), but it was either going to Bangor, spending summers at my grandparents cottage in Dedham or spending February vacations at the Samoset Resort.

Out of the Wilderness
Wow, what can I say about the 100 Mile Wilderness? Aside from being touted as the most rugged section of the Appalachian Trail, it's also filled with such amazing views, from the peaks to the lakeside. The first half was fairly flat and we were able to pull out double digit days, even having one … Continue reading Out of the Wilderness

Short answer: Lots and lots of walks! As mentioned earlier, we were planning to go on this hike early next year. But the stars seemed to have aligned in such a way that it made sense to leave this month and head southbound. So, since we’re accelerating our plans, that means we’ve had to reevaluate … Continue reading How We’re Training for our Thru-Hike
Our Next Big Adventure
First, it was building the house in 2012 and then the garage in 2015. Then it was having our daughter in 2017 and our son in 2019. But quite honestly, this adventure will take strength, grit, and determination: David and I are through-hiking the Appalachian Trail! I’ve alluded to some big adventure that David and … Continue reading Our Next Big Adventure
Baking With My 3 Year Old (And a Muffin Recipe!)
I am definitely the type of person who has a hard time relinquishing control. You’ll find me asking my husband to do something for me, and I will ultimately take over because he’s doing it wrong. That, of course, translates into how I operate in the kitchen. But if my 3 year old daughter gets … Continue reading Baking With My 3 Year Old (And a Muffin Recipe!)
