Happy Thursday everyone! We had a lovely Easter celebration this Sunday and just wanted to share some pictures that I took. On Saturday, Eleanor and I baked some sugar cookies and used Easter themed cookie cutters (bunnies, eggs, flowers, sheep, etc.). David also picked us up some beautiful flowers for the kitchen. Sunday afternoon, we … Continue reading Easter Celebrations & A New B.A.A. Challenge

My 37th Birthday
Another year down (and another birthday during the pandemic). Last year the big outing was to go to Rare Steakhouse at Encore, but of course, everything was shut down just a few days prior. Going back this year was just one of the many fun events that made up my birthday celebration. I really had … Continue reading My 37th Birthday
Running Into March
Well, Happy March everyone! I know March may seem like such a “blah” kind of month (especially after last year’s disaster), but not only do we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and the beginning of spring, it’s also my birthday month!!

I worked on shoveling in front of the front door and making a path to the garage and the shed. David did the hard work of snow blowing our 300 foot driveway. Thank goodness it’s paved now! … Continue reading A Snowy Start
Shed to Office Transformation
Ever since I started working from home (in late October) my office has been located in one of the lofts of the house. Needless to say, it’s not the most quiet spot and sometimes my kids pop in on my Zoom calls. We had been going back and forth on whether or not to turn … Continue reading Shed to Office Transformation
Winter Hiking in Connecticut
This past weekend was a first for me: hiking by headlamp in a snow squall! We hiked from Rt. 41 in Connecticut, north, to Bear Mountain (the highest point in the state – 2,323 feet in elevation). The temps were in the 20s/30s but thankfully I stayed nice and toasty with all of the layers … Continue reading Winter Hiking in Connecticut
My Intentions For 2021
I think I can probably speak for (almost) everyone when I say that this past year was just all about surviving. I look back at what I had hoped to accomplish, and that was all thrown out the window when our lives were turned upside down. I would like to look forward to 2021 with … Continue reading My Intentions For 2021
