Back in June, for David’s birthday, we took the kids up to Monson, ME to visit the hostel owner’s of Shaw’s Hiker Hostel, who have quickly become good friends of ours. We attempted to hike a small mountain, not on the Appalachian Trail, called Borestone. Unfortunately the little legs couldn’t make it more than a … Continue reading Borestone Mountain – Take 2

Camel’s Hump & Mt. Mansfield
I’d say this hike that we did in October was a 50% success. We were able to summit Camel’s Hump, but we got on trail too late on Sunday to make it up Mt. Mansfield. Since this was back in October, I don’t have all of the details, but I can recall the important points.We … Continue reading Camel’s Hump & Mt. Mansfield
Hiking Mt. Madison
Ah, the November hike that didn’t quite go as we had hoped. We even changed things up and drove up to NH late on Friday evening so that we would get an early start on Saturday morning. The weather was really cold and there was snow on the mountain, but there was no wind and … Continue reading Hiking Mt. Madison
Mt. Moosilauke
This month’s hiking trip didn’t go quite as planned, but I was still able to summit a mountain that I hadn’t done before. David had hiked it a couple of times (the most recent was his bachelor party before we got married in 2008!). So needless to say, it had been a while for him. … Continue reading Mt. Moosilauke

Something that … Continue reading The Lawn I’ve Been Wanting
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!! Yes I’m turning 37, but I still like to make a big deal about my … Continue reading Running Into March
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
