To kick off my birthday week (It’s on the 18th, but I like to celebrate ), David and I went out for a nice dinner while my mom watched the kids. Ever since I saw an Instagram post from Taste of Massachusetts, featuring some delicious mac and cheese, I made it my mission to visit … Continue reading Gibbet Hill Grill

Winter Hiking on Mt. Greylock
Don’t worry, this hike wasn’t during the deep freeze! Ha-ha. We went the weekend before and the weather was great!We went back and forth on which mountain to climb: did we want to stay relatively close to home or venture north to New Hampshire or Vermont? We settled on Mt. Greylock in North Adams, Massachusetts … Continue reading Winter Hiking on Mt. Greylock
Stowe 10 Miler
Well, it’s been over 2 months since I ran this race, but it’s still fresh in my mind!The night before, we stayed at the beautiful Von Trapp Lodge in Stowe.

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

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
The Lawn I’ve Been Wanting
Since buying our property over 9 years ago, we have slowly but surely made improvements to the 1 acre lot. We first tore down the old house: Since 2012, we’ve: built a new garage, built a shed, tore down the old garage, took out over 40 surrounding trees, and added a paved driveway. Something that … Continue reading The Lawn I’ve Been Wanting
