There were a lot of milestones to celebrate last week. On Monday alone, it was: My 12th wedding anniversary To celebrate, we hiked up Mount Wachusett (we miss hiking!) and visited the Wachusett Brewing Company.

A “Fair-Themed” Gathering
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
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!)

The parting was amicable though and it’s my understanding that should things get better (it wasn’t directly related … Continue reading Well, Now What Do I Do?
A Great Soul
When Great Trees Fall Maya Angelou When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. … Continue reading A Great Soul
Days of Baking
I think it’s no surprise that if you find me in my house for long periods of time, I’ll definitely be searching my pantry to see what I can bake with. It kind of feels like Iron Chef where I have to find the main ingredient and then work around that. Some of the main … Continue reading Days of Baking
Changes
I’ve had this page open to edit for a few weeks now, ever since I returned back to work. But between making dinners and making sure my daughter doesn’t cough on her brother (she’s getting over a cold), I haven’t had the chance to write! And I want to! I realize that I do go … Continue reading Changes
