Since I started running, in 2007, I’ve made it a goal to run a race every year. I ran two races after I had Eleanor in 2017 and even ran a 5 miler when 13 weeks pregnant with Lincoln. This year, I didn’t want to break that streak, and thankfully so many race organizers in … Continue reading Virtual Races of 2020
Easy and Delicious Banana Bread
For all of the times that I’ve made banana bread, I’m surprised I’ve never shared the recipe I use! It’s super simple, and one that I can thank my sister in law for. I believe it was the Christmas just after I got married that she gifted me a recipe book that had a bunch … Continue reading Easy and Delicious Banana Bread
Thanksgiving 2020
Normally I would start out a holiday post like this by saying that I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. But that just doesn’t seem…right…during this time that we’re in. I guess all I can say is that I hope you all are doing well, despite what your Thanksgiving … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2020

We couldn’t have asked for a better … Continue reading A “Fair-Themed” Gathering

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. In my 36 years of life, I had never experienced Maine like this. As mentioned … Continue reading Hiking Maine
