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
Looking Back on 2020
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a safe and fun celebration. I was in bed by 11PM; to be honest I think the last time I stayed up to ring in the new year was in 2015. Woo-wee, what a doozy of a year. I think this year had more peaks and valleys … Continue reading Looking Back on 2020
Christmas 2020
Despite not being able to see all of the family members that I would usually see (I’m looking at you, Maine! <3), Christmas this year was still a special one. We went to my parents house for the night and Eleanor had such a wonderful time (Lincoln still isn’t quite sure what’s going on, but … Continue reading Christmas 2020
Happy Holidays 2020
From our family to yours, we hope you have a wonderful, and safe, Christmas! xoxo
Virtual Races of 2020
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
