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
Winter Hiking in Connecticut
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

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
