This past weekend we celebrated our dear daughter’s 4th birthday! But instead of going on our usual neighborhood walks, we headed over to Farandnear, an 89 acre park that provides a couple miles of trails, as well as beautiful gardens and old cranberry bogs. Saturday was her birthday, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. She … Continue reading Farandnear

My 37th Birthday
Another year down (and another birthday during the pandemic). Last year the big outing was to go to Rare Steakhouse at Encore, but of course, everything was shut down just a few days prior. Going back this year was just one of the many fun events that made up my birthday celebration. I really had … Continue reading My 37th Birthday
A Snowy Start
Happy February everyone! We welcomed the new month with over a foot of snow, here in central Massachusetts. I worked on shoveling in front of the front door and making a path to the garage and the shed. David did the hard work of snow blowing our 300 foot driveway. Thank goodness it’s paved now! … Continue reading A Snowy Start
Looking Back on 2020

It was a really nice set up, being able to sit outside and order by texting (the weather was beautiful!). … Continue reading What a Week!
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
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}
