It’s almost like the universe heard my prayer. This may take some of you by surprise but I have a thing for cars. Fast ones, unique ones, classic ones… While driving last week up in Vermont I was day-dreaming about the type of rustic car I would like to have at our house there. I imagined… read more

Making Crayons

September 2, 2015 1 Comment

This might go down in history as my younger daughter’s favorite craft project EVER. You see when she was little if left to her own devices she would peel and snap every crayon she got her hands on.

Favorite Places: Manchester, VT

For as long as I can remember Manchester, VT has been my home away from home. My family owned a ski condo on Bromley Mountain when I was growing up and we spent almost every winter weekend there until I went away to college.

Well Hello Again

July 30, 2015 2 Comments

I’m back. Here’s where I went. I lost my watch and lost track of time. My hard drive died and I had no computer to check email or blog from. And we moved to our new home last week where we have no cell phone service. Zip. Zero. Zilch. No bars… And that’s when I… read more
