Before 2020, the month of February never really bothered me. Although Winter seems to get particularly harsh during this month here in New England- with those treacherous, almost-Spring-but-not-quite-there-yet blizzards and single digit (or often negative) temperatures- I’ve usually just retreated indoors to cook piping hot comfort foods and bundle up in thermal and/or multiple blankets […]
Oh, January- the month that starts a brand new year, features my birthday, and is most certainly the true age of Aquarius! How I love you and all the new beginnings and opportunities you seem to bring with your arrival. Even though this month is almost always cold, snowy and dark where I live- I […]
As I’m writing this, another series of snowstorms are making their way across my part of New England and covering us with a few additional inches of powder- and while I would have undoubtedly been dreading that forecast a couple of years ago- the still-working-from-home, doesn’t-have-to-commute-or-shovel me is quite content with watching the snow fall […]

And while last year’s celebration included time with friends and family- both in large groups and out dining/getting pampered freely and without a care in the world since the […]

Oh, New England Winter, I’ve grown so used to you- your unpredictability, your penchant to be as messy and as inconvenient as possible, and your absolute refusal to leave quietly come April- that I can’t even be mad at you anymore. You make me appreciate the Spring and Summer so much more- and inspire me […]
There are a few pieces in my wardrobe and jewelry/accessory collection that remind me of a certain place or a specific memory. Earrings that remind me of a fancy dinner with friends. A knitted sweater that reminds me of my favorite pumpkin patch in my community. Shoes that remind me of a night running around […]
