Birthday Witch…

Greetings from The Snowpocalypse! Although there had been a brief lull in the storm when I sat down to start writing this post this morning, it’s now coming down yet again here in Western Massachusetts.

A Month to Remember: August 2025

August is always such a bittersweet month to me. While I am undoubtedly and unapologetically excited for all the things I have planned in the Fall – I also adore the Summertime, especially as a lifelong New Englander – and August serves as a reminder that the season is coming to an end, time is […]
