Happy November, everyone! It’s a brand new month and the beginning of the impending holiday season. I hope you’re all ready- or as ready as you can be right now- and I especially hope this past weekend (or “Halloweekend.” as I like to call it) was a lot of fun for you and your friends/loved […]
Many people might think that I spend my Octobers walking around and photographing old New England cemeteries, abandoned and potentially haunted locations or pumpkin patches while looking for all things spooky and scary- and while they aren’t necessarily wrong- I do that kind of stuff like, a lot this time of year- I’m actually known […]
I don’t think anyone is more excited and ready for the beginning of the Fall than I am. Growing up in New England, it’s always been my favorite season for a variety of reasons I’m sure I’ve detailed at length on this blog in the past- the scenery, the smells and tastes (apple everything and […]

Be it going hiking, dining out, catching a scary movie at a crowded theater or just sitting around playing video games in our apartments- it was kind of a routine and definitely a […]
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 […]
