Celebrating Mom and Food…

The weekend is simply not long enough, and I am neither ready nor prepared to return to work this morning after such a busy past couple of days filled with good food, lovely locations, and quality time with friends and family. It just seems unfair not to have an extra day to rest and ease […]

Stumbling Upon History…

It’s been a hot minute since I shared some photos of any of the cool, abandoned, and often historical places in and around New England (something I did quite often at the height of the pandemic since social distancing made it so easy!) although my longtime passion for what is commonly referred to as “Urban […]

Books, Breakfast and Blossoms…

April showers aren’t uncommon at all here in New England. As many sunny and bright days as we’ve had these last few weeks, we’ve had just as many cold, dreary and soaking wet ones, as well. While torrential downpours can and often do interrupt outdoor activities or ideas- it’s why I always try to have […]

Post-Verdict Refresh…

With Troy having flown back to California in the very early morning hours yesterday after a successful verdict was reached in his defamation trial (and I’m writing a whoooooole thing about it later on this week now that I’m finally allowed to do so!) I’ve been readjusting to having my apartment all to myself again. […]

Art and the Mountains…

Happy Friday and Hello, March! With Spring on the horizon and the sun setting just a little bit later and later with each passing day, I’ve already found myself beginning the process of coming out of hibernation. I’ve started to unpack my skirts and dresses from storage to air out and iron, look into seasonal […]
