Hello, friends! Long time, no talk. Yes, I am temporarily emerging from my self-imposed sabbatical…how could I not when I have what I have what I consider to be a very important PSA for you all (wink, wink). So as those of you who follow me on social media know, I recently spent a long […]
Why We Love Story Land
Note: This post was originally published on August 8, 2013. Like most kids who grew up in New England, my family and I went to Story Land in Glen, N.H. It’s like a childhood rite of passage in our area. My little sister and I rode on tea cups and got our photo taken with […]

What’s on My Florida Packing List
In case you missed the announcement on my Facebook page on Friday, we’re headed to Florida in one week!
