    Family Vacation!

    ok, so I’m not referring to this year but actually last year. Last year on this date, we were headed on a family vacation to Bermuda. It was an experience of a lifetime at a phenomenal hotel/resort. We stayed at 9 Beaches in Bermuda. I went to look up the site for ole times sake…

    Inspirational Words

    When I read Erin Gates’s Elements of Style blog … it makes me want to give my blog a total visual overhaul. Its so pretty and her design vision is gorgeous – but today I was also captivated by the words. She had posted a quote that she found on another blog, La Dolce Vita,…

    Jake's First Day of School

    My little brother is 11 years old. Well, he will tell you that he is 11 and a half … or perhaps even count out the precise fraction. Regardless. In the last 4 months, he has turned into a “preteen”. There are now “restrictions” on picture taking, jokes, kisses, high fives, meals, etc. Now, don’t…

  • Sweet Berry Wine

    My sister showed my this video last week before we went to a neighborhood wine party. Hilarious. Although, I’m nearly 100% sure that nobody else got it when we called each wine a “sweet berry wine”.

    Really Vermont?

    You might remember a week or so ago I did a blog post about wanting to get visitors from 40 states before I went back to work. (Goals Update, 8/31/10) In the event you don’t remember, here’s a quick summary. People from 33 states visited my blog. Nearly all of New England has swung by…

    I'm a perfectionist

    Ok, I’m really not – we know that… but I do love a good art project. Since I’m about to rejoin Corporate America, I’m pretty sure that art projects won’t happen much in my near future. I’m not artsy like my sister Kerrianne – she is really an artist. I’m artsy in a “geometric I…

    Labor Day …

    With one week left until I start work, I headed to Maine last week to see some dear friends. Since school we have all scattered a bit and so it was terribly nice to round up a few and have some fun. The place I went to is perfectly remote and lovely. My friend’s family…

    Vineyard Recap

    Last week I went to the Vineyard with a friend for a few days as I mentioned in a previous post (Vineyard Bound and Home Sweet Home). It was a great few days away from the hustle and bustle of the family house. I know that sounds silly but you’ll just have to take my…
