It’s no secret that I am a huge ocean lover. I love looking at it, standing in it, taking pictures of it, etc. The little trick here is that I actually get sea sick. When I used to sail in college, I would take dramamine every day before practice. I’m not sure if there are…

I’ve recently been given the gift of time. The time to do nearly anything I want… at least in the short term :). While I won’t say that every day has been easy street, I am significantly enjoying myself and feeling really productive… at least until this week. This week, I’ve come down with some…

I’m currently soaking in my last night of vacation before returning to work. I’ve had just about two weeks off … and I’m honestly not sure what I really did during that time. There was just a little bit of everything and a lot of nothing except elastic pants. I had several other things on…

It’s hard to believe that it is almost the weekend again … but I’m thankful for that. There is something quite phenomenal about long weekends and Memorial Day came at the right moment. Nothing crazy, just the right moment for an extra couple hours away from Microsoft Outlook, pivot tables and sunset views from 12…

In many ways I consider this North End apartment to be my first real apartment. It’s the first time that I’ve thoughtfully considered furniture before buying it. I made most of the curtains. Most of the wall art was made for each room specifically. But, I’m packing it all up. I just bought boxes on…

Today I found myself on essentially a children’s field trip … as an adult. I was oddly comfortable in the whole experience. Last weekend, I stumbled upon a posting for the “First Annual Maple Syrup Festival”. Obviously this piqued my interest… and I bookmarked it rather quickly. The idea of spending a couple hours traipsing…

My mom is always and forever asking me why I don’t write more about Eleanor. I always say that I have to write about other things like recipes and hiking and breakfast sandwiches. Life’s greatest experiences of course…  Eleanor doesn’t get more press coverage in part because I’m highly reluctant to the label of “cat…

I am a bit of an early riser at times and this weekend was one of those times. But it helped me to really maximize my Saturday. We had a bit of snow during the work week and thankfully it stuck around a bit so I could go skiing.  The rest of the weekend was…

This picture you see here is the most popular Instagram posting I’ve ever had. I’m not quite sure why. I went to Italy for 3 weeks, spent the summer at the beach, and I love to cook with anything that looks or tastes like bacon. But anyway. I’m super behind in writing. I got an…

It’s that time of year when everyone is writing about what they’d like to do/change in 2014. The odds are that I’ll do that as well. I did last year. But one of the posts that I read this week said she vowed to spend more time outside because you are rarely going to regret…
