my christmas
Christmas is by far one of my favorite seasons of the year. Sometimes I’m surprised by that fact since I might just give up bacon if I got to live in the sweet spot of May to September year-round. As a family, we’ve been known to keep our trees up perhaps way longer than deemed…

Outdoors with Ruby May
There is this really interesting balance that comes with “going home for the holidays” when everyone is home. It’s amazing and relaxing … and an adjustment. It’s probably a weird intricacy of getting older and having routines. I’m used to spending my Sundays quietly drinking coffee and watching CBS Sunday Morning – as opposed to…

life lessons in skiing
Two life lessons today kids. And if life isn’t about learning lessons and taking adventures then you are probably just wasting your time. So here is what I learned today: If you go up the mountain, you have to come back down it… and the terrain isn’t going to magically be different. If the color…

Adventures in Skiing!
About once a year I go cross country skiing. And while I did go a few other times when I was younger, I’m pretty much referring to NYE 2010 and NYE 2012. So my experience is limited – but that’s the great part about cross country skiing… it’s like you barely need experience. Slight exaggeration…

meeting jared
I’ve been looking forward to last Wednesday for quite awhile. Although it isn’t quite Christmas just yet, it was Christmas and my brother’s birthday all wrapped in one. Big day right? See the thing is teenage boys are challenging to shop for. I just don’t have the eye for what is cool and interesting to…

beach bliss
I’ve been on vacation for a few days and it’s been pretty great. I excel at taking vacations. I guess theoretically this is a staycation since I didn’t technically go anywhere… either way, I’m winning. I made an awesome to-do list last Friday of things that I was hoping to get done this week and…

thanksgiving activities
I am most certainly a person who is rejuvenated by nature – never by the city. I don’t need to run to feel at peace, a simple walk will suffice. And, I did that nearly every day of this longer Thanksgiving break… and I loved it. I was talking to my sister last week about…

the latest and greatest
I’m potentially turning into a baby. I used to be able to run outside in the cold weather but since I’ve turned 30, I can’t handle the idea of being chilled to the bone. Old age? Laziness? I took this picture on a morning run this week and I’d think it captures the essence of…

pumpkin carving + fire pit + leaves
My pumpkin is the smallest one. The one with a cat face on it. Eleanor the pumpkin perhaps? I don’t think I’ve ever carved a pumpkin before – or at least not that I can recall. My crazy adorable friends, Chris and Lauren, included me in their annual pumpkin carving competition in the burbs. I…

Pig-free Powisset Farm
I’m a Summer baby through and through. I like the long days filled with sun and warmth. I like the activities that come with summer. Reading in the sun, cooking on the grill, bike rides for fun, bike rides to air dry from swimming, bike ride with cocktails. But there is something about the transition…
