It's been two months and I have no idea how to write this update! There's just so much to share and -- at the same time -- nothing really new around here. We've had some stunning days that have allowed us to spend big chunks of time outside and we've had even more stifling days... Continue Reading →
Friday Joy
Friends -- it is Friday! And the Friday before February Vacation for the schools here in New Hampshire. Colton got sent home from school with a fever yesterday (no fever or symptoms today) so his vacation got started about a day and a half early since they require students to be fever free for 24...

On Never Reaching the Trouble-Free Phase
Happy Friday, friends! The wind is blowing hard outside right now as we prepare for another round of storms this weekend.

What a Start to the Year
Friends, I've been telling Matthew that this year feels apocalyptic even before the fires started in LA.

We laid to rest the president who was arguably the most... Continue Reading →

I experience quite a bit of panic at the beginning of the year given my personality and past -- what... Continue Reading →
Welcome 2025
Happy New Year! My New Year's Eve was nice and quiet. Matthew had to work for a good chunk of it (2pm-10:30pm) but made it home for midnight. I was actually awake for the big moment which is highly unusual for me. I spent most of the evening watching Fellowship of the Ring, responding to... Continue Reading →
The Last Post of the Year! | 2024
Wow - my next blog post will be in 2025. What a thing to write! I can't believe a whole year has gone by and we are on the cusp of another. I've sat down several times today to write this post and have been pulled away each time, so let's see if I can... Continue Reading →
Welcome December | 2024
Friends, thank you so much for your warm support in my last post, which was now two weeks ago if you can believe it. I am still feeling quite overwhelmed with all of the holiday brouhaha, the state of American politics, and my responsibilities at home, but I've desperately missed connecting with all of you...

October Quotes | 2024
Welcome to Monday, friends. I hope you were able to find some time for the things you love over the weekend. Mine was full of baking and cleaning, with a small helping of reading. I went on walks, alone and with an assortment of the children. Over all -- it was the best weekend possible... Continue Reading →
