♥ Our week in snapshots: | highlights | We can finally smell the first sweet breezes of summer! Although today is a bit dreary, the last week or so has for the most part been gorgeous. Ryan + I have started running again, and are really excited to explore some of the woodland trails that [...]

An afternoon in the park
Posted in New Hampshire, Our personal history, Reading, tagged canada geese, may, park, reading, small town, spring, summer on May 21, 2012 | 2 Comments »
♥ One of the things that we liked about living in the city was that everything was within walking distance. Turns out, though, that living in a small town is even better. There’s only one of everything (post office, grocery store, library, park, diner) so there is less variety, but they’re all even closer together [...]

♥ Our week in snapshots: | highlights | I’m getting used to the view from our bedroom window: pine trees. This is, ironically, something I really missed when I lived in the Pinecone + Chickadee State. Funny how things like that work. Speaking of which, we took the Maine plates off of our car this [...]

♥ Our week in snapshots: | highlights | A lot can happen in a week. Since I last wrote, we have packed up our entire apartment, stuffed it into a Uhaul truck, and carted it across State lines. I always smile at the first town over the Maine border into New Hampshire: Freedom. An appropriately [...]

♥ Our week in snapshots: | highlights | This week brought sunshine in mass amounts – definitely appreciated, New England, thanks! We were able to leave the house without coats on and open our windows for a couple of hours at a time. This means that we did a lot of walking around town [...]

♥ What could be more exciting than a gigantic white canvas? In fact, that’s what a fresh blanket of snow is to me! My Mom came up with this idea when I was little, and I spent the rest of the day outside “painting” the house that I had made for myself out of snow! [...]

♥ With our new work schedules, we now have 3 days off in a row! Good news for our work week, bad news for our already established routines. However, thanks to this new schedule, we were able to enjoy a nice trip back to my neck of the { literal } woods and romp around [...]
Sunset Hill House

♥ What a dream! This is the Sunset Hill House in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire { not too far from home, but just far enough that it feels like a getaway }. It’s probably the most beautiful little Inn that I’ve ever come across. I mean, can you imagine staying here for a relaxing five [...]
I Finished My Novel.

♥ PHEW! I finished my novel! On November 1st, I undertook the challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days. The point of the exercise is to promote the skills of writing and imagination, and to help writers get past their “block” to form the skeleton of something that could be very [...]

♥ my children will look at “old” photos of me… and wonder what it was like to live in 2011. They’ll most likely laugh at my hair styles and clothing choices, and be amazed at how young I look. They’ll ask me what I was doing in certain pictures, and I might not have a response [...]
