♥ My friend Erin went to Alaska last week, and before she left she asked me to pull together a playlist that she + her boyfriend could listen to while they drove through the State. I was immediately happy to accept the challenge since I love making themed playlists! Here’s what I came up with [...]

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 [...]
Pan Am | Things I Love!

♥ Although I don’t have cable, I am so enamored by ABC’s new show Pan Am. The culture of the Jet Age is so interesting to me! The success driven ladies that are represented by this TV show were braving society’s expected role for them by breaking out of the pattern that their mothers and [...]
Farewell, Fall Foliage…
Posted in Environmental Consciousness, New Hampshire, Portland, Travel, tagged autumn, fall foliage, global warming, leaf peepers, leaves, maine, massachusetts, new england, new hampshire, vermont on October 6, 2011 | 2 Comments »
♥ This summer we took our niece to the Science Center to learn about our climate. We had so much fun while we were there, watching the mountain lions prowl and the black bears slumber, but I was really saddened to learn that within my lifetime, because of Global Warming, the New England that I [...]
Sidewalk Art Sale
Posted in Portland, Travel, tagged 2011, art, congress street, maine, portland, sidewalk sale on August 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Last Saturday was a really fun day here in Portland! ♥ I already shared photos of Picnic, but I took some of the sidewalk art sale, too! They blocked off a huge chunk of Congress Street (our main street through the city), and booths full of paintings popped up in the middle of the street [...]
Summer Camp Dream Come True
Posted in Home Decor, Travel on August 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Summer’s not over yet (although I’m starting to feel the chill!), so I had to share this dream-come-true of a Camp location with you before it was too late: Camp Wandawega. ♥ Essentially, it’s all of my favourite things in one place. Camp culture, sprawling across acres of gorgeous land, filled to the brims with [...]

Memorial Day “Weekend”
Posted in New Hampshire, Travel on May 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Most of you (U.S. citizens anyway) have been enjoying your Memorial Day weekends, and are probably not looking forward to Tuesday when you go back to work. Ryan + I, on the other hand, will be starting our weekend when he gets home from work after midnight tonight. Yay! I am especially excited because this [...]
Last Week, In New York City.
Posted in Our personal history, Travel on April 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Driving into the city for the day, even when one lives in Maine, is definitely always a good idea. That is what I learned last week. I had some doubts at first — my biggest source of distress was whether or not we had the funds for such a day trip, and also, there was [...]
I’m A Stranger Here Myself – Bill Bryson
Posted in New Hampshire, Reading, Travel, tagged bill bryson, book review, i'm a stranger here myself, new hampshire on February 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It’s been awhile since I’ve written about the books I read. This is partly because I haven’t been reading as much as I want to be, and partly because the books I have been reading are mostly classics that don’t really need any more reviews. I’m sure I don’t have anything to say about a [...]
