Oh hello there! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these. Summer is over and I am back in the classroom with my kindergarteners. It’s always a shock to the system, starting a square on with these tiny humans. You forget how much they grow over the year. Andrew and I also […]
Have you ever had a mooncake? I had my first one a few days ago and it was delicious. I took a baking class with my brother a couple weeks ago. We spent the afternoon learning about the history of mooncakes while molding a dozen to bring home with us. Just in time too! Mooncakes […]

This past Mother’s Day we spent our Sunday in a beautiful barn in Bowdoinham, Maine. Andrew’s brother and our sister-in-law have picked up the hobby of glassblowing and thought it would be a fun experience for my mother in law. It was an afternoon of laughs, yummy food and just a bit of broken glass. […]
Got those post trip blues or haven’t traveled in a while? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! Andrew and I haven’t traveled outside of New England in over a year due to our home renovations. That’s a super long time for us. I LOVE to jump on a plane and wake up in Europe, so […]

Happy Friday! I’ve been on April Break this week and the plan was to go to France but it didn’t work out. The unpredictability of stand-by travel. That’s ok though, I had a nice staycation and the weather in Maine has been really nice. Spring is in the air. This week’s finds include a Sunday […]
Well, this was an interesting week. Sunshiny, warm days at the beginning of the week and then Maine got walloped by spring storm. If April showers bring May flowers, I’m curious what April snowstorms bring. 😉 With over 18 inches in some areas, many of us are still trying to shovel out. All this time […]
TGIF! This was one of those super long weeks. The weather wasn’t great, I still wasn’t feeling 100% and I had two days of parent teacher conferences. Talking to parents for hours on end is not my favorite thing. On a bright note, I was able to work on my little book nook! It’s coming […]

It’s Friiiiiiday! It’s also paycheck breakfast pizza Friday. I absolutely love the breakfast pizza at the little corner store near where I teach. I would honestly buy it every morning, but I only allow myself to eat it on pay day. It’s the little things right? This week’s finds include some vacay ideas, a lip […]
Is there anything better than a warm bowl of thick, creamy chowder on a cold day? It’s really hard to beat. New England is known for this hearty meal and living in Maine, chowder is always on the menu. This was my first time making clam chowder and I don’t know why I’ve avoided it […]
How is it March right now? I feel like January lasted years and February was over in a flash. Happy Friday everyone! Anyone else finish listening to Who TF Did I Marry this week? That poor woman! And now the ex is coming after her for defamation? Um I don’t think so sir, she never […]
Not super excited for Friday to come this week. I’ve been on break all week, so Friday arriving means that my time off is coming to an end. We didn’t go away this break because Andrew is still in renovation mode but that is ok. I’ve had a relaxing week for sure. 🙂 Lots of […]
