Happy Friday! This has not been a fun week, Covid finally caught up with me and I have to say I am not a fan. I’ve had a super bad headache all week and I all I want to do is sleep. I was totally fine Monday morning, got up at 5:00 and went for […]
You know how some people look at houses they can’t afford on Zillow? Well I go down the rabbit hole of places I want to stay whenever I open my travel apps. I needed a little distraction this week so I’ve been scrolling through airbnb and booking.com making little wishlists to refer back to later. […]

Quiche is always a go to in our house, it’s perfect for any meal. I went a little out of my comfort zone this past week and made a salmon quiche. Of course I had to do a little research to find out how exactly to make a salmon quiche. Do you use fresh salmon […]

Updated May 2022 I work a couple days of week at my local airport to help support my passion for travel. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the baggage claim office and I have learned so much about luggage. I’m still on team carry-on but even I need to check a bag every […]
We have had beautiful weather in Maine this week. The sun has been shining and the sunrises have been magical. Get the garden beds ready because the full moon is next week which means that you can start planting next weekend! I’m not 100% sure if that’s facts or an old wives tale but I’m […]
Springtime has me thinking about summer plans and travel. Traveling can be tough though. It’s expensive, takes some planning and you need to be able to take time off from work. That is not always easy. So, I thought I would share tips for exploring your own city. I’ve spent a lot of time getting […]

The Norumbega Inn has always intrigued me. This is a beautiful stone manor, a “castle” by the sea that I have driven past countless times and have always wanted to stay there. Andrew will tell you that it is not actually a castle because it doesn’t have crenellations, which I needed to look up because […]

If you know me or have been reading my blog for awhile, you know I love a theme night! Usually we pick a country to plan our night around but Andrew had the idea of picking a decade. The 1950s is the first decade we’re going to tackle for a date night in and I’m […]
Happy Friday! And what a wonderful Friday it is! At 2:10 this afternoon I am officially on Spring Break. That means I do not have to think about school or my students for a whole week! I have a book I’ve been wanting to read, some activities to sneak in and maybe some closet cleaning. […]
When I asked Andrew if he had a hankering for anything when I was planning for my Sunday Supper his only request was something French. So I opened up a cookbook and landed on a random page, Poulet aux Quarante Gousses d’Ail, Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic. This trick doesn’t always work, I’ve opened […]

My friend Donna has a goal of completing 50 hikes before a certain birthday and this past Sunday was hike number one. I joined her as she kicked off this outdoorsy adventure at Bald Pate Mountain in Bridgton, Maine. Now, I am not a hiker. I’m a walker. I enjoy a stroll down a lovely, […]
