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, […]

Spring is a fickle season in Maine. We’ve had plowable snow in April and I remember a May so warm a few years ago that I had a tan by Memorial Day. Even though the weather changes with the drop of a hat there are still some great ways to get out an enjoy Maine’s […]

Updated March 2024 Did you know that tulips are celebrated across the U.S. at festivals dedicated entirely to them?!?!?! I had no idea!

It’s been a minute since I shared a date night in. We’re coming to the end of February which means that Mardi Gras will be here before we know it. Andrew and I haven’t been to New Orleans for the actual celebration (Tuesdays are school nights, you know) so I thought it would be fun […]

Way back in 2018 when dinner parties would happen on a whim and some of our friends hadn’t moved back to France yet Andrew and I were treated to a traditional French favorite, Blanquette de Veau. This dish is pure comfort food, many recipes have been passed down and perfected by French grandmothers for generations. […]

I may have filled our home with springy flowers but winter is not over yet. We’re expecting a big storm tonight in Maine that should last until late Saturday. They’re predicting almost a foot of snow in some areas. Yikes! So I think we’ll be hunkered down on Saturday, enjoying some of my finds for […]
It’s been super cold in Maine this week. After teaching remotely last week and being sick I’ve decided that I need to start doing more self care at home. Whether it’s a warm bubble bath, taking the time to do my nails or reading with a cup of tea, I’m going to make myself more […]
