It’s springtime in Maine! That means warmer temps, greener spaces and shedding those winter layers. It also means…mud season. It’s that delightful time of year when things start to thaw and spring showers happen more often. April showers bring May flowers though right? So if you’re looking for something to do indoors during this time, […]
The Winter season can feel long in Maine. Snowy days are great, it’s the freezing rain and gray afternoons that make it seem to last a lifetime. Thankfully there is never a shortage of activities to keep your spirits bright! Whether you live in the area or are visiting for a long weekend there is […]
Maine has become quite the destination for foodies and beer aficionados over the past few years.

Happy Friday! This week has felt super long with the time change, full moon and elections on Tuesday. The weather has also been all over the place, it was in the 70s Monday and I woke up to frost on my car Thursday morning. It’s been a strange week. Thankfully, I have today off from […]

Here is a round up of holiday markets that look like they are worth a visit. No passport required! (unless you’re outside […]
If you love autumn, Maine is pretty much the place to be. With its dense forests of beautiful foliage, gorgeous mountains, and winding rivers, this state is the perfect place to get outside and enjoy the fall season. It’s no secret that the foliage is a showstopper but Maine’s covered bridges add a little bit […]
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. […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
This small museum is always worth a visit but I wanted to check out a recent exhibition called North Atlantic Triennial, the first exhibition devoted entirely to contemporary art of the North Atlantic region.
Updated March 2023 Did you know that tulips are celebrated across the U.S. at festivals dedicated entirely to them?!?!?! I had no idea! We went to The Netherlands to gawk at the tulips a couple years ago( which was so much fun and the flowers did not disappoint) but there are festivals right here in […]
This week’s finds include a yummy salmon topper, a trip to the museum, a fun website and a movie night recommendation.
Starting the new year off with a new idea, Friday Finds. I love to see what people are up to, looking at, loving at the moment so I thought I’d share some finds from my week on here. January can be a little dreary. Most of the holiday cheer is packed away and cold, snow, […]
October is my favorite month and not just because it’s my birthday month (the 17th if you’re wondering) It’s also when you can actually wear sweaters, enjoy cooler days and celebrate all things spooky. I’m not quite sure when “spooky season” became a thing but I’m here for it. I’m grateful for growing up and […]
The air is crisp, the leaves are just starting to change color in New England and the days are getting much shorter. It’s time for a fall themed date night in…Oktoberfest! For those who don’t know, Oktoberfest is an annual two-week festival in Munich that originally started as a wedding celebration. It’s grown since that […]
I don’t know about you but the moment the calendar flips to September and I’m back in school teaching 5 year olds, it’s Fall.
