2020 is *finally* over, but 2021 hasn’t exactly started on the best note. Between the craziness of people storming the capital incited by the nut-job we have as a president to the daily increasing COVID-19 cases, we’re not exactly on our way out of the craziness that was 2020. But, with the reality of vaccinations […]
This weekend we celebrated Mother’s Day. It was the 2nd weekend of May, and on Saturday, May 9 it snowed. We had squalls of ice and snow coming down randomly throughout the day. And, it didn’t happen only in Southern Maine, it also happened down the East Coast as far down as NJ! Mother’s Day […]
Wow. 56 days with the same 6 people and we are all still alive. I’d say that’s a win. Today marks officially 8 weeks of our Family being in quarantine together. I’d be lying if I said I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. That I have not. The days are slow, but fast. A college […]
It’s hard to believe that we’re on day 24 of our quarantine. In 1 week Rhys will have spent 1 full month (March 13th – April 13th) of his 4 months on earth in quarantine. That’s kind of crazy to think about! Today was a beautiful day. Full sun, no clouds, low humidity and about […]

I’m finding as each day passes it gets both easier, and harder. What do I mean by this? Well, we’re learning when to do schoolwork […]
I just read a post I wrote 2 years ago about the week we decided to move to Maine. And, I started crying. It brought back so many emotions from that time. And so much has changed since then. So. Much. We’ve had 2 more kids! Yup. You read that right. I was pregnant with […]
Rebels, Rusticators, and the Struggle for a Forgotten Frontier This book about Maine by Colin Woodard (Copyright 2004) jumped out at me one day while I was searching for something on Amazon. I bought it and it sat on my nightstand for quite some time before I decided to pick it up a couple weeks […]
Nic and I both have strong feelings that we were put here on this earth to move mountains and change the world. We have ideas of what we think they are (him, writing a Grammy-nominated song, and sharing his music with the world), me to provide clean drinking water to everyone. Don’t ask me why […]
