A Jaunt Through Old Town

I have been quite the slacker about photographing the girls and blogging during the past few weeks.  I've had a lot of client logos and websites eating up my time, and have also been in super preserva[...]

Chris' dad came up for a visit last week much to everyone's delight.  Nora especially was excited about his visit for one reason: sausage.  Every time John comes, he buys her breakfast sausage and makes it for breakfast every single day.  We[...]

Days With One

Tuesday, Zara took a big step and headed off to her first day of "school."  With the amount of work I have been doing, Chris and I decided it would be good for me to get some extra daylight work hours in, so we signed Zara up for a toddler pro[...]

Film Friday: Summer Splashin’

It has been a long time since I made a Film Friday video, but lately I've realized that I don't have a ton of videos with Zara in them so I resolved to get back into the habit of recording little clips of our days.  This little video is from l[...]

Unlikely Friendships Can Be The Best Friendships

Once upon a time, seven years ago, I graduated from college, married my sweetheart, then followed him across country far from family and friends, so he could go to culinary school.  Not long after moving to New York, I managed to land[...]

Lemonade Stand + Family Weekend

Nora had her first lemonade stand this weekend and it was pretty much the cutest thing ever.   We decided last minute to have a yard sale Saturday morning and I thought a lemonade stand would be a fun way to keep her entertained, so Friday[...]

Since it is "Throwback Thursday," I thought now would be as good a time as any to backtrack and share pictures from the summer solstice party at our farm.  Between a&n[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
