Simple Birthday Joy
Today, at 3:47 pm, Nora turned three. We have her big birthday party planned for Sunday morning (please, please send no rain vibes our way), but I couldn’t let today pass without a celebration and making sure that our little girl knows just how amazing she is. I let Nora choose what she wanted for…

Kansas City Part Two
I must still be on central time, or maybe I’m just too excited about sharing photos from the end of our trip, but it’s 1:30 am and I’m not tired at all. It’s funny; I’ve gone through phases when late, late night just worked for me: middle school, when I would stay up for hours…

Kansas City Part One
We are sitting on a plane waiting to fly away from our fabulous week with family in Kansas City. Chris (who flew in on Friday) is sitting across the isle showing Nora how to “sew” on a threading toy, so I thought I might try to get a post out on my cell phone…which is…

Traveling
Yesterday, we traveled. Up early, kissed Chris goodbye , and boarded a propeller plane to soar away from Nantucket. There were some delays which, luckily, didn’t seem to bother my little mama much. We played with toys, walked all through the airport exploring exciting things like moving sidewalks, and finally, nearly 12 hours later, we made…

Island Love
This past week I have been on a Nantucket high. From beach parties with friends to lighthouse visits, lots and lots of swimming, and beautiful boats, I kept feeling like I should be pinching myself. This is our third summer here and I still can’t quite believe it. At moments, the beauty and magic of…

Strawberry Syrup
One of my favorite things about summer’s abundance is making up for our fruit-starved winters with fruit overload. Though Nantucket doesn’t have the same local variety that comes with pick-your-own orchards over every hill as in the Hudson Valley, we still make the most of summer fruits eating them every way imaginable. Fruit syrup…
