Life As We Know It or Why Contracts for Deed are the Worst Thing Ever
I spent most of today in this very spot, staring at this very print. In fact, it was the subject of today’s photo for my 365 project. I had a couple of maintenance requests to fulfill for my lovely past clients, and I finished up both a logo and a new website so I spend…

Why Colorado
Four hours later, I am still riding high on the excitement from tonight’s interview with a local farm for a working membership to their CSA. I have always enjoyed getting my hands dirty and participating (however possible) in the growth of our food, so when I started looking for a farm to join, I specifically…

Chapter Four
In four years, this blog has taken me from New York to Nantucket to Wyoming and now to Colorado. Four states in four years is a lot, but I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this most recent move. I took a few days (err, 16) off from blogging and Facebook when we…

And Then Life Happened
November was the craziest roller coaster of a month. Never in my life have I seen something go from rosy and perfect to miserable and horrible so quickly. One week Chris was cooking in a cabin in the Big Horns for Dick Cheney and just a week later everything was turned upside down. Honestly, when…

Exhaustion and Mommy Guilt
📍 WyomingIn my 28 years, I have moved nearly 20 times. I lived in nine different houses in three different states before graduating from high school. Once I went to college, I did the traditional move every year, and in the six years Chris and I have been married, we have lived in four different states…

Buttermilk Biscuits + Our Lovely New Kitchen
📍 WyomingI am in love with our new kitchen. It’s light and bright. It’s big and spacious. It’s the first kitchen we have ever had that actually fits every one of our appliances, kitchen tools and cooking utensils, with room to spare. It has double ovens, just waiting for Chris to fill with all sorts of…

I Give Up — A.K.A The Photo Dump Post
I give up. I have finally accepted the fact that real, actual blogging is just not going to happen anytime soon — but what should I expect? I’m moving for the second time in six months, with a preschooler, a baby, and a husband who works 70+ hours per week. This life is not exactly…

Finding Home
It has been three months since we moved to Wyoming and though we miss our Nantucket life and friends, we’re now fully integrated into our new community and finding things to love. I started a La Leche League group in April and have been pleased with both the turnout and the support from the community,…

Moving, Part Whatever
It is now safe to say that we are officially done moving. We made it through 11 states, through sunshine, rain and snow in an SUV packed full clothes, toys, kids and a dog, to new life in a new city far, far away. We have a house that is 99% put together with only…

Photos From the Road
Today was the longest day on the road – just about twelve hours from the minuscule town in Minnesota where we had stopped the night before, exhausted from a late, snow-delayed start. There were a few (not unexpected) moments of complaints from Nora and more than one potty break just 10 or 15 minutes after getting back on the…

Fun Along The Way
If you have to move across country, the only way to do it is with a little fun along the way. We took Saturday off from driving and spent the day playing around Pittsburgh with my friend Laura.I hadn’t been to Pittsburgh during cross-country car trips as a kid with my family, so it was…
