After a sweet morning with the herd, we left Stowe with an eye on lunch. And what better to have for lunch than ice cream? Our first visit was to Ben and Jerry’s in Waterbury. This is the site of the original Ben and Jerry’s factory. Though it’s closed for tours until later this month […]

Another school year is in the books. Last Thursday, we closed up shop on second grade (Jameson), fourth grade (Harper), year seventeen (Jason), and year sixteen (me). The year was, again, a strange one. It was fast, yet so many memories seem like decades ago. Jason and I are proud of our kiddos, who succeeded […]
We stole off to start summer. More to come when we return. Happy Memorial Day weekend. I hope it brings rest, family, and high hopes for the season ahead.
Hello, March. I hear you knocking. I must admit, you are not my favorite month. You tend to tease us a bit, what with your previews of spring, only to be knocked down again with swift reminders of ice and snow. However, you are two wonderful things: the gateway to a new season and the […]
Hello friends. It’s been a while. I got swallowed up. Life got the best of us for a bit there … some sad but navigable family health news, an impromptu visitor from out of state, a faulty furnace, parent/teacher conferences, and regular momming took over. But, the good news is that we got spit back […]
Who would have thought that we would be canceling travel and postponing plans as we ring in 2022? Could any of us predicted how tumultuous, how ongoing, or what a journey this pandemic would be? Just a couple of weeks ago, our family canceled (again) a vacation we had been hoping for. I know we […]
We were sad to leave Vermont but excited to board a car ferry! For Harper and Jameson, this was a first. It was completely cute to watch them as I explained that our entire car was going to drive onto a boat. Really?! There are three different locations that you can grab a ferry to […]
We just returned from a most lovely place. So much green, dotted with red barns. Quiet, peaceful, and lovely. Let me tell you about our trip to Vermont (and, kindly allow me to photo dump upon you). First, we were thrilled to discover that there are multiple direct flights from Denver to Burlington. Score! Our […]
Last week, we packed up and hit the road! A couple of years ago, Harper began to talk about visiting South Dakota after seeing commercials on television for it. We had it on the books for last summer, but Covid canceled our plans. So, we were jazzed to finally get to go! And, I think […]
The last time Jason and I were in a casino, we had to ask where to put our quarters. We did not realize that the days of inserting actual coins were long gone and that everything had become digitalized. In addition to this naiveté, we were also the first of our group that night to […]
