This isn’t really a recipe, just more of an idea. A yummy one. A couple or three or six years back, I made myself a New Year’s resolution to eat more whole grains. On some days, like this one, I feel masterful at this. Many other days, I pull out a head of romaine and […]
Harper Grace, you have been alive for a decade. Wow! Just as you amazed me from the moment you arrived, you continue to amaze me (and your dad and all of your family). I watched you this evening, carrying on conversations about all kinds of things. You, with your tall elegance, held your presence in […]
Jameson Grey turned eight years old on June 3. What?! There are countless things I love about my son, but do you know something that is really special? When he responds, “I love you, too,” he says it with enthusiasm and with a tonal uptick at the end. It’s as if his love is so […]
We left our sweet farmhouse in the rear view mirror and headed northeast to one of our favorite towns ever: Woodstock. It is quintessential New England. This trip, we were anxiously awaiting our stay at the Woodstock Inn. This inn is beautiful and charming, but large enough to offer many wonderful amenities for couples and […]
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.

As per his wishes, he spent his final months and days at his most treasured place: home. Home was where his spouse of 48 years, Mary Monzingo Goldsberry, took care of […]
Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week. In honor of this, I had the wonderful opportunity to submit a guest column in the Colorado Department of Education Newsletter. I thought I would share it here, as well. Thank you, teachers and staff, who work in schools. Appreciating the Extra Mile in a Marathon Year As the […]
I knew it would come! The green, it’s sprouting. The last time I was here, things were more like a muddled brown. I had to be patient. Today is May 1, and it is hard to not feel a little surge of optimism on this day. For most of us, there are more days of […]
