Luck and location. That’s how I wound up with two of my absolute lifelong best friends. I’m writing this post today, as I’m celebrating one of those friends from a distance(Cheerio Linds!) who has a birthday today (and is across the pond) and my other friend (Hey Crim!) who had a birthday on the 13th,… Continue reading It’s not the house. It’s the home.

To My Nana
April 21st, 2021. Happy heavenly 100th to my Nana. I’ll never stop loving you. ❤️ From the moment I arrived to the moment we said goodbye, my Nana was at the top of the list as one of my absolute fiercest protectors and providers of love and care. She taught my mom how to shower… Continue reading To My Nana
Revisiting My 30 Lessons and Reminders:
Feelings Are Meant To Be Felt: Last week, I celebrated my 31st birthday. It was beyond perfect for what a covid birthday could look like these days. I’m still trying to gather my thoughts on how fortunate I feel to have had the outpouring of love and celebrations in every form (including a Cameo from… Continue reading Revisiting My 30 Lessons and Reminders:
UConn: Built for the Madness
Last night I was headed to bed after yet another long but productive day of quarantine life and two of my friends texted me about how crazy the UConn basketball game was. Typically, I would have been watching the game, as I consider myself a massive UConn fan (though, I’m willing to admit – especially… Continue reading UConn: Built for the Madness
Getting Old.
Today as I sat on my parents couch on Zoom with my parents, my brother, sister in law, and seven year old nephew, it was a reminder – this is getting old. For all of us. My sweet nephew, who has been on Zoom school for the week, following a positive case near to his… Continue reading Getting Old.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! It’s a bit odd for a Patriots fan to not be rooting for our team today but there is some familiarity…with Tom Brady at the charge. However, I’m solely in it for the food this year. Food, yet again, is the star of the show on Super Bowl Sunday. So many… Continue reading This started as a recipe
30 years and 30 lessons (reminders) in 2020:
This was going to be the year. I was in agreement with so many others – 2020, it just had a nice ring to it. I started it off with a bang – breaking up with (or getting dumped by) my boyfriend – followed by booking the bucket list trip (to the Laplands for the… Continue reading 30 years and 30 lessons (reminders) in 2020:
THE MVP of 2020 Goes To….Two!
Ma & Dad 2020 was a year in which we spent little time with people outside our “bubble” and more time than ever with those in our bubbles. This past March, I made the decision with my parents to “join their bubble”. We were all on the same page and it was convenient/safe enough for… Continue reading THE MVP of 2020 Goes To….Two!
On Holiday cards.
Growing up in a family of four from a small town holiday cards were a staple. I waited every year to be the designated card opener. There were a few people that always sent their cards early. We’d open each card, my parents would read the note, and then we’d display them in our living room. Some years… Continue reading On Holiday cards.
Snow Days
Occasionally I copy exactly what I put on Instagram and Facebook and plant it here. It’s really for myself so I can easily access the posts that mean the most to me. And this is one of those. A superintendent in West Virginia went viral when she sent a letter canceling school today – the… Continue reading Snow Days
