Fall in love with being alive
I can’t coin the term Microadventure, that belongs to Alastair Humphreys and the word basically means an adventure that is “small and achievable, for normal people with real lives”. Technically I think it’s supposed to be an overnight adventure but who has time for that, really? I’ve been thinking a lot about this idea lately and […]
There’s a saying “cardinals appear when an angel is near” I couldn’t find where this quote came from so I think it’s probably a motivational quote version of creepypasta1. Even with that I think about it every time I see cardinals, especially since losing my grandparents who were both bird watchers. Especially since in the […]
Christmas is over, the tree is sadly dragged to the curb, the decorations are put away. The house feels a little empty now. Despite all this, we found some time for a little more Chrirstmas cheer in the form of the Broome County Festival of Lights. We obviously started with some hot chocolate, we tuned […]
I hope you had a Happy New Year. I spent New Years Eve playing Quidditch Pong with my husband and New Years Day walking the empty streets of Corning, NY with my Mom. Saturday I celebrated Christmas with my immediate family and met my new niece for the first time. We opened presents and ate […]
So the week between Christmas and New Years I like to take a little time to make goals for the New Year. These aren’t New Year Resolutions, mind you, more like corporate goals for things I’d like to achieve. And just in case you think I’m kidding, I’m not. I seriously do this every year. […]
Today I want to talk about fear. I think fear is something you learn, either from other people, (let’s say your parents) or from your own experiences. Two examples: My mom LOVES ladybugs. So as a kid if I ever found a ladybug, I would pick it up and bring it to my mom to […]
We went to the Adirondacks with some friends this past summer and somehow the topic of favorite cookies came up. I mentioned Spritz cookies as one of my favorites, which our friends had never heard of. This seemed insane to me and my husband who both had memories as a kid of the REEEEEE sound […]
Let me just put it out to the world that I love a homemade Christmas gift. Like to the point that I feel it should be a requirement. No more fancy, expensive crap for Christmas, save that for birthdays, homemade items only. If only I thought myself capable of revolutions, I would spearhead this one, […]
Guys, I have a confession to make. I’m one of those people that LOVES Christmas. Like by the time October hits, I’m ready for the decorations, the tree, the music, and entirely too many cookies. I plan my Christmas shopping all year long. I drink what can only be considered an inappropriate amount of eggnog […]
Sometimes you just need to go on an adventure. Even if it’s a dumb one. If you’ve been following along you know that me and my husband bought a travel trailer over the summer. We’re hoping to be able to travel more often and with a pandemic in full swing, what safer way is there […]
