Another day with a decent chunk of time in nature. We hiked up the ski mountain and back down again — mostly on well-worn trails. I then sat for a few hours on the balcony porch hoping for inspiration. I did write a bit…. but I’m not even remotely close to pleased with the results […]
Today was day three of the Max & Me holiday getaway. We spent the majority of the day out and about in the Vermont woods or back at the room resting between excursions. Six years ago, we visited this same area and during that trip we did two outdoor activities that have been repeated across […]
I am the kind of Mom that packs what we need to make homemade waffles and enjoy an oversized cup of coffee in our PJs while on vacation. Plus, seeing as this vacation kitchen has far more counter space and shinier appliances than ours at home, it didn’t feel arduous in the slightest. That’s enough […]
Made it to Vermont today. First stop even before heading to our Wyndham property? One of several Cabot Cheese locations. Unlike most cow cheeses processed in the US, Cabot Cheese is both delicious and 100% naturally lactose-free.

I’m headed on a mini-getaway tomorrow. Just me and my eldest child. . . the college kid. Quality one on one time in Vermont. This was originally planned months and months ago. 10 to be exact. We have time share points and I’ve been trying to get us back into this property ever since we […]
I’ve been chugging along. Day in and day out. Sometimes writing with ease and occasionally every word a struggle. Some days my inner voice is crystal clear and screaming with the need to be heard, to be written, to be shared. Even though I’ve been writing and counting every day, there are moments when they […]
It is only Thursday night and the week already feels incredibly long. . . I took a moment to breathe deep and recognized that it isn’t that the weekend *feels* long, it’s that it has been long! It’s been a days of early morning meetings with the middle east and late night calls with the […]
Continuing from yesterday’s post. The electric can opener rocks. On the other hand, my writing at the moment does not. Have a late night work call with Asia so I’m not pushing it for long in an attempt to turn that issue around this evening. Work calls. . . (I just could not avoid that […]
For the most part, I’m fairly happy with my age. I’m ok with this almost 50 thing. I can’t imagine going backwards and I’ve so much to look forward to in the future. Occasionally however, the body shows its age. I’m not talking about the lines on my face or the constant battle with my […]
