Let It Snow ~ All The Moments Continued...
December 9, 2011
Yesterday was just one of those days. A day filled to the brim with the life we've dreamed of living. After Wednesday I needed a day like this. I feel kind of silly sharing all the goodness with you - like I'm bragging or something, which I'm not. But I ...
A Weekend Trip to Maine ~ To Summit Mt. Katahdin
November 4, 2011
One of the things we wanted to do before we left Maine was to hike Mt. Katahdin - Maine's highest peak and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Over the years there have been a couple dates planned for this mountain and none of the them worked out. We ...
Let's Talk About Fear
October 14, 2011

A Summer of Hiking
September 28, 2011
I'm still in denial about the end of summer. It doesn't help when fall is such a gorgeous season here in Nova Scotia (it makes up for the cold, wet, miserable spring). There are some days still hot enough for the beach. Who can think about autumn and the inevitable ...
The Beach (Some Kid's Books Too)
September 22, 2011

Mama Goes Minimalist (or Maybe Not)
September 15, 2011
When we moved, I did what all the minimalist/downsize your life gurus suggest to do with your clothes. Get rid of them. Not all of them of course. I tried to keep only those pieces of clothing that were either useful or beautiful - from that oft quoted William Morris ...
