Wild blueberry smoothies on a warm summer day in Maine. We’ve been to the pool or hot tub almost every day this week and I’m pretty sure Sunday and Monday will be our last few days to hit 80. We are soaking up the last bit of summer and also looking forward to a beautiful, crisp, New England fall.
Project 365: 28/365
Classes all day and a late night zoom meeting tonight. Sometimes ptsd recovery and growth means being able to try new things and I don’t ever think I’ll stop being amazed and grateful for that. I have been a mentor and teacher in the last decade plus but it’s been a verrrry long time since I’ve been a student. Definitely out of my comfort zone. I will share more soon! @thegatewayprocess369

I was sure he’d be excited to go swimming but so far he was most excited to wash […]
Several months ago I asked in instagram stories if anyone I know has returned to an old school way of storing recipes. I’ve grown more and more frustrated with trying to find our favorite recipes online, Pinterest posts that are dead links because bloggers quit hosting their site, unorganized notes, bookmarks, recipes in my head I have to share out loud if anyone else is cooking. So frustrating. I want to not only make our day to day life easier so we all have our favorites in one place, I want to hand down our food traditions to our kids. I initially decided on a binder and […]
Early morning travel day scene. Goal: up and out by 8 am! Reviewing a map, washing dishes, filling our collapsible crates, T directing boys this way and that way, electronics and a cooler waiting to go out to the truck, Dustbuster ready to dust. Sometimes I forget how weird it is that we regularly pack up our house and move it around. After almost 6 years fulltime, we got packing up down to a science. Everyone has their own jobs to do and we have a shared note with a checklist to make sure we don’t forget anything! Taryn is especially efficient on travel days, she gets up and gets it […]
