The wonderful thing was that it was a gorgeous day in Massachusetts for apple picking, which is a New England tradition I don’t think we’ve ever missed in our 14 years here ~ warm, sunny, and perfect for seeing the changing colors in the trees. The sad things were that we were dong it without… Read More Gluten Free/Paleo Friday ~ Exporting Apple Butter
This experience and post should definitely be filed under “things you never thought you would do,” because spending three days in NYC for the purpose of going to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is most certainly a thing I never thought I would do. Actually, I’m not sure I even knew the event existed, so it… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Prada and Paleo in NYC
These were some of our first glimpses of Acadia National Park upon arriving and driving down the park loop road. It was Robert’s fourth, my third, and Kory’s second time to be there, and we wanted to share it with Cooper and Kayla this summer ~ all of us together before saying goodbye to Kory… Read More Majesty in Maine
Tomorrow we head to Maine for a little bit of the above picture life, and I can’t wait! We’ll be camping in Acadia National Park for three nights and then staying near the beach in Ogunquit for three nights. This trip has become the highlight of our summer. Really, it’s the highlight of our whole… Read More The Maine Thing
I just Googled “baseball phrases.” Wow. There are multitudes of baseball related phrases and cliches we Americans use! I guess it truly is, or at least was, America’s pastime. I know it’s partly how my friends and I passed the time when we were young kids, and we had all kinds of alternative rules for… Read More “It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over”

Hello, “Sorry. This person moved or deleted this image.” Didn’t that Photobucket member realize that her free blog template design… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Popsicles, finally!

Yawn…just the birthplace of our country…site of the Boston Massacre…place where the Declaration of Independence was first read….yawn. So boring. If all goes according to plan, I will head to Boston in a few hours in order to pick Robert up at Logan airport. He’s coming home from his trip to the Dominican Republic tonight.… Read More Perpetual Tourist {Lent Day #35}
Kayla gets perfectly giddy over all things fall. She heats up a mug of cider every morning to go with her breakfast, counts the days until pumpkin and apple-picking outings, and begs me to stop and buy every scarecrow we see. Last week she got out the leaf-blower, created a pile of leaves, and entertained… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Today is a bit dreary here in New England, but the days leading up to this one have been perfectly gorgeous.
