A year ago today I was so naively gallivanting through the streets of NYC, completely unaware that it was anything but an ordinary family vacation. I am so easy to surprise. And I’m so glad I said yes.

The 1st Vegetable Garden. Taking on any sort of vegetable was new to me this Spring/Summer so we decided to start small. The soil is sandy and rocky and although we talked about adding something to make it more nutritious, other than The Husband watering it every now and then and picking weeds when we… Continue reading fun things in life

Today you find me in a pair of running shorts and an oversized t-shirt. Want to know how oversized? Just imagine how much bigger The Husband is than me and picture me in one of his larger t-shirts.
