I haven’t made anything in quite some time. The last thing I made is this wreath which is still happily hung on my door and I think it will be throughout the summer. It’s been a few weeks, so I’m itching to craft something up. I patrolled the pages of Pinterest and found some great …
Friday, finally. I feel like Spring in the Northeast doesn’t have a beginning. It has a battle to the death with winter and eventually wins. Wednesday was beautiful, sunny and warm. Spring kicked winter’s butt that day. But winter blasted spring in the face on Thursday with 60 mile per hour winds. Today was an …
My town has a little secret. It is home to a very rare thing. It’s an enchanted place. You can imagine fairies and sprites in the dappled sunlight. Or, you can look for the real life endangered species in this rare Alpine Bog Boardwalk. There are 17 of them here. Right in my backyard. Be …

I promised in yesterday’s post that I had a fun project to share, and I do! I’m going straight to the after photo, because I am that excited! This is something that my husband and I always wanted to do. We love sitting outside at night after the kids go to bed, but …
