There isn’t one person I know who’s life wasn’t completely upended by the Covid-19 pandemic. Whether it was the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of a trip, or all of the above, people experienced a lot of loss in 2020. Many people had extra time on their hands…… Continue reading Art in the Time of Covid {4.2021}
Last month, my husband and I celebrated two years of marriage with a trip (our first in over a year) to San Francisco.

Welcome, Autumn! My favorite season of the year is finally here – autumn. The air is beginning to get crisp as the days grow shorter. Soon we will be getting out our coziest sweaters and socks and sipping tea and cocoa while reading a book by the fire (or, in my case, faux fireplace). It…… Continue reading Autumn Strolls {September 2020}

Hello all! How is it almost Halloween already?! This year really seems to have flown by, but this is just the beginning of my favorite time of year: there are pumpkins and costumes and candy to come so, so soon – then comes my birthday and Thanksgiving, and I do love to cook – followed…… Continue reading Pumpkin Farm {2019}

Happy New Year! 2019 is here! I know I’m a day late posting about this, but I was soaking in my last full day with my fiancé before he had to go back to work. We had a wonderful last day of 2018 – we went for a 5 mile hike, got sushi for dinner,…… Continue reading Welcome, 2019!
