I miss my big old furry pony every single day. That snowy weather on the other hand…not so much!
What better time to break out the moccasins than Thanksgiving?
I’m always in charge of desserts for the holidays. Chocolate pudding pie is my normal go-to but for this occasion I figured a good old fashioned pumpkin pie would be a better fit. I used a frozen pie crust – mainly because my grandmother always does. I also think that Libby’s canned pumpkin is the […]
Ryan and I hosted our first party at the new (mostly finished) house this weekend. It was the perfect time for a ‘Friendsgiving’ so we made a turkey and had all of our friends bring their favorite Thanksgiving dish. It was the first time I’d ever participated in the turkey making part of Thanksgiving and […]
Have you ever seen What About Bob? You know that scene where he’s tied to the front mast yelling ‘I sail! I’m a sailor, I saillll!!!!’ Well that’s how I felt when Hillary invited Jess and I to go sailing on her dad’s boat, the Meridian. It was a beautifully sunny fall afternoon and we […]

Yesterday we met several of our friends at Pat’s Peak in New Hampshire for a day of snow-filled fun. I spent the morning snowboarding with Ryan and then finally decided that maybe it wasn’t for me. I traded in my board for some trusty skis and hit the slopes again. It wasn’t that I didn’t […]
When Ryan and his co-workers found out they would be spending a few days working in Denver, CO they decided to extend the trip to include two days in Breckenridge. I have wanted to learn to snowboard for quite some time now and I figured this was as good a time as any. I took […]
