I have a thing for tropical islands. My mom and I went to St. Thomas last year and I’d been looking for the next trip for a while. When I found the Samsara resort in Jamaica I knew it was the place. The hotel is built into the cliffs so the only way to get […]
I love the 4th of July. Always have, always will. I can’t tell you how many years I sat on my family’s front porch on Pleasant Street watching the parade. I always loved the horses in the parade but the absolute best part was when my grandfather would march by with the firemen. Of course, […]
This was the last of the fishing I did in Vermont this weekend. Chris, Mike and Ryan had been down there for a while and I decided to join them for a little while. I caught about 7 fish while I was down there and Chris decided it was time I learn how to take […]
As I got to Aunt Nancy’s finish line and my starting line my excitement started to get the best of me. I couldn’t sit still, and couldn’t wait to take off. Then I calmed down a little and realized that people were starring and I needed to conserve a little bit of energy. I like […]
There are no words to express how much I appreciate all of the people that came to Vermont to cheer us on. To my friends and family who bought raffle tickets, to Todd and Greg and Ryan for designing us adorable dancin machines, to Alex for printing our shirts, thank you all so, so much. […]
This weekend when we were in Vermont we had some visitors that had never been before. I got all excited about showing them around and doing all of the touristy things that I love so much. Of course, Ben & Jerry’s was at the top of my list. We went on Friday and did the […]
This weekend I got to see Rachael and her team play (and win!) their last game of the season. Congratulations to the 2012 Metro West Tournament Champions. But next time girls, lets seal the ‘W’ a little sooner. I almost had a heart attack – the suspense was just too much for me!
My grandmother makes the worlds best Christmas cookies. Literally, all cookies will be ruined after you try one of these. Not only do they taste amazing, but she has the most magical frosting skills I’ve ever seen. Have you ever seen someone decorate about 500 cookies all exactly perfectly the same? I have. It’s an […]
I spent Christmas in New Jersey this year with Ryan and both of our moms. It’s always fun to change up Christmas plans and I had such a good time being part or their traditions. The first night that we got there Ryan and I decided to set up his train under the tree. I […]
When my Aunt Nancy asked me to run a half marathon with her I laughed – and then I realized she was serious. On May 27, 2012 Team Dancin’ Machine will be running 13.1 miles for the American Cancer Society. And I will likely be scowling at my Aunt Nancy (who better be running right […]
