Five Favorites: Saint Andrews, Canada
I’ve always dreamed of traveling internationally with my kids. The thought of exploring new cultures and languages with them. Exposing them to perspectives outside of their home country. Expanding their horizons and broadening their knowledge. As it turned out, our first international venture with the kids was less idyllic and more just trying to convince…

Weekend Wandering: Cheesy Trails to You
There are a few things I love in life – my family and friends, my dogs, travel, the mountains, and cheese. I feel like that list really defines me as a person. So what happens when you combine all of these great things? Only the best birthday surprise ever! Otherwise known as the Western North…

The Fountain of Youth
This weekend I got to visit my grandparents for a couple days of rest and relaxation by the lake. While I spent most of my time lazing around, there was someone who did not take a break from all her delicious cooking and running around taking care of us… Just watching my beautiful grandmother, Mama,…

March Madness / Sunday Supper
Yesterday was a true March day. You know that saying about March – “in like a lion, out like a lamb”? Well that’s pretty much how yesterday went. I woke up about 9:00 am yesterday morning to this: You probably can’t tell a lot from the picture. That’s because I was battling 40+ MPH winds…

Having a Crabby Day?
At some point last week we (Andrew) discovered something wonderful in the canal behind where we live…. Blue Crabs. For those of you who haven’t spent much time in Maryland or surrounding areas, you may not fully understand what a glorious discovery this is. Think of it this way – your favorite food, one that’s…

Sunday (Sunset) Supper
We were supposed to spend the day at a friend’s place watching football and having a cookout, but when he called out sick, I had to resort to dinner plan B. Fortunately I had picked up the fixins for nachos last night – one of my favorite go-to easy meals – and one that has…

Stick that in your pot and cook it
I got a crock pot for Christmas from Andrew’s mom, and can I just say – Best. Invention. Ever. I love all things magical – unicorns, Santa Claus, boyfriends who clean up after themselves (yup, got one of those too) – but when that magic involves food creation, it’s a whole new level to me.…

Sunday Supper
Another beautiful weekend comes to a close, and for me it was a perfect one filled with fantastic weather, glorious nature exploring, and time spent with new friends. What better way to end a great weekend than to sit down and enjoy a good meal? I can’t believe Christmas is less than a week away!…

Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in
I just had the most amazing weekend in New York City. And no, it did not involve the trailer – it was my last big hurrah of trailer-free living – move in happens this week! It did, however, involve adventures with three of the most wonderful people I know in one of the world’s…

Goodbye Summer…
It’s always bittersweet to bid adieu to summer. Even now without the anxiety of going back to school and losing days of freedom, every year it seems like the end of an era of fun. But I think what I’ll truly miss the most – since I’m not too sad about leaving the sweltering DC…
