We’ve been busy and more importantly, we’ve been happy. One of the reasons we bought this house is because it has this sweet little one bedroom apartment on the first floor. We saw lots of potential good use for this space (more on that later) and this past August, after our long term tenant moved [...]
Tonight our very last meal is being delivered to our doorstep and this past Monday I posted my very last guest post as part of my babymoon guest post series. Although it’s hard for me to believe sweet Ninu is indeed six weeks old and nearly all grown up. I plan on soaking up every [...]
I am participating in Shakti Mama’s Portrait Project. This week our assignment was our eyes. Play along or just take a peek. *************** Joy This was one of the few photos I took a few hours after I learned the midwifery legislation I worked so hard on was signed into law. I was high on [...]
{this moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, join in over at SouleMama. **********

It’s a way for locals to celebrate the arrival of summer and there is a heavy focus on local music and art. Everything is kicked off on Thursday night at the big parade. We actually live [...]
We celebrated Easter today. The Easter Bunny brought the boys new galoshes. The sun was shining so we immediately *RAN* to a favorite nature reserve of ours… …and jumped over a little stream…. …and put those boots right to the test! Since they worked we looked for treasures… …and walked hand in hand down the [...]
In the spirit of the holiday I went through and picked out some photos that invoke the humility of gratitude. You may have seen a few before, but hopefully they are worth seeing again. May you find you and yours well as we enter this holiday season; a time for celebration, reflection and centering. * [...]

We jumped at the opportunity, packed the truck and headed to the White Mountains of NH where Stone’s family has a simple, and charming camp. Camp brings relief with its simple pleasures and we’ve been living the good life. :: playing in the water [...]
