Happy Summer! Weather-wise it’s felt like summer here since, oh, April or so – but now that the kids are out of school and the college students have returned to their hometowns for the next few months, my city has thinned out and I’m finally getting to enjoy a slower pace of life. This post …
Oh, Happy, Happy Weekend. For a short week, this certainly felt like a long one. I always need a recovery weekend after a weekend away, and today we’ve made plans to be only semi-productive. We’ll head to the gym shortly, and then come home to do a little cleaning around the house (which gets neglected …

My internal clock is still out of whack. This post contains affiliate links and I may receive a small …
I am not on board with this time-changing business, particularly when it occurs at the end of my Spring Break and I have to return to work the following day after a week of late nights and a little dabbling in sleeping in. It is what it is, I suppose, but if our state government …
Happy Weekend to you! I’m loving this relaxing weekend at home with Michael because it’s equal parts productive (we saw a touring Broadway show, went to the gym, filed my taxes, published a post) and lazy. Today we’ll begin packing for our New England trip, which could be an issue because we’ll be experiencing a …
