We’re all exhausted from technology at this point. Burnout is a real thing. But I saw it coming months ago and thought – I don’t want to look back a year from (when COVID hit) and think, wow that was a dark time. I didn’t want to give up and let it win. Luckily for us, we were quarantined in Pennsylvania, with a broken arm however, so we had access… Keep Reading
Believe it or not, Animal Crossing has actually been around for years and was just recently introduced to Nintendo Switch (and Switch Lite). There is really NOTHING you can’t do in this game and it’s always showing us new and fun things to do. So it’s for adults, too? Yes! It’s one of my favorite games to play with Max together. We have tents, we grow flowers, we explore nature… Keep Reading

I’ve been asked what we used to do when we got sick on the farm since we didn’t have doctors readily available. Well, we just – got sick. We toughed it out. We never went to a doctor unless you lost a limb – literally. We did (and still do) use glue to close up “wounds” that aren’t life-threatening. That’s just the redneck way. So to say we’ve come a… Keep Reading
Ever walk into your home and be welcomed by a weird (gross) smell? We’ve all been there. Whether it was that new recipe you tried last night, the wafting aromas of the Hudson River, or.. is that? Yep. The bag of little league gear. Maybe it’s all of the above. Motherhood is always fun of full surprises. No one told me about stank. But alas, I am confronted with it… Keep Reading
In 2019, everyone is feeling the need to “do it all.” And you know what I mean. We’re talking insane levels of reality like bounce back from having a baby to present to the world within hours, look like you’re about to walk the red carpet at school drop off, bake Food Network worthy birthday cakes. So when do you have time to get to your perfectly curated yoga class… Keep Reading
Question – Who else has a child who (clearly) loves gifts for the holidays but yet, isn’t like us and flipped through the magazine pages and circled basically – everything? I am the mom who needs a little help from the big man to get the list of coveted items, and I lean in as I hear him whisper his treasures to Santa himself. It’s December [xx] and we’ve already… Keep Reading
I’ll be the first to admit I may live in New York City, but I love me a beat up pick up truck. Remember the ones that you actually had to tune in a radio station and roll down your own windows? Yeah – that one. With a few dents from having fun. I’ve always been a little old-school when it comes to automobiles, all this self-driving car technology scares… Keep Reading
Survey says, Max is bored being home with me everyday, all day. You think I would have learned my lesson. I used to laugh reading all those Facebook posts of moms cringing that summer was coming – that they were already counting down the days until their kids were BACK in school. It can’t be THAT BAD right? I mean, for those few years before pre-k Max never went to… Keep Reading
After spending a weekend completely unplugged in Vermont (our little barn cottage literally didn’t even have a TV!), I have realized I miss some of the things I grew up with: reading books under a tree, really good homemade pie, and photographs on the shelves of your home. Seriously – when is the last time you printed a photo? I took all these amazing shots in Vermont, and I thought,… Keep Reading
