  • Today’s prompt is a great question as we just moved back to New Hampshire. We’ve always dreamed of living in NH, so we are incredibly happy. When I turn left off of my street, I can see mountains. We are just minutes away from some mountain hiking, which we love to do and I am…

  • Finders Keepers!

    This was a tough one and it took me a while to think of a good one. That being said, I think the coolest thing I found and kept (had to buy it though) was the Joy of Cooking 1953 hardcover version. I love this cookbook and used to have a newer version but it…

  • Daily Routine

    There isn’t any part of my routine that I try to skip, at least on workdays. I am a creature of habit and like to have my mornings structured to mentally set me up for a good workday. I also have fibromyalgia and mornings are tough. By establishing and following a routine, I don’t forget…

  • Northern Lights

    I, like many people last night, went out to view the Northern Lights. Unfortunately, we’re very close to downtown in Manchester, NH so it was hard to see due to the light pollution. Through my phone’s camera, I was able to see a small amount of color. It is awesome to see them. It was…

  • Last week we took our first hike back in New Hampshire. We went to Marjory Swope park and took the Swope Loop trail up to Jerry Hill and then over to the mountain vista. I am barely 4 months out from my hysterectomy and still about 100 pounds overweight so for me to do any…

    When we moved back north to New Hampshire, I didn’t have a job. I had a good phone interview and an email conversation with a city job. I got 2 in person interviews with these 2 jobs when I first got here. I finally heard back today from the city job that I will be…

  • Jeff & Duke

    Pets are good for the soul – they truly love us unconditionally because they don’t see our flaws. They just look to us as their faithful companions. We got our cat, Jeff, almost 10 years ago when he was 4 months old. We had just moved into our first apartment together. We went to the…

  • I Love Camping!

    When we were living in North Carolina, we were able to buy a brand new camper (which we lived in for the last year we were living there). We were so lucky to have been able to do this and now that we moved back north to New Hampshire, we can have it towed up…

  • Motivation is key!

    I love listening to motivational podcasts. My favorite is Motiversity on Amazon Music. It’s usually compilations of motivational speakers. It gets me out of my own head and helps me focus on what really matters. It is so very easy to be lazy and let each day go by without really accomplishing anything but just…

  • Grammar Police

    In school, I always loved English class. I loved all aspects from grammar to writing to literature. I remember in fifth grade reading the entire English textbook in the first month of school. Yes, I was THAT nerd! LOL I enjoyed writing essays on books I read and still do it sometimes just for fun.…
