Lent. 40 days (6 weeks, not including Sundays + 4 days) if you’re wondering exactly how Lent is 40 days #CatholicMath Anyway. A time of penitence (prayer, fasting and alms giving) in preparation for Easter. I appreciate the Lenten season in that it is a more simplistic time, to be quiet and rest. Contemplative, cozy.…

More mom-vice for my kids (and anyone else who needs to hear it) This is a toughie, because from my 50-something perspective there is so much looking BACK that I would love a re-do on in regards to my OWN health and habits, but we can’t live in the past and it creates a non-productive…

As you know, from my whiny December post, we have had very little snow so far this winter and what we have had has been washed away by yet more rain and unseasonably warm temps…cue global warming discussion. Kidding, kidding. But not about the rain or warm temps. Anyhooooooooo, we finally received snow. Snow to…

To my kids, who I love so much my heart aches sometimes, You may be rolling your eyes, but there is a good chance you may have children one day, and whether it is one child or a brood of rascals, you’ll learn this the first time you hold them in your arms and they…

And we have no snow in sight. Cue stomping of feet. There is cold though. And a bit of rain in the forecast. Again. Sigh. One thing I am learning about New England weather is that she’s a fickle B. Anyway…..life marches on. December is screeching to an end, we are marching past the winter…

Apparently this is just how it’s working out. Although……I do have some blog posts brewing in my head, working on how to find the time and energy to put them HERE. October brought out some foliage, a baptism (who doesn’t love the smell of chrism oil on a baby’s head?!?!?), a visit from our youngest…

Mid-September with Fall officially around the corner (next week!) and I have completed my Boston contract. GREAT people, super busy campus (15k steps/day and that was just during my shift!) and such a uniquely interesting experience living in the city for 3 months. So, while Boston is a great place to visit, my heart and…

July is off to its traditional LOUD start with the 4th of July celebrations and our American love of amateur pyrotechnics and Russian roulette of keeping all the fingers intact while doing so. New Hampshire allows personal fireworks, staying on brand with “Live Free or Die” so Bandit has been a sad pup the last…

Time is a downhill freight train with no brakes and waits for no one. Proof = July 1 is in 4 days. What the actual HECK?!?! I am writing from Boston, where I am already on the 4th week of my contract. And maybe you are wondering (or not) how a suburban Florida beach girl…

So what have I been doing while I’ve been in FL these past couple of months in between work and sleep?(that Night Shift life!) I caught a night launch Took our son and his girlfriend to Main Street during Bike Week for some people watching. Always an interesting cross- section of humanity. But fun in…
