Weekend Getaway
- Posted on Mar 27, 2011
A few weeks ago I spent the weekend with my three sisters in the charming town of Stonington, CT. Actually, that’s how we found it… I googled charming Connecticut towns and there it was! My sister scoured the coastal CT rental housing market through http://www.vbro.com/ and http://www.homeaway.com/ and here’s where we landed… an adorable house in downtown Stonington (better ...

Let the summer begin! It’s time for us to head back to the beach and I’m so ready for it. A friend of mine reminded me the other day of this photo my husband took of our early morning beach set up… he was so proud he just had to document it. I have to say it was ... Read More

“What I Did On My Spring Vacation”

I spent the week in Carlisle, PA visiting the folks and wanted to share some photos of our trip. I debated whether this is relevant to my blog’s ‘purpose’… but it has a bit of architecture (a beautifully landscaped home), and some design (a fluorescent ‘skylight’), and plenty of life (a toddler loving trains!) I do appreciate that what I do for a living just happens to blend ... Read More

Outdoor Living… Italian Style

Being cooped up for the winter is tough. As I said, I love connecting with the outside… it keeps me sane. We try to spend time outside everyday but when I can’t, daydreaming will have to do… Ahhh, the family trip to Italy last June. It warms me up just thinking about the expansive vistas ... Read More
Living With Less?

Every once in awhile I treat myself to 10 minutes of Oprah. I figure it’s the one perk of juggling work and kids… the opportunity to watch a little daytime television if I’ve got a free moment. We don’t have Tivo or cable so the slim pickin’s keeps me focused on work. But if I ... Read More
