If I Could Save Time In A Bento…

If I Could Save Time In A Bento…

Let me start by saying that I hate being busy. I like to wake up slow and take my sweet time figuring out what to do with my day. I like to take a wait and see approach. I love cancelled plans and snow days, simply for that moment of revelation when I’m suddenly free […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]

The One About Midlife, Mountains, and Becoming an Antique

The One About Midlife, Mountains, and Becoming an Antique

 An antique covered bridge delivers you into the tiny center of Cornwall with fanfare, as the booming sound of tires on wood reverberates around you. The tiny village sits seemingly sheltered from this century, in the northwest corner of Connecticut,  surrounded by mountains and a river. We always take this detour off the main road and […]

Learning About Horses – Homeschool Study Resources

Learning About Horses – Homeschool Study Resources

“Mom, can I have a horse?” I’ve been hearing this question on a regular basis for the past 8 years. I don’t mind. Each time it is asked, a new conversation begins and we explore a different aspects of horse ownership.  The Adventurer (now 13) started riding seriously at 4. Yes, she does most everything […]

Moments at Acadia National Park

Moments at Acadia National Park

Traveling with family is best viewed by looking at individual moments, not as  good days and bad days.   We took our little women on their longest road trip to date, an 8+ hour drive, to Acadia National Park on the coast of Maine. The trip was intense in one moment, then hilarious, then heart-stopping […]

16 Hours in Lake Placid

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

Little High, Little Low {The Trials of a Sugar Addict}

The following post is a flashback, written shortly after I was diagnosed with Lyme and put on a restricted diet. Years later,  I’m still on it. I’m still dealing with Lyme. A true addict, I’m still craving the sweet stuff. A few things are essential to my happy survival. They are faith, hope, love and until […]

Fostering a Love of Art

When I was a young teenager, I visited the Museum of Modern Art in NYC for the first with my family. I clearly recall standing next to my father, in front of a painting titled Red Bird (not to be confused with The Red Bird, by Marc Chagall). It was a tremendous white canvas with a single pin sized […]
