shortly after our last rv trip, like i’m talking just a few days after we arrived home, the world came to a screeching halt, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. when i think back to the news trickling in while we were in miami, it all seems so surreal. anyways, since our return, the camper has […]

last minute july fourth cupcakes.
due to pandemics, we didn’t have any extravagant fourth of july plans. we mostly laid low. ate a bunch of junk. and at the last minute, anna and i decided that a batch of not quite red, white, and blue cupcakes were in order. we looked up a few ideas on pinterest and instagram and […]
june. sigh. in quarantine-ish.
well. another month has come and gone and we are still in the middle of this coronavirus pandemic thing. during june, things opened up a bit more and we were able to get out and visit with friends a bit more, so it didn’t feel as locked down-y as months past. on one particularly hot […]
batavia, during quarantine.
as previously mentioned, in my letchworth post, a couple of weeks ago, the lidkids and i loaded up to head to batavia, to visit my mom, and break up the monotony of the quarantine. the drive was remarkably uneventful. we stopped twice. both time with little fanfare. and there was no traffic and smooth sailing. […]
letchworth state park.
last week-ish, the kids and i loaded up and headed to western ny to visit fam and have a little change of scenery. my mom was able to take a few days off work, and on one particularly lovely day, we drove out to letchworth state park to “hike” and be in the sunshine and […]
chicken flock 2.0
when we came off the road last year (almost exactly a year ago, sigh), we knew we wanted to get chickens. but, last year was pretty rough, trying to settle in and adjust, and acquire furniture, and just figure things out. so, we decided to wait until this spring/summer. thanks to the pandemic panic, when […]
epic amh quilt 2.0
during a spontaneous trip to my local quilt shop, i discovered they carried some fabrics from the newest line (hindsight) of one of my favorite designers (anna maria horner). even though i just completed my (first) epic anna maria horner quilt, it was inspiration to make another. i’ve had my eye on a herringbone quilt […]
quarantine may.
even though things started opening up in may, we mostly laid low, and did a lot of the same things we have been doing for the entire quarantine. music concerts, baking, sewing, dog snuggling, yard work. you know the drill. but then also a few outings, of varying degrees of excitement. 🙂 firstly. on anna’s […]
escape to hanging rock.
our trip to pilot mountain was just the jumpstart we needed to start getting out and about and hiking a bit more. so, later in the week, we packed up again, and this time headed to hanging rock state park. (ruby barfed on the way up, if you were wondering). our plan was to hike […]
escape to pilot mountain.
early in may, north carolina began phase one of “reopening” and part of that was state parks opening in various capacities. since it happened on a friday evening, we had no plans to venture out on that weekend with the masses of crazy people who had been cooped up for so long. then, it started […]
