mothers day weekend with the middle kid.

Posted on May 11, 2025May 17, 2025by sarah

a few weeks before mother’s day, unsure of what i wanted to do to celebrate myself (and the birthing of three children), i was poking around some state parks to see what camping options were available. much to my surprise, gorges state park had one last campsite opening, so i snagged the reservation, not really […]

april things.

Posted on April 30, 2025May 8, 2025by sarah

with the school calendar moved up a bit, april has gotten a little bit busier. it used to be the calm before the storm, complete with a bit of spring break crammed in there. but now all of the end of year stuff really starts gearing up. and, there was literally one day off from […]

yet another escape to stone mountain…

Posted on April 30, 2025May 2, 2025by sarah

a few days back, it was “cardio day” on my workout routine, so i packed my standard cardio items to go to the gym after i dropped off the girls at school. then, on a whim, i grabbed some bare minimum hiking essentials also. i literally had no idea which activity i planned to do, […]

easter twentytwentyfiver.

Posted on April 20, 2025May 1, 2025by sarah

we hosted the easter festivities at our (stupid new house) again this year. which was obviously just my big fat excuse to make one million easter themed treats and sweets. despite plans to make two cakes and decorate sugar cookies with the girls, i decided it would be necessary to also make massive brown butter […]

impromptu to boone. (mostly a tale about another solo hike).

Posted on April 6, 2025April 10, 2025by sarah

in an attempt to spice up our life a little, and not sit around all weekend in this stupid house, we made a semi-spontaneous decision to head to boone with the fam. and then we also made the decision to have me go up a day early to have some alone time without the fam. […]

march (very non-)madness

Posted on March 31, 2025April 10, 2025by sarah

march was really quite boring around here. aside from a solo camping trip for me and a trip to nyc for derek and anna, the rest of the month was just standard mundane life. maybe even less exciting than that. first of all, i know this to be true, because about half of my camera […]

anna and derek in the big apple to see ponyboy.

Posted on March 13, 2025April 10, 2025by sarah

i had high hopes of getting either derek or anna to write this blog post, but it looks like you’re stuck with me. i’ll do my best, considering i wasn’t even there. ok. so. it goes like this. anna is OBSESSED with the outsiders musical. we thought it would be a super cool birthday gift […]

spring break (in my late 40s).

Posted on March 8, 2025March 19, 2025by sarah

my spring break at forsyth tech was a measly four days long and also did not coincide with the girls spring break from public school, so it seemed like another good time to make a dash into the wilderness, for a little solo, camping, hiking, rest, and recharge trip. since it was the first week […]

febz blog. in a timely fashion.

Posted on February 28, 2025March 4, 2025by sarah

whereas january felt like it was seven months long, i blinked and february was gone. our february this year was pretty darn uneventful. outside of my stone mountain hike, all of the happenings of february qualify for this “monthly recap post” if that tells you anything about the excitement level over here. still mostly rolling […]

another stone mountain escapade

Posted on February 7, 2025February 21, 2025by sarah

after a busy holiday season and then a stupidly snowy january, when the first day of sunshine rolled around (with the kiddos sitting in their desks at school), i hopped in the car and headed to the mountains. stone mountain is a favorite local hike, and it had been closed for a bit of time […]
