the first step to olympic gold in curling.

Posted on June 14, 2024January 5, 2025by sarah

other world.

Posted on June 12, 2024January 5, 2025by sarah

happy mothers day to me. </br>camping/hiking edition.

Posted on May 12, 2024February 8, 2025by sarah

Posted on April 9, 2024January 1, 2025by sarah

just after the dust settled from hosting easter in north carolina, we packed up and made our way north to spend spring break in beautiful, sunny, western new york. i used the road trip time to finish reading “the anxious generation” by jonathan haidt and it’s a must read for any parent navigating screens and […]
