November 8, 2017

As you probably already suspect, this post is going to be a little different than the previous ones. You see, I’ve been dabbling in the “blogosphere.” To be honest, I’m a writer who usually writes for other people’s blogs and websites, so I’ve been working on a focus for my own. In any case, you can… Read More Our Disney Fairy Tale Wedding – Part I

The Dog Gets Sandy At Baxter Boulevard // Portland, ME

September 21, 2017

On this beautiful September day, my dog Luna and I decided to head to Baxter Boulevard. It’s a 3.5-mile loop around the bay that has it all: blue ocean, city views, lush greenery, and skyline. From the seaside to the highway bridge, jogging the Back Cove Trail is like taking a mini tour of Portland, Maine.… Read More The Dog Gets Sandy At Baxter Boulevard // Portland, ME

Celebrating Luna’s “21st” Birthday

August 31, 2017

I’m so fortunate to be able to work from home. I get to roll out of bed and start by work day in pajamas. I can take breaks whenever I need to. Best of all, I get to be with Luna all day long.

Earlier this week, I headed off to New York with my sister Alaina. She invited me as her guest for an event to “Champion Equality. Make It Your Business,” hosted by Keds and Lola. It was phenomenal.

Fort Williams Park // Cape Elizabeth, ME

August 21, 2017

This stunning landmark is iconic of Maine, and luckily, it’s a destination that’s dog-friendly. One sunny Sunday, we ventured out to Fort Williams Park. Unsurprisingly, we weren’t the only ones with this idea. It was filled with sightseers, milling around the paths and pouring out of tour busses. But the open park still allowed us… Read More Fort Williams Park // Cape Elizabeth, ME

New England: The Perfect Place To Have A Dog

August 17, 2017

It is my humble opinion that New England is the perfect place to have a dog. The nature is endless. The scenery is ever-changing. The locals are dog-friendly, and increasingly, the businesses are too. Whether you brave all types of weather or you’re more of a homebody who likes to hunker down, there are so… Read More New England: The Perfect Place To Have A Dog

Mackworth Island // Falmouth, ME

August 16, 2017

If you find yourself in southern Maine with wooded trails and beaches on your mind, head to Mackworth Island, where you can enjoy a leisurely hike as well as a dip in the Atlantic. Tucked behind a seaside neighborhood off of Route 1, it’s conveniently located just beyond the main drag, but it feels like… Read More Mackworth Island // Falmouth, ME

Luna’s Adoption Story

August 16, 2017

This is our three-year-old Shar-Pei / mystery mix named Luna. My husband Rob and I adopted her from a local humane society after we moved from our home in New England to the south for our jobs. We’d been talking about getting a puppy for awhile and knew it’d be fun, but little did we know… Read More Luna’s Adoption Story
