How full is your head space? How do you unwind? To answer these questions, I spent three days with nature...come join me! My husband and our family tribe took a 3-hour drive to Pennsylvania to the Allegheny National Forest, near my hometown (who knew this was essentially in my back yard!) We camped for 4 [...]
In the midst of quarantine...I went back to work.... I really enjoyed my quite, peaceful mornings, sitting at my kitchen table, listening to the birds outside the window.... and working feverishly to implement a new EMR (Electronic Medical Records) software program for the medical practice I work for... to say I've been stressed is an [...]

My knitting gals got to our first Fiber Festival of the year! The Great Lakes Fiber Festival in Wooster, Oh... You definitely need to check it out. Tons of vendors... I [...]
April brings several things...sometimes snow, sometimes showers...but mostly a rebirth if you will... April is such a special month... my birthday, my husbands birthday, Christ beats death, and the earth renews...

Since my girlfriends and I are trying to coordinate going to 19 yarn shops when we all work full-time...it has become difficult...and we really want to hit ALL the stores.
