day out to workout

As I write this, it is 20 degrees out and we are having a snowstorm.

It feels wrong to be posting these photos from August, but I realized I never shared them and now seemed like a good time to get them up.

first day of summer vacation

It’s funny going through these photos, since they were taken back in June. It was the first weekend of summer vacation, and I had just said goodbye to my amazing students the day prior. (Including a very emotional hug with a 5th grader – we had really connected over the past five years, and she was sad to be leaving me to go to the middle school! So sweet!)

a great day

When these photos were taken, I couldn’t have been happier!

the bob ross dress

Ever since I first saw this dress on ModCloth, I have referred to it as the “Bob Ross Dress.” The mountains…the fluffy clouds…the happy little trees…this thing has “Bob Ross” written all over it.  All it needs is his signature in the lower corner, done in some thinned-down red paint.

down by the station

Back in August 2015 I took some photos at Depot Park in Bedford, MA.   I love this location at the end of the Minuteman Bike Trail mostly because of the vintage passenger car that’s parked there.  It was once part of an old Boston commuter line which ran for over 100 years from 1873-1977.

winter brights

Back in mid-December, we had our first good snowfall of the season.

As much as I hate the cold weather, there is something magical about snow!  Everything always seems so calm, quiet, and peaceful when it snows.  Plus, I love how beautiful the ground and trees look when covered in a blanket of white.

winterthur estate

When Dave and I were in NJ for Thanksgiving, his parents suggested taking a drive to Delaware to visit the Winterthur estate.

the red door

Sorry for the long absence!  I have been busy with wrapping up the end of the school year, getting started on more grad classes (aughh), and enjoying some time outside in the amazing weather!

a makeshift marilyn moment

One more post from my trip to NYC last month!

My mom and I were walking around Central Park, and we were trying to figure out where to go next.  I grew up on Long Island which means I have been to NYC more times than I can count, so we don’t typically do many touristy things.

However, my mom said to me, “I think the Marilyn Monroe subway grate isn’t too far from here…”  I don’t know what made her think of that out of the blue, but I thought it was a great idea!

outfit remix

Don’t you love how you can take a tried-and-true outfit, tweak a few things, then end up with a new look?! Well I did just that for this outfit.

Do you remember when I met Lindsey last summer? Here’s a little reminder:
