By now many have seen, heard of, or experienced firsthand the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise awareness for ALS. If you haven’t, head on over to Google and type in “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge” to learn more about why thousands are dumping buckets of ice water over their heads and challenging others to do the… Continue reading Why I Love the Ice Bucket Challenge
A bit delayed, but passing along wishes for all of the best things in 2014! I haven’t nailed down any resolutions for this year quite yet, and truthfully I don’t know if I will. I love the idea of setting goals, but I also know how easy it is to fall off track or let… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Oh hello, New Year’s Eve. When did you sneak up on me? I don’t know how it’s possible that this year flew by like it did. As it seems every year, I find myself looking back and it all feels so fresh in my mind… and yet like forever ago, all at the same time.… Continue reading Looking Back: 2013
This past weekend seemed to be prime time for holiday parties, one of my favorite parts of this season. Celebrations with friends, food, wine and laughter top my list of holiday season favorites and this year is no exception. Even the snow that made its way to Boston Saturday night couldn’t put a damper on… Continue reading Holiday Parties & a Festive Recipe

I remember feeling excited, anxious, and completely terrified when I received the confirmation email in my… Continue reading One Year Ago
Each year in the fall my high school, Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH), hosts their annual Pie Race – a 4.3 mile race through the picturesque New England boarding school campus and cross country trails. Named among one of the oldest road races in America, this year was the 123rd running of the Bemis-Forslund Pie Race.… Continue reading Will Run For Pie
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been in a bit of a blogging slump lately. The words don’t seem to flow as easily when I write and I struggle to sit down and choose drafting up a blog post over simply just enjoying what’s going on around me. I’m hoping it’s just temporary, but for… Continue reading Life Lately
[Too early] on Friday morning my favorite running buddy and I checked 7 miles off our newly created half marathon training plan, knowing that neither of us would have the time to fit in a long run over the weekend. Running along the Charles while it’s still dark outside was a new experience, and slightly… Continue reading Pumpkinfest & a Surprise Birthday Party
