    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Today I share a bit more about our trip to the Finger Lakes but, really, today is all about expectations. What is my life with Andy, the most active man on the planet, going to look like when it’s just us?? Are we going to be able to just sit at a lake? I don’t know if I have the answers, but I’m trying.

    Oh Vermont! (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Life got so busy I almost forgot to tell you about Vermont! Vermont is a funny place for me — it’s my home, it’s a place my kids feel is very much their second home, and yet, in many ways, I’m still a fish out of water! If you’re wondering how NOT to handle the aggressive mosquitoes in Vermont, then listen in!

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Today I share an update -- about Ben, me, and life in general. I think my rambling is getting worse, friends. At this point, some episodes are so all over the map that I’m not even sure how to write a summary.

    Is It Time to Go Back to School? (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    I’ve been toying with the idea of going back to school. I have a little PTSD from getting my master’s over twenty years ago, so I’m not exactly sure what “school” would even look like this time around. But I’m considering it. Never too old to try something new, right??
