I’ve always been a runner, even as a kid. My dad always used to tell me “Run like the wind!” While I’m not as fast as I was a kid or a teenager, that love of running has stuck with me. I’ve done countless 5Ks, 10Ks, relays and half marathons. I had to take time…

This was the hardest blog post for me to write – which is why I’ve been putting it off for months. And before I can even dive into the story about our trip, I need to go into a little bit of a backstory, so please bear with me. Back in 2012, Jarrett and I…

I am not a skier or a snowboarder. I don’t like ice fishing. I don’t have a snowmobile. Basically, I just hate winter in New England. I don’t like being cold, winter sports are expensive and driving in the snow is the worst. To me, I don’t feel like winter really gets bad until mid-January…

In October, two of my best friends (Sam and Tanya) and I took a trip to Southern California. Sam had multiple work events during 2022 and she wanted Tanya and I to go with her on one of the trips since we love traveling together. Tanya had never been to the West Coast and I’m…

I’ve mentioned in some other posts that the Covid pandemic ruined an amazing trip Jarrett and I had planned. If you didn’t read the other posts (c’mon on, go back and read ‘em!), we were planning to go to Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks and then head up to the Lake Tahoe area…

It’s time for another edition of the annual girls trip to Martha’s Vineyard! Our morning ferry ride was a bit messy – it was raining and dreary but it started to clear up right as we entered the harbor. We had a lot of time to kill before the house would be ready for us…

If you’re looking for a casual hike on a pretty trail, check out Mt. Rowe, part of the Belknap Range near Gilford, New Hampshire. It’s roughly four miles but the elevation gain isn’t much, so it would be a great beginner hike

Mt. Chocorua is a beautiful spot in New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest. There are a couple trail options for this hike but this post covers the hike starting at Champney Brook Trail. It’s an out and back route that’s roughly seven miles

This story begins with a podcast and some concrete. My friend Prince and his friend Jaycob had a podcast (SHOUT OUT TO “The Dogfathers”!) for quite a few years. During a 2020 episode, Jaycob mentioned a concrete artist he discovered in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. As always, when someone mentions something they think is…

The Mt. Morgan and Mt. Percival loop is a fun trail near Holderness, New Hampshire. It’s rated hard on AllTrails and is about five miles long. I would consider this more moderate but if you are unfamiliar with rock scrambling, or have a fear of heights or tight spaces, then you may feel differently.
