Two weekly check ins! Did Christmas come early? No. I just had a lot of self-important thoughts to share. I take jukebox music very seriously. I so enjoy watching what people chose to play, and rightfully judge them for their picks. The ideal jukebox pick oscillates between a classic (say, “Uptown Girl”), and one of

So my brother and I have officially decided that this summer we are going to tackle the New Hampshire’s Presidential Traverse. The Presidential Traverse is a pretty daunting (humblebrag alert) 23 mile hike in New Hampshire’s White Mountains that summits 8 peaks over 4,000 feet, and gets its name because all eight peaks, Madison, Adams,
Like many of us here in Northeast PA, I was raised Catholic. I spent 40 days and 40 nights every spring giving up cookies, or peanut butter (sidenote: why did I do something so heinous to myself?), or something else I just couldn’t live without. Then I grew up and became the type of Catholic who is

Now, in my own defense, when I created this very Pennsylvania-centric blog, I purported to not only feature my home state, but easy trips to take
I had a great little weekend back in the Lancaster/Chester County area this past weekend, hitting up a few old favorites, and finding some new. Absence does really make the heart grow founder, as there was a time that I really abhorred the ride from NEPA to Lancaster, especially anything involving 81, but I found
So two weekends ago I was coming home from dinner at State Street Grill in Clarks Summit with my brother and our friend Seth, when, at 31 years of age, I hit my first deer. I was pretty proud of myself in the moment. Back in college, I one time swerved to miss a deer
I’m embarrassed to say that I did not discover the macaron until June of last year, and while they’ve been in my life for less than a year at this point, I could safely say that I cannot imagine my life without them.
