Five weeks ago, Mike got a job offer. Four weeks ago, Mike accepted the job offer. This summer, we are moving. To western Massachusetts. It’s taken me this long to be able to talk about without feeling a little sad, to be honest. Yes, it’s colder and snowier. Yes, it’s far away from our familyRead the whole post >>
A long time ago, I surveyed you guys about blog content, what you like, don’t – several people requested a post on how to survive winter: “I’ve figured out how to physically survive winter (wool, silk, wool, wool, Primaloft) but this winter in DC really hit me hard emotionally. So! How does one emotionally survive winter whenRead the whole post >>
A few notes about Old San Juan: You can take a free trolley around town if you’re tired of walking. It gets really (annoyingly) crowded when multiple cruise ships dock. It’s like a quiet little city then BAM, ten thousand people disembark and flood the tiny little streets. The weather is pretty consistently 85 degrees or so. It’sRead the whole post >>
