I’m what Tim Sample would call a ‘native Mainer’. That means I was born and raised here. Unless you’re born in Maine, you’re considered ‘from away’ no matter how long you’ve lived here. It makes for a humorous skit for Tim, but there is a ring of truth to it. Mainers are slow to accept… Continue Reading

Happy Easter
First I have to say thank you to everyone offering support. It might seem like a small thing, but your kind words of caring are inspirational for me. In fact, this week the darkness lifted enough for my family and I to enjoy Easter together. We’re a bit untraditional I’m afraid. No church services or… Continue Reading
The Dark Path
I recognized the blackness of the path as I approached it for the second time in my lifetime. It was a road I truly never wanted to revisit. But sometimes life doesn’t let you choose. That has been the case with my life over the past month, and especially over the past week and a… Continue Reading
Pink Linings
The saying goes that inside every dark cloud is a silver lining. As a consummate girly girl, I prefer to see my clouds as having a pretty pink linings. Just like the ones I snapped the picture of yesterday after the storm. Pretty isn’t it. It’s hard to believe that just a few hours earlier… Continue Reading

All About Me Weekend
Sometimes a princess just has to take time out for herself. After weeks and endless hours of work to get my business up and running, the holidays, Super Bowl parties and other assorted tasks, this princess needed some ‘me’ time. A new haircut, a few new clothes and an day of doing a little bit… Continue Reading
Blue Monday
Ah yes, the princess is blue. Her heart was broken by Giants. The football part anyway. I’m not going to complain about anything, because the team that played the best football last night won. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a huge disappointment. There’s always next year right?And there is actually more to my current… Continue Reading
The Zombie Princess
I suppose when one has had a particularly challenging week, one should expect it to end the same way right? So why am I surprised that I’m sitting in bed, writing this blog post trying to keep myself awake for just a few more hours in order to be a well rested hostess for our… Continue Reading
Does eBay sell Time Machines?
I’m in the market for a time machine. Not one that you travel back in time with like H.G. Wells. No I need one that stretches time. Or stops it completely without stopping me. You see, I had a relatively reasonable list of things to do over weekend, but for some reason did not accomplish… Continue Reading
