Boston Public Gardens

Today we parked on Beacon Hill, crossed Charles Avenue, and waddled right on into the Public Garden, where Ada and Annabelle met Mrs Mallard and her eight well brought up ducklings: Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Oack, Pack, and Quack! The Public Gardens were enormously lovely and we had the nicest...

Berry Picking in New York

Between Buffalo and Schenectady, the lovely couple who own Abbot Farms let us spend the night on their beautiful farm, complete with farm animals, apple and cherry orchards, and U-Pick raspberries and blueberries! After a french toast breakfast made with today’s eggs, provided by the chickens we fed last night, we...

Peaceful Interlude

After a whirlwind of travel and transition, our first peaceful day hit us a couple of weeks ago in Ohio and reminded us to slow down once and a while: We woke up in the parking lot of an AAMCO in a tiny town, got our transmission looked over, then drove...

Robby is smiles and sunshine that claim to have moods, he talks with his hands, and his hands speak in mixed media.

West Virginia – Fayetteville

We took Robby with us to Fayetteville to see my friend Darlene and check out her store, Swirl. “It’s like you’re a grown up,” I told Darlene. “You won’t say that when you see it,” she answered. Swirl is a vivid, tiny, swirly, colorful, place like a room in Willy Wonka’s...

One Week Deep

Last time I posted we were one week out, and now we’re one week in. No blogs because that last week was SO CRAZY BUSY and this past week, well, we haven’t quite worked out traveling fulltime, parenting fulltime, being a fulltime touring musician and baby wrap retailer AND getting onto...

North Carolina

Our family in the hills, on a farm, chickens and sometimes cattle or a little donkey. Two girls (seven years), one up and coming gentleman in a dollar bow-tie and two long-haired parents with a sense of humor. Shouts and grins and home cooking and a flowering garden in a Blue...

Athens, Georgia

Outdoor Farmers Market, long skirts and necklaces made of holy seeds, playing in the sun, then a drizzle, paid in tips and the farmers’ bounty: Back room in a hip bar, orange curtains and stuffed animals that used to be alive. Cool college cats in overstuffed furniture that was loosing its...

Apollo Beach and Lithia Springs Park

Yes, it’s taken us a month to get away for our first weekend in Benny! This was our first time really using Benny as a home. We’ve turned on the lights now and then, and the toilet’s been used several times in my weekday activities with two kids. But we really...
