This bright light of a soul is 11 today. He is a balm and a tonic, a grounding force and a reason to hope. I have always said that the world has need of more people like Mac—people who assume good intent, meet the day with optimism, meet eac
The words I start with each year: Begin again to the summoning birds to the sight of the light at the window, begin to the roar of morning traffic all along Pembroke Road. Every beginning is a promise born in light and dying in dark determination an
A smattering of magical December moments. It was a busy, bustling, happy season in this busy, bustling era of our family life. I feel so thankful for it all.
The world is full of parallel thinking, and I have seen other posts on social media this year speaking to something that I’ve been turning over in my head since the first holiday commercials started airing in October. So here’s my voice a

I was in my last semester of college when you dragged me to a beach in the rain and put a ring on my shaking hand and asked me for the rest of my life. 19 years ago today, I gave it to you. We were kids. KIDS. I’m sure some of our friends and
Some people wait all year for Christmas morning. Or the first day of summer. Or Super Bowl Sunday for that matter, you get my point. I wait all year for Naumkeag Pumpkin Show Day. We typically go on a Friday evening, but sports commitments made tha
We came to pick apples on this perfect fall Thursday, and the orchard declined. But I had made them wear the cute outfits and everything, so we took potential holiday card photos, bought our fruits and cider and donuts, and came home to Halloween the
We had the best (busiest!) weekend in western NY. We visited our alma mater, cheered T on at a huge cross-country invitational, and then headed to Buffalo to celebrate a wonderful family event. When we reached @urochester campus, Mac asked, “S
Happy golden, crisp, cozy, glowy, warm-hued, temperate-weathered, slowed-down, delightful and delicious autumn to all who truly celebrate the season. We get one a year. Let’s make it count. 🍁 #autumninnewyork
