When buying a home, there are certain things you scrutinize closely — with the age and condition of the roof being one of the top ones on the list. And rightfully so. Depending on the size of your home, replacing it will cost somewhere in the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars and can impact your ability to occupy the home depending on the extent of repairs required. I know for us, this was a big concern we focused on during our homesearch since it was such a big ticket issue.
[Read more…]goat yoga with healing with crystal flow and air
I’ve always been curious to try goat yoga. I love yoga. I love goats. Why wouldn’t I love yoga and goats? I’ve never come across goat yoga anywhere close enough to be possible — until last month!
When I saw it pop up as one of the workshops on the Air New Providence website, I was thrilled! The workshop was in partnership wit Samantha of Healing with Crystal Flow. Sam is also an Air instructor!
What to bring & wear
I was worried about what to wear since it was a pretty warm day. I was happy I went with a sleeveless shirt that was good for yoga but wasn’t cropped. If you want to have the goats on your back, I found it more comfortable to have on something that fully covered my back and that wasn’t too delicate that I’d be worried about it getting snagged.
[Read more…]bobolink and hunterdon land trust’s farmers’ market
I’ve been wanting to pay Bobolink Farm and Dairy a visit ever since we tried their cheddar as part of a cheese tasting with Vaughan Cheese at work. They weren’t doing tours for bit in the spring because there was so much rain but they’re back to doing them periodically and I finally found a weekend they offered one which worked for us, too.
labor day sales: 2022 edition
September is getting dangerously close (IMHO) to the holidays. If you are like me, the fall goes by in a blur — likely aided by the weekends that become filled with activities and college football games (Roll Tide!). These Labor Day sales are a perfect way to jump start knocking off some people from your holiday present list! I’ll continue to update this as I learn of more.
[Read more…]5 reasons i send handwritten cards
I’m a writer. I love the feeling of pen to paper. Of putting my thoughts down, and looking back at them later. The same applies in communicating with my friends. I’m always chasing for address updates, trying to ensure I can send a note when the mood strikes or when certain moments throughout the year arise. I’ve made handwritten cards a part of my Mother’s Day routine — it has become an important part of processing my grief and lifting up others on the day to celebrate them.
Are you someone who doesn’t do this often? Letter writing seems to be dying out, but I am all about it as it has been so valuable for me over the years. Here are five reasons why I’ve made sending handwritten cards and notes such a priority.
august faves
I’m definitely not ready to turn the page on summer. I know it technically runs through something like September 22, but it seems like everyone is full steam ahead into fall. Iced pumpkin cold brew in one hand, and a beach towel in the other? Now that I can get behind. Here’s a bit of what’s been going on throughout the month in my world.
Favorite splurge: Summersalt
sea girt and spring lake beach day
I’m not sure why it has taken me all these summer Fridays to finally plan this, but the weekend before last I took off the full day to make a trip to Sea Girt and Spring Lake. We have typically taken family trips to Long Branch, but I wanted to see if we should bring the kids here instead.
The Scone Pony
I made a pitstop on the way down to Sea Girt at the Scone Pony. I’ll admit it was mainly because I liked the name but also because I don’t think I’ve seen another spot focus on scones! I figured it was a nice easy option for something to pickup and take with me to the beach. (I should note I learned no food is allowed on the beach at Sea Girt so I ate it at the tables in front of the Pavilion before I entered the beach.)
saturday pitstop at bellemara distillery and flounder brewing company
I’ve been curious about Bellemara Distillery and Flounder Brewing Company for a long time but we haven’t been that way with some time to visit while they were open — until this weekend on our way back from Snyder’s Farm Food Truck and Music Festival.
Bellemara Distillery
Bellemara Distillery currently sells gin (a standard single malt variety in the London dry style with notes of Juniper and orange and a tropical one, including notes of Juniper and tropical fruit). They also sell a single malt grain spirit, which they described as similar to a vodka.
[Read more…]agape cafe breakfast
We originally planned to try different breakfast spots during our recent vacation to Lancaster, Pennsylvania but we quickly changed our plans after visiting Agape Cafe in Ronks our first morning of the trip. After that meal, we didn’t see a reason to go anywhere else!
Outside Dining
We wanted to dine outside, and the restaurant has a perfect setup for that. Note there are only around eight tables outside, so we would arrive very early to make sure there would be one available.
[Read more…]snyders farm food truck and music festival
Yesterday, we headed back to Snyder Farm for the Snyders Farm Food Truck and Music Festival. Unlike when we went back in June for their u-pick blueberries, it definitely was not cool. If anything, we found ourselves frantically searching for some shade!
The live music at the event was much better than I expected. Throughout the day, we heard so many favorites ranging from classic rock to classic country to modern country.
