Another Home Project
There is this content creator that posts videos about his old house and fixing it up, except he does so with self-deprecating humor and many clips of him crying in the car on his way to Home Depot. Albeit filled with profanity, his videos are very relatable, and they do make me laugh. A few weeks ago, I felt like I was a special guest on his YouTube channel as my boyfriend and I finally addressed the bowing boards on my front porch. I had ignored them all summer and tried to pretend that they would just go back to normal. I was wrong, obviously.
I've peeled away enough layers of projects on this house by now to know that if I prepare for a one-day project, it will double at the very least. My front porch was no exception. As we ri...

Take a Scenic Train Ride to See Colorful Fall Foliage, Majestic Mountains, Sparkling Lakes & More
Take a step back in time when you book your ticket to ride one of northern New Hampshire's historic or vintage trains. Each excursion offers a different experience, but each will transport you to an era when train travel was as common as automobile travel is today.
For several weeks during September and October, enjoy the added bonus of traveling through an extraordinary landscape of mountains, lakes, and rivers, and hillsides that dazzle the eye with the amazing reds, oranges, yellows, and golds of autumn's foliage.

Vacationing to Maine
One of the many reasons I love living in New Hampshire so much is because it offers so much without needing to travel very far. We have the mountains and we have the ocean, lots of lakes to swim in, trails to explore, small towns with vibrant art scenes and local businesses, all while still being within driving distance to cities like Boston or even New York. We also get to experience all four seasons—although winter tends to last much longer than any of the others. I rarely take trips outside of New Hampshire, because I've always been able to find everything I need right here at home.
It's no secret that I am a self-proclaimed homebody, but on occasion, I will find a reason to travel. It's a little embarrassing to admit, since it's so close, but I realized recently that I've only been to the coast of Maine maybe once in my entire life, and I was too young to really even remember it. After having arguably the busiest summer of our lives, my boyfriend and I decided to book a trip a few hours up the coast of Maine and take a true, well-deserved vacation.
