One of Vermont's top tourist attractions can be found in Weston. If you happen to be the kind of person who does group tours, you will 150% come to Weston so don't worry about that, ha ha, because it's the home of the Vermont Country Store. You might have shopped at...
So in our quest to get out every weekend, last weekend I decided that we should head down to the southern Berkshires. We're in Williamstown every day of our lives it seems, but it had been years since I had been down to Lenox and Stockbridge. Literally years, when I...
So, I had my first mini winter freak out this morning. I've been meaning to post about winter running, I am a hardcore runner meaning, I run many miles, in all seasons, and I knew when I moved to Vermont that I could not let the weather stop me. So I've been doing a...
So there's not a lot of great restaurants in SW Vermont, our favorite restaurant is probably The Publyk House in Bennington, it's a very old-fashioned, Yankee-style restaurant with gorgeous views (if you get a reservation, ask for a table by the window!). I am not...
I was not too worried about getting SAD (seasonal affective disorder) in the Vermont winters because honestly, I have reverse seasonal affective disorder lol, where I get super depressed during summer. All of my friends know that Easter is my least favorite holiday,...
On our quest to get out of the house in the winter, and not just hide out at home, we drove up to Grafton, Vermont for a special promotion offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield. It was a day to try to encourage people to get out and enjoy winter sports: snow tubing,...
So, I've decided that the only way to experience winter up here in Vermont is to fully embrace it. This is no news to New Englanders, unless you want to be absolutely miserable for 4 months of the year, you've got to get out in it and enjoy all the special winter...
My other Christmas post was sorely lacking in big red barns, and you can't have a Vermont blog without a red barn! All instagrammers know that if you see a big red barn you've got to stop for it, and luckily, there is no shortage of big red barns in Bennington, a lot...
Christmas is a magical time in Vermont! In New England, Christmas is as it should be, snowy streets, Christmas tree farms, hot cocoa and cider by the fire. Sadly, we are not actually in Vermont this Christmas (we'll be arriving Christmas day and my girlfriend is so...
When I first got to Bennington, I used to joke that it was "dangerously close" to New York State. But, as it turns out, New York State is not New York City, and now I'm actually grateful for the proximity of New York (lol hello Crossgates Mall!). I could literally run...
Happy Thanksgiving! I have so much to be grateful for, this has been an amazing year since we moved to Vermont. This has been the most wonderful thing ever to happen to me, and it's basically the point of this entire blog. Now, the only problem, we're actually down...
I was getting ready to head out of the house today and I looked down and noticed a stain on my sweater. Ordinarily this would result in a mad Spray n' Wash frenzy followed by the hair dryer, but since I'm here in Vermont, I just shrugged and hoped I would remember to...
It's an unfortunate coincidence that my husband is not a big chocolate fan, because I absolutely love chocolate (like, duh!) and chocolate is my go-to for desserts. I am also a huge fan of slow cookers, and yes I know about the insta pot, but I actually love a...
You have to get out of Bennington sometimes, and the beauty of "The Benn" is that there's always something to do right up the road. Every Columbus Day weekend, Stratton Mountain hosts the Harvest Fest and Chili Cookoff and it's totally worth the trip up, no skiing...
There are literally hundreds of guides to fall foliage in Vermont, and I won't go down that road though I do have some suggestions for southern Vermont, and I'll try to post dates next year. The nice thing about living in Vermont is that you don't have to like, take...
