Hiking The Flume Gorge in New Hampshire

The Flume Gorge is an 800 foot natural gorge located in Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire. I had not heard of this spot before doing research while planning our route for our New England Road Trip in the summer of 2021. After seeing pictures of it, I couldn’t wait to visit.

Exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor

During the summer of 2021, Teddy and I spent a week traveling through New England. One of the top stops on our trip was to Acadia National Park. Neither of us had been here before, so this was a new National Park for both of us. It’s my 36th and Teddy’s 12th.

Contentment, Wintering & A Puppy

To be quite honest, I really don’t love winter and January is a hard month for me. I love to be outside but do not love being cold. I love the sun and warmth. Finding ways to savor the winter season rather than wish it away is something I’ve tried to be very intentional about this year.

What I’m Reading this Winter

During this Pennsylvania winter, I will be reading about slowness, margin, and seasonal living. I’ve chosen 5 books to focus on during this time that you’ll find below.

My Goals for 2022

I didn’t want to do really anything drastically differently than I do now, I just wanted to do it more consistently and intentionally. So I broke down my word of the year into 4 directional goals for what I’d like to be.

My 2022 Word of the Year

I had a few words throughout those few weeks that seemed to fit, but the one I ultimately chose for the year was one I initially discarded early in the process.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Our little gremlin is already 5 months old. Swipe right for when he was a chonky little guy. 🐶💕 Day 10.5 - Our final travels and return home. DAY 10 - Riverside walks, a valley of fire, and big horned sheep. DAY 9 - Hoodoos, emerald pools, and tired legs. DAY 8 - Goblins, grand staircases, and another early morning sunrise. DAY 7 - An early day with lots of hiking and arches and some pistachio pizza. DAY 6 - Slot canyons, red rocks, and lots of photography. DAY 5 - I’d summarize today as short drives, grand views, wind-burnt faces, and average bbq. DAY 4
