Lets talk about a hot topic in 2018: Voting. Here in the United States, we're gearing up for our Midterm Elections. In November, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 35 out of 100 seats in the Senate, and 39 governorships are up for grabs. Each state will have other referendums and positions that … Continue reading Primaries, Midterms, and Voting
Note: This post was inspired by this article from the Hartford Courant. Being from Connecticut, there is an overwhelming sense of self-hatred from the state's citizens.

We did a few trips when my brother and I were little kids but my family is all about renting a condo for a week and having access to a bathroom that doesn't involve using the woods. With that … Continue reading Turning Your Tent Into a Home

Well, with having Mondays open for me now as my job as switched to summer hours, I decided to do a craft project. After … Continue reading Get Crafty: Tie Dye
Last night, I went to my town's annual summer fair. For a week in July every year, the town sets up carnival rides and games, food trucks, a craft beer garden, and live music so that the townies can celebrate summer.
