Madame Sherri in New Hampshire #castle #nh #travel

Every other weekend my boyfriend and I shut down our computers and hop in the vehicle to take a drive, this has become a tradition for us to unplug and simply enjoy each other’s company.  You see, one day we both simply wanted a change in scenery and hopped in the car to take a drive; he loves to drive and I prefer to ride, the perfect match! This past weekend led us to some history though and for that? I am excited to share… This past weekend he asks me, “what direction?” You see, I am usually indecisive with decisions but when he elaborated with a “north, east, south or west?” I chose south. Come to find out we had already traveled the direction of all but south in …

Stay True to Yourself – Be Honest with Everyone

When my first born was a little one, I worked outside of the home and she was watched by an at-home mother, the family nearly took my daughter in as their own, so I don’t recall working outside of home being as challenging as it is now; with three children depending upon me to be Mama. One thing about my character is that I do not commit to anything that I cannot follow through with, you see, I pride myself …

Getting Your Home Ready For Winter

Getting Your Home Ready For Winter

2015 is one of the hottest years on record. That doesn’t mean, however, that the winter is due to be mild. On the contrary. In El Nino years–and yes, this is one of them–winter weather is often just as extreme as its summer counterpart. This means that we are due for extremely cold temperatures and an onslaught of storms and other inclement conditions that could strand us at home for days or even weeks. And, unlike in past decades when we’d have lengthy springs and autumns in which to prepare for the more extreme seasons, climate change has shortened our springs and autumns to weeks instead of months. This means you have to prepare for winter right now. Here are the most important areas of your home that you need …
