Jennifer MorriseyThis is a difficult post to write, probably because I am still right smack dap in the middle of whatever this funk is. But it needs to be said, and you deserve to know what is going on. To put it bluntly and get straight to the point: I’ve...
A couple weeks ago I shared a list of my favorite local restaurants for date night in the Western Finger Lakes, as a collaborative project organized by Social Fabric. Other bloggers have created similar lists, in which...
Happy Thursday Friends, This week I thought we would try something new! Each Thursday I’m gonna check in with you about some of the stuff going on in my life…musings, things I’m digging, and what we are up to. It’s my hope that we will get to know...
I recently attended a narrative stage discussion on ethnic foods in the Finger Lakes, organized by the New York State Folklore Society. The event, You are What You Eat held at the Auburn Theater, was really enjoyable, and found the whole experience...
I was recently looking back through my archives and came to the realization I had only posted 20 times in 2016, and there was a period of time where I didn’t post a single thing for 3 months straight. In the past I have posted a year in review...
It seems like 2016 is flying by already! My Feedly account is full of other bloggers sharing their resolutions, words of the year, and goals. As nice as it would be nice to streamline my wardrobe and maybe drink less coffee and more water. My...
As we are getting ready to turn the page on 2015, I wanted to take a moment and wish you and yours a safe and happy New Year! 2015 was definitely a year for the books. There were milestones met & lessons learned, and next week I am sharing...
Christmas afternoon my husband and I were able to sneak out for a walk. It was kind of grey, and not really as warm as it has been, but a change of scenery was very much needed. We have both agreed between the eating, crazy schedules, and general...
How did it get to be Christmas week already? I still have so much to do! It has been a such a fun year! I can’t believe in January I will be celebrating 3 years of blogging here at Home in the Finger Lakes. I am so, so...
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous! It has been very mild here. But I really haven’t taken the time to enjoy this unusually mild start to winter, and I should. Winters are long in Upstate New York, and I should be out taking in the fresh...
I know every year we say it when the first snow comes, but this snow really is earlier than usual. The average date of the first snowfall in Rochester is November 8th, I woke up to a winter wonderland October 18th, and was less than thrilled, but...
So this weekend the family and I actually got off the farm. That’s right, we got the corn picked and delivered and skedaddled out of town before the phone had a chance to ring, or anyone could stop by looking for more. And guess what? It...
It’s been pretty busy here lately, we are in the middle of calving and planting on the farm and there are a ton of end of school year activities going on for the kids that are keeping me busy. Because it’s been a while since I’ve...
I look forward to seeing this every year. I know I wrote about it two years ago, but it never gets old, and two years is an eternity in the world of blogging. Every year snow geese pass through our area, and they usually stop over in one of our...
What I was digging on the internets this week Why being ‘nice’ isn’t always good Breakfast Quesadillas, going to try this! Sometimes ‘plastic livestock’ help you fight the good fight, in a rather entertaining manning 🙂...
The kids were off this week, and we were pretty much snowed in. When it was not snowing it was really just too cold to go anywhere so we hunkered down at home and read, played some games and tried not to get cabin fever. What I was digging on the...
Because it is snowing like crazy here and I am procrastinating getting the groceries I thought I would share what I have been up to this week. It was a busy week, and the stomach bug paid a visit to our house, that was not pleasant. We are all...
As 2014 comes to a close I thought it would be fun to share a quick list of things I learned, or in some cases relearned in 2014! 14. If you lose your boot in the mud, and have to walk home through the cow pasture barefoot and end up with a...
It’s the most wonderful time of the year to buy local! I have spent many-a-holiday-seasons working at one store or another at the mall, and here is what I know for a fact: Local stores do the holidays better Better attitudes, better service...
Guess what today is, it is my birthday! Last year I shared a fun list of 30 something things you probably didn’t know about me, this year I am doing something a little different. Lately I have had a lot on my plate, and am all about...
