I am so excited to have my Birch New Hampshire Stickers at the new Hazel Moon Botanicals retail shop in Meredith, NH! I got a sneak peek at the shop today and it is so cute - I’m looking forward to the grand opening soon and will share on my social media channels when it’s open. Hazel Moon Botanicals will carry a lot of their own popular small-batch aromatherapy products as well as gifts and other items from other small businesses.
Birch New Hampshire Vinyl Stickers are finally here! I’ve had this idea for literally years and the half-finished design file on my computer for forever, so it feels incredible to finally have these in my hands! The Maine version should be in by the end of the week and I’m hoping to get a Massachusetts version done soon as I had a few requests for those!
Fun Fact: The exact birch pattern on the stickers is based off the birch tree we used for our wedding centerpieces 11 years ago which makes this project even more special to me.
Wiglesworth’s Mercantile is a brand new shop coming to Portsmouth’s Market Street next month and I am so excited to share that they’ll be carrying some of our ornaments and other small crafts! The owner Anne has a great vision of making it a place catered to carrying locally-made New England products. (You know how much I love local products, and I can’t wait to visit this wonderfully curated store once it’s open!)
I'm a born and raised New Hampshire-ite. I love this state and everything it has to offer - from the mountains, to the ocean, to the historical cities and villages - I feel like NH is just the perfect mix of everything and I'm honored to wear my NH pride. | This post contains affiliate links and features product provided by The Home T |
Sugar Hill Lupines - by Adrian Pelletier
This weekend I was excited to wear my new New Hampshire Home T t-shirt to our annual pilgrimage to the Lupine Festival in sleepy little Sugar Hill, NH. The whole town is sprawling with the colorful blooms and getting up early to drive around and see the flowers (and of course grab some breakfast at the famous Polly's Pancake Parlor) before heading home was a must. I was excited to sport my new shirt to one of our state's fun annual events.
My Home T t-shirt is probably the softest shirt I have by far. It's super comfortable and perfect for everyday adventures in-state and afar. The Home T offers shirts, other apparel, and home goods for every US state and some international locations, as well as fun novelty shirts for Disney, regions of the US, sports, and more - and they're made in the USA.
My favorite part about The Home T? They donate 10% of profits to Multiple Sclerosis research. I love any company that makes it a priority to give back and the Home T does just that.
I got plenty of compliments on my NH Home T shirt on our Lupine Festival adventure and I know this super-comfy shirt will be on regular rotation for my day-to-day wardrobe from now on.
School is starting back up and that means it's back to the daily grind of packing lunches for most parents. Parenting New Hampshire magazine interviewed myself and few other NH-based bloggers for our "Brown-Bag Makeover" tips and tricks.
You can pick up a copy of this publication at many locations across the state, or read the article HERE online.

It's always fun to explore your own state and see what hidden gems there are. This past weekend was gorgeous and we decided to head out to the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm in Tamworth, NH to get a taste of rural living over the last 200 years.
The
Remick Museum chronicles the life of two rural country doctors, their families, and the way of life as it used to be. It's a working farm with livestock and gardens coexisting alongside historical artifacts and buildings. Our daughter was a HUGE fan of the petting area where there are friendly goats, sheep, and a miniature horse to interact with and feed.
Hello there!
There are many outbuildings and dirt paths to explore - and the views are gorgeous!
My favorite part of the property are all the amazing artifacts and antiques - it's incredible how far medicine and home life in general has evolved over the past 200+ years. The Remick Museum does a great job showcasing the old and new(er) way of life.

No rest for the weary, wether you're a farmer or a doctor - and especially not if you're both!
Overall we had a great day at Remick Museum and will be back for sure! They host lots of fun events throughout the year, including kids day camps, programs on different farming subjects, ice harvesting in the winter, and more.
Just a short walk from the museum is the
Tamworth Lyceum and
The Other Store (yes, that's really what it's called), which are perfect stops for lunch or coffee before heading home. And if you visit in the summer months, you can catch a play at the The Barnstormers Theatre in the evening (check their schedule for details and showtimes).
It's been a crazy week! Central NH got hit hard with Nor'easter Stella last Tuesday and we'd been without internet for almost a week. Overall we got very lucky at our house though - lost power (and most food in the fridge), got some loose siding on the house from the winds, and lost a few trees but all missed the house thankfully. So many people suffered major storm damage to their homes so overall we're very fortunate.
It's good to finally be back online and able to get back to work. If you're a local reader, I hope you fared well in the storm as well and have your power back!
