In writing for SWP I have realized I am missing out on A LOT of amazing things to do in NH. We just can’t have that now can we?! How about a resolution to change?! In general, I have found that most New Year’s resolutions are born out of a desire for a “better” life. […]
I never saw the Old Man in the Mountain. Or at least, not in person. Having grown up in southern New Hampshire, just a short two hour ride to the White Mountains, people have always been surprised to hear that I never saw the infamous profile of the Old Man before his collapse in 2003. […]
Now that the colder weather has set in and my wood stove is on full blast, I thought that I would write about the ice, the chill and the snow…winter in the Lakes Region. I’ll be honest, I am more a fan of the other three seasons, but as always the Lakes Region has done […]
Winter is here. Our shopping and gift-wrapping/opening is over, and finally the snow is here. That means that most likely, many of you will have your first day of skiing or snowboarding this week or in the near future. Only of course if you haven’t already braved the icy and variable slopes of the northeast, on almost 20” […]
Okay, so who participated in a Yankee Swap this Christmas? Don’t know what it is? Get out from under that rock. Google the rules, or ask your friend. If your friend doesn’t know, then you need a new friend. My advice when going into a Yankee Swap is to go in with no expectations. There […]

I’m curious to know how parents in NH today feel about gender-specific toys. This year, my four year old son has asked for (and will receive) the following: Barbies Mermaid dolls Batman figure Games When I was a kid, my parents were not running out and buying Barbies and mermaids for my brothers as I […]
“Calling all college students and their families! Regaalo Gifts has teamed up with local NH non-profit, the New Hampshire Innovation Commercialization Center, to bring one lucky winner a prize that could make a difference in paying for college education.” When/how did Regaalo start? Regaalo started at the University of New Hampshire but we worked out […]
We can’t talk about New Hampshire, without talking about winter. And that means snow. I will be the first to tell you, that last winter was kind of a nice break. I wasn’t in the mood to constantly dig out from beneath a foot of snow, but this year it’s a different story. I just […]
Do you find that most of your holiday shopping is done online or in stores? Do you receive the same level of satisfaction buying online vs. in a physical store? As much as I dread holiday shopping, I do enjoy the experience. I am not one to buy much online, and if I do, I […]
