The 90s was in many ways, one of the most formative decades of my life. I went from age 6-15 during the 90s. No internet, no social media, no cell phones, the Spice Girls. What a time to be alive! I have a lot of nostalgia for that time. Yes I was a kid, but things felt simpler. In all honesty, when we decided to move to Vermont, there was a big part of me that saw it as a place where I could re-create some of that carefree childhood for Marin.

I am currently in Boston and (yay me) scheduled this newsletter ahead of time because I am celebrating my 40th birthday (with Craig who is also about to turn 40).
