Just FYI that I am back on my genealogy kick. Don’t know why. Just am. Roll with it, k?I love haunted houses. House histories and ghost stories are the stuff sweet dreams are made of. So, imagine my excitement when I found the house of my great-grandfather 7 TIMES removed is in the National Registry and tours are offered!!! The Van Wickle House is preserved in an area called “The Meadows” in Somerset, NJ . It’s a modest Dutch farmhouse but, O M G! The house is available with many of the belongings to tour???Freaking cool, huh?Even more cool?It’s been reported in several places as being haunted with 5 spirits-him and his wife are the most prevalent of the 5!OK, I am about to pee my pants now, or go book airline tickets. Someone hold me back. Or offer me a place to stay if you’re near there.This tops my 2011 Bucket List….what’s on yours?

    We are so on the same wavelength lately… I literally just posted a bucket list post last night ๐Ÿ˜› I’d have to say riding a zip line is tops on the list….. I think.

      Come to EVO this summer. Free zipline down the mountain! Its a good start ๐Ÿ™‚ People looked like they were having a ton of fun on it. Plus, you have the coaster and slide all in the same place!

A Bit About Me…


I truly love the wonderful chaos of motherhood, but as my kids grew, I started craving a different kind of pace and a sense of calm I couldn't quite find.

Moving to the coast, which is my happy place, really changed how I live the day to day. Now, I just try to bring more calm into our days, even though they're still pretty busy.

It's not about making life perfect. It's just finding some balance and little bits of peace in the middle of the happy hustle, letting the salt air work its magic on the chaos.

Knock, Knock! Anyone home?

I no longer participate in PR campaigns of any type. I consider this blog to be in retirement but here for anyone who would like to read. I started this journey in 1998 with a company I named “Chaotic Communications”. I am so happy to have lost that chaotic feeling. Today I have rebranded that life and work to simply “Indigo Ink“. You can click that link to find my latest projects.
