Laura Napolitano
Founder/Editor
My love for reading started at a very young age, and my writing “career” began in 3rd grade with poems and short stories.
My love of writing, primarily poetry, drove me to earn my B.A. in Communications from Temple University. I am a transplant to Vermont from Bucks County, PA, a beautiful suburb of Philadelphia. The Green Mountains have always been like a second home to me, as I spent summer vacations and Thanksgiving break visiting family in the state. My day job keeps me busy in the alumni relations and development office at Middlebury College.
Outside of work and blogging, I’m spending lots of quality time with my partner and the 3 dogs you’ll meet below. I also enjoy traveling when we’re not in the midst of a pandemic. Then there is hiking, playing softball, snowshoeing, cooking, scrap-booking, journaling, passionate discussions with my book club Vermont Books ’n‘ Brews, and curling up with a good book while sipping coffee, tea, wine, or local Vermont craft beer.
Meet Sam, Tank, and Cole.
These guys entered my life in early 2020 when I started dating my boyfriend. You may or may not be seeing pictures of him. I still love you honey, even if the dogs get their own section of the blog. wink wink
Tank is a 10 year old English Bulldog and definitely the leader of the pack. Sam (top right) and Cole (front) are litter-mates at 10 years old and are a redbound hound black lab mix.
Three 90-lb dogs certainly makes life interesting! They all have very different personalities and are always making me laugh.
You’ll likely see more of Tank here on this blog and Instagram, but I’ll do my best to share more of Sam and Cole too! If anyone has dogs, especially more than one, then you’ll know how challenging it is to get a decent photo with any one of them let alone together!
