  • Stay Away from the Light (Unless Navigating Theater Steps)

    Posted on April 12, 2018February 14, 2019

    In college, I was a member of my school’s theater group. Membership required an audition, and once in, you were committed to assisting in various capacities (acting, set design, lights, costumes, ticket sales, etc.) with the many theater productions held throughout your tenure. Without question, it was one of the experiences that most shaped my […]

  • To New England and Beyond: Part Three

    Posted on August 16, 2017January 11, 2018

    Click here for Part One and Part Two of To New England and Beyond. Initially, probably mistaking me for a local, she informed me of a pressing local issue. At first, I thought little of it. After all, I’ve lived in the South for well over a decade; long conversations with strangers are basically a […]

  • To New England and Beyond: Part Two

    Posted on August 3, 2017January 11, 2018

    After heading back to Massachusetts, we spent the first night in a nice but nondescript hotel in the suburbs of Boston. LCB had scheduled business in the area for the next few days, but we were hoping to squeeze in a few touristy things as well. This led us, the next day, to Rockport, a […]

  • To New England and Beyond: Part One

    Posted on July 19, 2017January 11, 2018

    Last month, we took a multi-purpose trip involving business, education, pleasure, and nuptials. I have mixed feelings about multi-purpose travel: on one hand, you take care of business in one fell swoop. On the other hand, it turns out to be quite the swoop. We wanted to get the bulk of the driving over with […]

  • Coastal Christmas Ornaments for 2016

    Posted on December 9, 2016March 23, 2017

    I love this time of year for many reasons, not the least of which is that it’s time for the (6th) annual coastal Christmas ornaments post. This year, I’ve only purchased…one coastal Christmas ornament. Basically, I’ve decided to lay off the whole “I’m just buying these for the blog” excuse while I inhale ornaments at […]

  • Starting the Christmas Season in Chicago: Tossing Our Cookies, Cab Style

    Posted on December 3, 2016

    For the first part of this story, see Starting the Christmas Season in Chicago. As we headed out from our hotel, it was overcast and a light rain had descended on Chicago. Traffic was heavy; half the city, it seemed, was headed out with us. LCB sat in the front and struck up a bit […]

    ABOUT ME

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Hey! I’m Christine. Well over a decade ago, my family traded in our lives in Chicago for life on a small island in the Carolinas, and thus began our journey. When I’m not writing, I listen to my loquacious husband talk and I experiment with both helicopter and free-range parenting my three children. (It’s exactly what it sounds like.) I write about all things coastal, but also about subjects like parenting, education, and worldview. Welcome to An Island Mom! I’m thrilled that you are here!
