Lucky To Live Here
People often ask me if I loved growing up in northern New Hampshire. Of the many times I've been asked this question, I have to assume my answers have varied at times, especially depending on my age when asked. Most recently, when someone asked me this, I paused for a moment before answering. I gave it some thought, and then, I told them the truth: No, I didn't always love growing up here.
Sometimes I liked it, sometimes I maybe even loved it, but there were certainly times I didn't, too. I think it's safe to assume every young person feels that way from time to time, no matter where they live, which is why I often feel conflicted as to how to answer that question.

Adding Houseplants to Your Home Can Help Banish Cabin Fever
During my teenage years, the one and only houseplant my family had was a snake plant, commonly known as a mother-in-law plant or mother-in-law's tongue. It sat in a small pot in the living room and followed my mother from that house through a couple of moves and finally to the apartment she lived in before passing away.
