This past weekend seemed to be prime time for holiday parties, one of my favorite parts of this season. Celebrations with friends, food, wine and laughter top my list of holiday season favorites and this year is no exception. Even the snow that made its way to Boston Saturday night couldn’t put a damper on… Continue reading Holiday Parties & a Festive Recipe
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been in a bit of a blogging slump lately. The words don’t seem to flow as easily when I write and I struggle to sit down and choose drafting up a blog post over simply just enjoying what’s going on around me. I’m hoping it’s just temporary, but for… Continue reading Life Lately
I have a confession to make, and it might come as a surprise to some of you. I love Brussels sprouts. No, but really, I love Brussels sprouts.

The bf and I enjoyed date night in on Friday with takeout and a movie before sleeping in a bit on Saturday morning. I wish I could tell… Continue reading Apple Picking & a Simple Apple Dip

Good morning! I decided to switch things up a bit this week and share a few links that I’ve come across lately that I’ve loved. 1. Something to Read I stumbled across this article yesterday and loved the perspective that it offered: I Didn’t Love My Wife When We Got Married 2. Something to Love… Continue reading Thursday Thoughts: Links I Love
Happy Tuesday, friends! It’s time for a second link-up with Becky’s brilliant Treat Yourself Tuesday par-tay. Last week held a handful of treats for me, so no complaints here! I picked up a new Essie color from their fall line called Cashmere Bathrobe. It’s a metallic charcoal gray that I’ve been drooling over since they… Continue reading Treat Yourself Tuesday: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Every September when Labor Day passes, I breathe a little sigh of relief. While I love summer and the adventures that it brings, there is something so calming to me about its unofficial close and the beginning of my favorite season.
