It only took the first couple of weeks of January, but my belated Christmas get-togethers and gift exchanges that were postponed from last year have finally been completed as of this past weekend! And with it, I’ve officially taken down the last of my remaining Christmas decorations and packed them away until the next holiday […]
Between the recent periods of torrential rain/flooding, snow squalls, and then sporadic bursts of sunshine and high temperatures (AKA January in New England, everyone!) it’s nice to just escape the outdoors- even for an hour or two- and cozy up somewhere warm and filled with both greenery and caffeine.

I’m also doing my best to appease my inner micro-management hostess and put together some great snacks/appetizers and desserts so that I’m not showing up […]
It seems almost unjust to have to return to work so soon after wrapping up such a fun and busy weekend but alas, here I am, preparing to start another Monday morning (albeit from the comforts of my cozy living room/office set-up!) of phone calls, e-mails and meetings. Is it possible to rewind the clock […]
