As we wind down these last few days of March and I prepare for a very busy few weeks ahead (including many of my loved ones’ birthdays back-to-back, Easter, a mid-month visit from Troy, and some last minute international travel to-dos I have to take care of before the beginning of May!) I wanted to […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! It seemed fitting to kick off today’s holiday and what is shaping up to be another week of warmer, sunnier, and dare I say “Springier” weather here in New England with a look at one of the newer (and green!) additions to my wardrobe that I’m excited to wear more […]

I am in full-blown “Last Minute Gift Shopping Mode” right now – picking up and wrapping those final items that give the gifts I’ve already painstakingly selected earlier this year that little something extra when I finally hand them to their respective recipients.
