Local Loves: Julien’s Farm Store

Greetings from the middle of yet another blizzard here in the Northeast! Although this current Nor’easter started a few hours later than originally expected last night, it has quickly gained both speed and momentum. As I’m writing this, I can barely see outside of my windows and the roadways have all but disappeared from view. […]

Super Bowls and Self-Love…

I had wanted to publish a little blurb this past Monday morning before I sleepily made my way back to work for the week, but between watching The Patriots absolutely choke during the biggest game of the year, dancing to Bad Bunny’s spectacularly fun and beautiful Halftime Show and eating all of the snacks that […]

Escape to the Cape…

It’s been more than a minute since I’ve visited Cape Cod, specifically Hyannis, with my last trip there taking place well before the pandemic started as part of an early Summer getaway weekend with my group of girlfriends.

Local Loves: Green Haus Café

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. Thankfully, Green Haus Café – located […]
