As I continue my holiday shopping and sort out my schedule when it comes to upcoming parties and get-togethers with friends and family (my planner is so full of stuff!) 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.

Well hello, December! As we enter the final stretch of 2023 and gear up for Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations, I wanted to do a quick rewind and talk about the most magical Thanksgiving weekend ever.

Earlier this week, I wrote about stopping by the “Snowport” Holiday Pop-Up in Boston’s Seaport District over the weekend, but that wasn’t the only seasonal destination on my to-do and must-visit list while I was in the area. To wrap up a truly fun and festive day- my friends and I made sure to grab […]
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve spent a Saturday morning or afternoon out and about in Boston’s Seaport District. It’s not because I’m not a fan of the area or it’s wide array of bars and restaurants- but because my visits to the city almost always take me to the complete opposite sides of […]
