Although Christmas was a few weeks ago and I’m officially back to working my usual full-time schedule (and doing my radio show as normal!)– I feel like the couple of weeks following New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day are some of the busiest and most-traveled days I experience- especially in these ongoing times of COVID-19. With […]
Hello everyone- and hello 2022! Happy New Year and Happy (belated) 2nd Birthday to ‘Coffee & Chiffon’- which was first launched on New Year’s Day back in 2020. Simpler times.

That wasn’t the only place I visited during my mini-road trip/day adventure, however. In fact, a good portion of […]
I want to preface this post by saying I love Salem, Massachusetts. I love it! It’s truly one of my favorite places in New England.
