Boston Called…

After the absolute whirlwind that was the extended Memorial Day Weekend just a few short days ago, it felt nice to have a more quiet and low-key couple of afternoons off where I could tidy up my apartment, restock some groceries, catch up on e-mails that had been sitting patiently in my inbox, and- most […]

What’s In My Festival Bag?

Boston Calling kicks off next weekend, and while I’ll only be attending one of the three days of the festival this year as opposed to committing to the whole weekend like I normally do (Troy is visiting, so we’ve made some other plans while he’s in town!)

This Is Halloween, This Is Halloween…

It was only a matter of time, but we’ve come up on the last couple of days of my extended West Coast journey. In a little over 24 hours I’ll be boarding a plane back to New England to ride out the remainder of my vacation before it’s time to return to work, colder weather, […]

A Month to Remember: September 2023

I love you, September- I really, truly and sincerely do! You are the gateway from my beloved hot and hazy days of Summer to my absolute favorite crisp and brisk Autumn nights. You are the month when all things pumpkin, apple, cozy and comforting make their triumphant comeback and I’m always sad when it’s time […]
