And I’m Back!

And just like that, I’m back in Massachusetts and back to work (and blogging!) as usual again after a brief but wonderful stay in North Carolina, with only a few travel hiccups that occurred when I was departing Boston.

An International Vacay!

At the time this post goes live, I’ll be just touching down in Milan to meet up with Troy and officially begin a 12-day vacation in Northern Italy! I’ve been so excited for this trip since we first began the preliminary planning back in February, and it wasn’t until this past weekend when I was […]

A Month to Remember: March 2025

Oh March – what an exciting and adventurous month you’ve been – and how perfectly paced you’ve felt! As the last remnants of Winter slowly melts away and makes room for Spring blossoms and blooms, I’ve had so much fun these past few weeks – filled with travel, great food, and lots of time with […]
