A Tale of Food Trucks and Frozen Drinks…

Well hello there, May! How good of you to finally arrive- although it looks like you brought a significant amount of rainfall with you. While torrential downpours are nothing new this time of year in New England (it’s still better than snow!) the recent weather made for a more quiet and cozy weekend indoors these […]

A Month to Remember: March 2023

Happy *almost* April, everyone! As excited as I am for the coming weeks ahead since I’ve got days full of travel, parties and (hopefully) some sunshine ahead of me- I have to take some time to acknowledge, pay respects to and give so much love to March 2023. While January and February felt like they […]

March Madness…

Although I’ve got my usual “end of the month wrap-up” posts lined up a little later on this week, including sharing some of my favorite things/products and highlights from these past few weeks- it’s worth mentioning (again) that I can’t believe the month is nearly over!

I much prefer watching the snow fall from out my window and from the comforts of my couch while I’m wrapped in […]

Local Loves: The Botanic Garden of Smith College

I have a complicated relationship/history with Smith College. While I’ve met some incredible alumni and faculty from there over the years, I’ve also encountered (firsthand) and am keenly aware of an underlying and toxic environment among some of the students and staff that seems to actively discourage young and impressionable female students from taking any […]

A Month to Remember: February 2023

February might be the shortest month out of the year- but it is certainly one of the mightiest and most memorable- especially here in the Northeast where we typically get unpredictable weather, fluctuating high/low temperatures and the occasional glimpses into the Springtime in-between Valentine’s Day and the end of the regular football season. There’s a […]
