“I Saw Flowers in Your Hair…”

It’s been quite an interesting few days weather/climate-wise here in New England this week.

Lavender Lemonade…

I had received a notification in May that an absolutely beautiful and picturesque farm in Connecticut (that I’d seen all over social media last Spring!) was opening it’s doors for the season once again.

Local Loves: Ice Cream Alley

It’s been quite a while since I had a “Local Loves” spotlight on something in my own neighborhood- especially something that is within a short walking distance from my apartment- but given how beautiful (and hot!) the weather has been lately, it seemed like the perfect time to talk about one of my most beloved […]
