Lemonade and Lighthouses…

As adults with careers and mounting responsibilities, it can sometimes be difficult to schedule or plan get-togethers with my longtime friends. Gone are the days of impromptu house parties and bar crawls where we’d all end up sleeping on couches in whatever cramped apartment had room for us by the time the sun was rising […]

Summer Sweets: S’mores Croissants

It doesn’t get more Summery and simple than a s’mores recipe. Three ingredients that are perfectly delicious on their own, but mashed together and toasted for a few minutes? I mean, what’s not to love? And while I’ve shared a couple of fun spins on what is a fool-proof recipe in the past, I’m a […]

OOTD: Nautical Polka Dots

The weather in my little corner of Massachusetts has been amazing these past few weeks, with high temperatures and bright, sunny days- and even when the forecast calls for rain or thunderstorms- they are either over in the blink of an eye or end up missing us entirely.

OOTD: Leafy Greens

Derby Day Drinks: Watermelon Sweet Tea

I’ve never had any interest in watching the Kentucky Derby (I’m not a fan of any kind of animal racing,) but year after year I’m invited to stop by “Derby Day” themed parties and get-togethers, be it by friends of co-workers, which usually consist of a lot of snacks, a lot of colorful dresses, and […]

A Month to Remember: August 2023

I have to keep reminding myself that as excited as I am for September, the Fall and all my favorite Autumnal activities, Halloween, etc., etc., that I need to practice being present and living in the moment just a little bit more- and that includes taking the time to bid a fond farewell to August […]
