Local Loves: The Beach Plum

One of my favorite things about living in New England during the Summertime is that there is no shortage of great seafood and lobster shacks in any given direction, but there’s a few in particular that are especially near and dear to my heart-not just because they’re a long-standing tradition- but because their location is […]

Pre-Vacay Nachos and Flowers…

Although I’m only heading to Southern California for a few days, I’ve been packing/unpacking/re-packing for the past 24 hours while I try to stuff the perfect beachwear, casual wear, night out accessories, etc. into one tiny suitcase.

Well hello there, May! How good of you to finally arrive- although it looks like you brought a significant amount of rainfall with you.

Local Loves: Smithsonian Chowderhouse

With temperatures anticipated to dip down to about -30 this weekend (please help me,) there’s no better time to enjoy a piping hot bowl of soup and/or a toasted popover with melted butter to warm my hands, bones, etc. And while I’m quite fond of making stews or bisques on my own- sometimes it’s nice […]

Winter Weekend Warrior

My calendar/planner for the month of January has always been consistently packed year after year with parties, post-holiday dinners and gift exchanges, birthdays, etc., etc.- and 2023 is no exception! I’ve been going non-stop on the weekends in-between working my full-time and part-time jobs, going to the gym, and shoveling my way out of a […]
