So Thankful…

Happy Monday and hello, December! I have to admit that going back to work first thing this morning is not particularly ideal, partly because I’m still in a bit of a food coma but mostly because these last few days were so fun and busy that I feel like a long nap is in order […]

Cocoa, Cliff Walk, and Finding Cheer…

I only just recently sat down to begin the process of putting together the outline of my annual end-of-the-year recap that I publish right before or in the early morning hours of New Year’s Eve, since it typically takes a long time to pick what news stories/headlines to feature, cite sources, gather photos and links, […]

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.

I used to go fairly often – for parties, performances, pop-ups, or to visit with friends that were stopping by the area – but with COVID and my […]

Fall’s Fashionably Late Entrance…

As I’m writing this, it’s raining outside and the temperatures have finally dipped below the high 70s. The forecast this week says this is likely to continue into next week – maybe even longer – and I’m SO excited because it feels like the weather is finally starting to align with the changing leaves I […]

Commence Spooky Season!

Happy October 1st, everyone! It is officially spooky season (my favorite time of year!) – and while I have so many things planned for the weeks ahead, including sharing some local and not-so-local haunts, Halloween-inspired recipes, weekends with friends, etc., and so on – I also may have gotten a bit of a head start […]
