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 […]
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 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.

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 […]
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 […]
