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. I have so many adventures planned over the weekend ahead- and I want to look my best for […]
Well hello there, May! How good of you to finally arrive- although it looks like you brought a significant amount of rainfall with you. While torrential downpours are nothing new this time of year in New England (it’s still better than snow!) the recent weather made for a more quiet and cozy weekend indoors these […]
As we enter the final few days of April 2023 and I return to my office bright and early this morning (after predominantly working from the comforts of a cozy house in Maryland for most of last week,) I’ve been preparing my usual end-of-the-month themed posts that’ll be up and running later on this week […]

I can’t think of a better way to haves started the month of April than this past weekend’s series of parties, laid-back get-togethers and time spent outdoors in the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Despite the occasional rain storm- a common occurrence this time of year in New England- I think it’s *maybe* okay to say […]
Having to return to work on the first day of Spring and after a particularly superb long weekend just feels unfair- but I’m back at the office today and catching up on all the things I’d missed since I set off for a mini-“staycation” last week while Troy is in town visiting for a few […]
The week is shaping up to be a pretty busy one for me, not only because we have another snowstorm on the way in the coming days ahead, but because Troy is visiting from California for a bit and I’ve been getting my apartment and schedule sorted out to welcome him back. We’ve been making […]
