One of the things I'm most excited for about our massive home renovation? The mudroom. I've saved this image from The Lily Pad Cottage as inspiration! It might sound a little silly to some, but we haven't had a mudroom! Our house has (er... had) two entrances: The front door and the side door. The front door enters into a very small entry, but there isn't a closet or anything immediately there. The side door used to enter right into the kitchen, and there wasn't any closet there, …

Where to stay in Sedona We travel once a year with T's family, and this year we went to Sedona. (In 2017 we traveled to Italy!) Because there are so many of us, we rented a house vs staying in a hotel. (If you want to see the exact house where we stayed, this is it.) Here's the view from the backyard! The pros of …
Boston City Guide
Boston is by far one of my favorite cities. I don't know what it is about it, but as much time as I spend here, I am constantly discovering something new! Here are some of my favorite things to do in the Boston area (and some outside the city, too). Where to eat and drink Beignets at Buttermilk and Bourbon, a New Orleans-inspired restaurant Cider donuts (seasonal, available in the fall) in Boston Public Market, where you can also get some really pretty flowers, fresh vegetables, …
