Five Year Anniversary

September 4, 2019

Five Year Anniversary

I almost can't believe it's been five years since I walked down the aisle and we said "I do," but here we are! Our five year anniversary was on Friday! Last Wednesday we went to a favorite dinner spot in Central MA. We then celebrated Labor Day weekend by heading down the Cape with my sister and her husband (plus E and our combined three dogs). Since our renovation is underway, how fitting is it that the 5th anniversary gift (traditionally) is wood?? I was joking today that my anniversary …

Our Harvard Square Staycation

August 3, 2019

Our Harvard Square Staycation

When we initially talked about our renovation (and living with our families), we also talked about taking a staycation here and there. I don't know why we haven't until now, but last weekend we stayed in Harvard Square (in Cambridge, just outside of Boston). It was so needed, and I want to plan another soon! We chose to stay at The Charles Hotel, one of our favorite spots. (When T and I first met, it was at a work event at The Charles. Our first date was just down the street at a …

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, …

Cocktails at Four Seasons Boston

Cocktails at Four Seasons Boston

I've been to Four Seasons Boston for a few different events, and I'm always excited to go there. It's a beautiful hotel, and it's right on Boylston Street near all of the Newbury Street shopping. It's also not far from the Charles Street area, which (in my opinion) is one of the cutest parts of Boston. When T and I started dating, one of our first dates was in the Bristol Lounge for their chocolate/dessert buffet! Four Seasons Boston Suites I was recently invited to view the brand new …

Farm Hopping

October 16, 2018

Farm Hopping

This weekend was a little rough, I won't lie. Eleanor is getting 4 teeth at once, so she has been fussy and upset. She isn't sleeping as well as she normally does, and she's definitely coming down with a cold, too.  (So much UGH.) I'm feeling slightly under the weather as well, so we're just a hot mess over here. BUT Sunday we went to the adorable little town where my mom lives in Central MA, and we drove to the next town over to do a little farm hopping. Living in a much busier area now, I …
