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 …

Where to Go: Weekend on Cape Cod
I went to the mid-Cape (that's Cape Cod) every summer pretty much my entire life, so it's always fun to get back when I can! It seems like more and more people are visiting the Cape every year, so today I'm sharing some of my favorite spots. Bookmark this for your potential future trips.

Nantucket in the Fall: the Ultimate Travel Guide
I love Cape Cod and the islands in the summer months, but there's something even more special about them in the fall, when all of the tourists have gone home.

Getting to Nantucket Year round you can take the ferry, either with a vehicle (which takes about 2 hours from the Cape to Nantucket) or without a vehicle and for a bit more per ticket (takes about an hour). Cape Air (which was bought by jetBlue a few years …
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.
