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, …

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. We decided to visit Nantucket in the fall recently. It was the best decision!

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.

76 Main Hotel Review
Last weekend we took a mini getaway to Nantucket and stayed at 76 Main. It's an adorable property on Main Street (and the only hotel on Main!). The hotel underwent a huge renovation in 2013, but you'd think it was just done last week because everything is so on-trend (and Instagrammable, too!). Shirt I've been living in If you've never been to Nantucket before, you need to know that there are a few things you will see almost everywhere. Here are what I consider the most important …
Apple Picking, Pumpkins + the Best Skinny Jeans Everyone Asks About
We had a gorgeous weekend, so we took Eleanor apple picking for the first time! How basic can I get... I HAVE to go apple picking every year, and normally I force my family to go for my birthday. But we saw how nice the weather was going to be and just had to go. We had so much fun! I loved showing Eleanor the farm animals. We talk a lot about farm animals around here (she has a puzzle). Funny story: We were standing in front of the sheep and I was doing the mom voice and asking Eleanor, …
