February 9, 2017 Modern Map Art

I love maps. When Jennifer reached out to me about her new company, Modern Map Art, I jumped at the chance to work with her. As you may know, we recently moved (check out the dining room transformation here) and I’ve been busy trying to decorate our new space. For some reason, the master bedroom […]

When I was a kid, all I ever wanted to get for Valentine’s Day was that heart shaped box of Russell Stover chocolates, the bigger the better.

January 24, 2017 Whipped Urban Cupcake Co.

Just before the holidays, I stopped over to the Boston Public Market to check out Whipped Urban Cupcake Co. and their delicious bite sized cupcakes. The only bad part about the cupcakes was that they were gone in two (ok one) bites. Left: Nuttin Betta (from the Bougie collection), a dark chocolate cupcake with rich […]

December 12, 2016 Holiday Gift Guide: Bags and Babies

I refuse to shop for the holidays before December 1st. Black Friday shopping just isn’t for me, there isn’t anything I want, or can think of, that I would wait in line for 5 hours to buy. Don’t even get me started on those stories you hear about people getting in fights over the last […]

December 7, 2016 Happy Holidays from Macy’s

This holiday season has me feeling a little nostalgic. I was asked to participate in a campaign for Macy’s this year and it got me thinking back (WAY back) to when I was a kid and what shopping was like then. First, there was no Natick Collection. The Shopper’s World isn’t the one that you […]

November 28, 2016 Welcome to Boston Eataly!

I was fortunate to be invited to the media preview of Eataly that will be opening tomorrow, November 29th! I wasn’t sure what to expect, I have been to the Eataly in the flatiron district in New York, but there has been a lot of skepticism going around about this location. I was pleasantly surprised […]

November 22, 2016 Entertaining with Brothers Marketplace

Brothers Marketplace in Weston just underwent a major renovation. I didn’t even recognize it when I walked in. The store has huge windows in the front that let in all the natural light. You’re greeted by beautiful fresh flowers before walking towards the bakery case full of house made treats. Next your eyes wander over […]
