February 10, 2017 Love at First Bite
If you’re going with heart shaped boxes of chocolates for Valentine’s Day this year, you certainly can’t go wrong with one from Phillips. They are Boston’s oldest chocolatiers, founded in 1925, and every chocolate is handcrafted. Two choices I personally love are the sea salt caramel assortment and the turtle assortment. I’m pretty fussy about […]

It’s been a busy summer. One of the exciting things that happened a few months ago was that we moved! One of the most fun (and stressful) parts about moving is designing your new space. I always love a good before and after story, so here is what the room looked like when the previous […]
