October 22, 2018 Picking Fruit at Shelburne Farm

Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve last posted – but that is because we are so busy enjoying the fall weather that I haven’t had a moment to get my photos and blog posts organized. Fall is my favorite season by far, light coats, crisp air, and of course, apple picking. We have always […]

My friend Leah is the absolute best. Last weekend, these two moms packed our bags and ran away from home! No kids, no husbands – just a weekend worth of quiet time, good laughs and of course, great food. So we headed over to Logan Airport to catch our Cape Air flight. I’ve been to […]

November 29, 2017 It’s About Time – Cooking with Michael Schlow

If you’re looking for holiday gift ideas, I always love giving cookbooks. Pick out your favorite recipe from the book (flag the page with a post it note) and pick up the ingredients the recipient will need to make the recipe. It makes a super cute gift basket!

November 22, 2017 Staycation at the Boston Marriott Newton

I have a confession to make. Thanksgiving is one of my least favorite holidays. I don’t even like turkey. (GASP!) So sometimes the idea of spending Thanksgiving away is very appealing. Cue the Boston Marriott Newton. A perfect place, close to home, where you don’t have to worry about making your bed or cleaning up […]

November 20, 2017 A Day Out With Cape Cod Select

For the past 70 years, the Rhodes family has been harvesting cranberries, and has made Cape Cod Select Cranberries a household name.
