October 9, 2019 (Family) Road Trip: Mystic, CT and Greenport, Long Island

Sponsored Post: I worked with Cross Sound Ferry, who graciously gifted us round trip travel tickets. As always, all opinions are my own. I had been wanting to take the kids to the Mystic Aquarium all summer, and we finally went last weekend. We couldn’t have asked for better weather all weekend. So we piled […]

September 24, 2019 Road Trip: Providence

Leah, Kim and I hopped in the car for a little road trip to Providence, RI. Providence is just about an hour away from Boston, and there are TONS of cute places to eat. First stop, PVDonuts. Their handmade donuts are over the top delicious and cute to boot. Check out their Instagram page to […]

December 31, 2018 Afternoon at Chestnut Hill Farm

I love fall festivals – and we spent a fun day at Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough. The afternoon was filled with tractor rides, great live music, pumpkin carving and painting and of course, lots of good food. The chocolate pie (bottom right) was an exceptional dessert – and I picked it up while the […]

December 19, 2018 An Evening with Xfinity and Amazon

Sponsored Post: I was compensated for this post. As always, all opinions are my own. With little kids at home, I’m pretty tired by 9pm. Ok, let’s be honest, I’m tired by 6pm, but I feel like I need to have some time to unwind and decompress in front of the tv. I can’t even […]

December 6, 2018 75th Birthday Party for Berns

When my dad turned 75, we threw him a fun party – mostly NY themed, because that’s where he’s from. He’s not much of a sweets person, so we made him a bagel ‘cake’ with his favorite bagels from Cafe Bagel. You can’t have a NY party without some good deli items, so we used […]

December 5, 2018 Terrific 2!

For my son’s 2nd birthday, we went with a safari theme. My good friend made him this adorable cake, complete with elephant, giraffe, monkey and lion. Here’s a closer look at the top of the cake. And that cute little party lion on the side! I don’t even want to tell you how many leaves […]

December 4, 2018 Party with Sweet Cheeks Catering

With our family get togethers, I find that while it might be nice to have a home cooked meal, it’s also nice to be able to spend time with your guests, instead of being banished in the kitchen. It’s hard to think of things that everyone would like, but really, everyone in my family can […]

December 4, 2018 2nd Birthday Party

My kids have really been into dinosaurs these days. When my daughter turned 2, we threw her a dinosaur themed party. My mom makes the kids cookies with their age on them every year. Just a simple sugar cookie recipe with Betty Crocker vanilla icing and sprinkles. I bought the Caspari “partysaurus” plates and napkins […]

December 3, 2018 1st Birthday

Thought that this week I would share some fun birthday party ideas that we did for the kids. For my son’s first birthday we did a fish theme. Everyone had fun fish hats to wear that we picked up inexpensively from Party City and we had pool toys bouncing around the living room. I bought […]

November 22, 2018 Happy Thanksgiving

There are so many things to be thankful for this year – good health, a roof over our heads, food on the table and good friendships. I am most thankful for my family. While I am not hosting this year, I am still doing quite a bit of baking and cooking. I was trying to […]
