November 12, 2021 Advent Calendars – Not Just for Kids: 5 Unique Options

Why should kids get all the fun? I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite advent calendars this year. Let me know if you have a favorite that I missed! Are you the kind of person that does one per day like you’re supposed to? Or are you like my kids, who open the whole […]

June 10, 2019 Father’s Day

My husband is hard to shop for. Like, really hard to shop for. Before we started dating I thought of myself as a good gift giver – a thoughtful gift giver. But every time he opens a gift (that I think is just perfect), he makes ‘the face’, you know which one I’m talking about. […]

April 21, 2019 Easter

This year I hosted our annual neighborhood Easter egg hunt. The ladies of the ‘hood got together for some wine and ‘egg stuffing’ the night before – we had over 200 eggs. Sounds like a lot of eggs, but we had 30 kids – ranging from age 8 months to 12 years old. It was […]

November 7, 2018 Muffin House Cafe

So my dad loves the Muffin House Cafe’s muffins. We used to have to drive out to Medway to get him some, but now we don’t have to anymore. They just opened up another location in Natick, right next to Dairy Queen. The shop is small, there is one little table, so plan on getting […]

November 10, 2015 Beard Cat’s Sweet Shop

After dinner upstairs at The Obstinate Daughter, we headed downstairs to Beard Cat’s Sweet Shop for dessert. The gelateria serves coffee and acts as a retail space for the restaurant. It’s hard to choose from all the delicious flavors and to make things harder, they also have gelato sandwiches and popsicles!! Beard Cat’s proudly served […]

October 26, 2015 Trombetta’s Farm

I first fell in love with Trombetta’s Farm at the Brookline Farmers’ Market on Thursdays (1:30pm – dusk, June 18th to October 29th). My friend Ziggy, of Fox Point Pickles, was selling at the market this year, so every other Thursday I would head down and visit. (Seriously, if you haven’t had the pickles yet, you […]

December 8, 2014 Salvatore’s

After spending some time at the Boston Christmas Festival, my mom and I headed over to Salvatore’s for lunch. Salvatore’s is owned by Sal Lupoli, who you may know from his Sal’s Pizza empire. Unlike it’s more casual counterpart, Salvatore’s is a full service restaurant featuring upscale Italian food. Of course I order the Pappardelle […]
