November 21, 2018 Picking Fruit at Tougas Farm
Another place we liked to pick our own fruit this season was Tougas Farm in Northborough. We did strawberries and cherries here this season, but this time of year they do have apple picking available. The first time we went was when the baby was fairly new – so here I am with three kids […]

April 27, 2018 Weekend Getaway to Nantucket
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 […]

July 23, 2017 Day-tripping to Freeport, ME – Tuesday Water Cooler
My mom and I have this tradition of driving up to Freeport, ME every year to do some outlet shopping. We’ve done it since I was a little girl. When we first started going, we stayed overnight at a cute little B&B that is no longer. We’ve watched the little town grow and seen stores […]

November 17, 2016 Girls Day Out in North Fork
I needed a day off to regroup and have a little “me” time. I woke up at the crack of dawn and drove in the dark to pick up Kim to head over to New London, CT to catch the 9am ferry. She made the mix tape and I brought the snacks and we took […]

August 22, 2016 Extend Summer at the Cape Codder
Summer is coming to an end, Labor day is just around the corner and you’re getting the kids ready to go back to school. But after Labor day is the best time to be on the Cape (well, I think it is!) because all the tourists are gone, you can drive through town without the […]

December 27, 2015 Daily Grind
We went to visit my brother in North Carolina and he took us to one of his favorite places for breakfast. The Daily Grind is a great little coffee shop where you can grab a bite to eat and do a little work on your laptop – oh, and they have great coffee too. If […]

December 26, 2015 Petticoat Row Bakery
On a day trip to Nantucket this fall, we spent the afternoon walking around the island. One stop was the Petticoat Row bakery, a cute little shop just off the beaten path. With the summer season coming to a close, their cases were a bit more sparse than usual, but we still found some delicious […]

December 13, 2015 Kilwins
Kilwins is an amazing sweet shop in Cary with other locations across the country. They have a variety of sweets to choose from, check out these caramel apples, I feel a cavity coming on just looking at them! I was so impressed when my niece said she was only going to get one scoop of […]

December 13, 2015 Brigs at the Crossing
After eating Bruegger’s three days in a row, I needed a real breakfast. We went to Brigs at the Crossing. When we arrived, there were a lot of old timers eating breakfast – they serve it all day, 7am to 2:30pm. I had the Western omelette with ham, onion, peppers and swiss cheese (instead of […]

December 12, 2015 Ruth’s Chris Steak House
My brother took us out to Ruth’s Chris Steak House for my niece’s birthday. Generally speaking, chain steak houses don’t really do it for me, Ruth’s Chris not being an exception. The restaurant looks like it belongs in a hotel. The service here was good, our server was attentive and she was super friendly. We […]
