We ended up being stuck at home on this beautiful, perfect summer Saturday because A had to fix his brakes, which is apparently an all day affair. (How cool is it though that my husband knows how to fix his own brakes?!) Not having any errands I HAD to do, and not really wanting to [...]
This past weekend was all about containers at our house. I’d been longing for a trip to The Container Store for some time now. Have you been to this place? It’s an organizer’s dream! Any sort of item you need to contain? They have the container for it. The first order of disorganized business was [...]
Hi friends. Hope you all had smashing Presidents Days at work, at home, at play, or wherever you ended up this day of presidents. Perhaps I shouldn’t be admitting this publicly but I honestly had to look up the purpose of Presidents Day today (to save you the hassle, it’s Washington’s birthday (which is actually tomorrow)), [...]
Part of going back to the professional world meant upgrading to something slightly better than the bottom-of-the-line bar and flip phones I’ve been using since high school.

One thing I never expected about buying a house was the expectation from others that we would also buy flowers, when the time was right. Have you ever noticed the flower culture out in the ‘burbs? Because it can be brutal. It’s very “oh your flowers look…. nice. What are you using on them? I [...]
We’re back from a wonderful weekend in the Crescent City by the river. It’s amazing how tacking on one extra day to your weekend trip can make it feel like it stretched on for almost a week. We came home in the wee hours to a dark house and a confused cat and it seemed [...]
While we were home at Thanksgiving, my parents loaded us up with lots of stuff to drive back up to Boston, including this – the fake Christmas tree we’ve had since I was kid (they’ve been getting a real tree for the past few years). Having no ornaments, I strung it up with white lights [...]
I woke up this morning to an email from my uncle who lives in New Orleans with a photo of an oyster po-boy from the absolute best po-boy shop in the world (that I know of anyways) (Bobby’s in Harahan), which I’m pretty sure constitutes cruelty to family members and is punishable by law at [...]
