Rockport.

Saturday found me, the husband, and my parents (visiting for the weekend) in Rockport, Mass. It was a blissful afternoon of wandering one of the North Shore’s loveliest seaport towns and these are my favorite shots from the day. I really need to make a point of getting out and about with my camera more [...]

Friday dreams: Kauai.

I know it was just a couple months ago that we got back from our honeymoon in Kauai but it’s not hard to miss PARADISE when the weather is starting to move from chilly to just really f-ing cold and you’re trying to save money on your gas bill because you’ve never HAD a gas [...]

John Krasinski, sleeping arrangements.

Why does it always seem like the one weekend I’m going out of town/unavailable is the weekend where EVERYTHING WONDERFUL IS HAPPENING?! Like the weekend we got married and went on our honeymoon? The So You Think You Can Dance tour came to Boston AND so did Regina Spektor too. This is my luck. And [...]

Southbound.

Tonight I get to do a task that I normally abhor. That most people normally abhor. But that I am totally looking forward to this time and that is packing. I know, I know. Packing generally blows. Almost as much as unpacking. But this time, I’m packing for the BEACH! There, I said it, the [...]

Happy 4th, ya’ll.

Today, we’re headed down southward to Connecticut for this massive 4th of July party our friend hosts every year. Promises to be good times with good people and amazing food (filet mignon burgers, anyone?). I’m hoping to get some good shots in with my new Nikon D60 (which I still need to officially blog about, [...]

Tonight.

We go here. For my birthday. Excited down to the tips of my tippy toes. Something about going to New York City is just exciting to me. Why? Only reason I could ever come up with is because everything seems possible in New York. Don’t know that I could ever live there, but I sure [...]

Connecting the dots.

What’s up, what’s up everybody? I am officially back from San Francisco and I have to say, I loved that city! Seriously. The hills, the weather, the people, the neighborhoods, the food, the wine – ahh! So wonderful. Helped that my friend Lani (and here I would normally link to her blog or Twitter but [...]

Hello from sunny San Francisco!

Hi friends. Just a short note to say hello from San Francisco! I’m cozily sitting here in my hotel room, just killing time before a client networking event this evening. We have had the most amazing past few days, wine tasting in Napa on Saturday, Muir Woods, Sausalito and Golden Gate bridge on Sunday, and [...]

West Coast bound and #tenbuckthursday

Hey folks, I know I’ve been slightly MIA lately but trust me when I say that work and life have been incredibly busy lately. That’s why you’re getting a two-for-one blog post today. Prepare yourselves. First of all, I’m excited to say that I am headed to the left coast tomorrow for a little business [...]

Fall review (in pictures).

I know fall is only just over halfway through, but something seems to have shifted over the past few days. Gone is that crisp, light fall air. Today, the air is breathless and dry, just waiting for snow. It seems we’ve reached that seasonal turning point, where the next season feels much closer than the [...]
