Last weekend, we drove out west for a long-awaited camping weekend with our dear friends from college. We met up in Monterey, Mass., at a state forest called Beartown, and there we set up camp on a lake and enjoyed a weekend of sleeping under the stars, building campfires and other such camp-like activities.

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 [...]
Hello my dears, I hope you all had lovely weekends wherever you were (and happy belated Easter to those who celebrated). We mostly laid low this weekend though we did enjoy the new Pinkberry that just opened in Harvard Square and managed to have a lovely sunny breakfast outside at our neighborhood cafe before the [...]
Happy birthday to my happy, calm, silly, kind, enthusiastic, brilliant, supportive, funny Dad. I can’t wait to celebrate with him this week/end.

And this morning as I scrolled through the Valentine’s Day issue, I came across this story on gathering your [...]
