2014!

Duxbury, MA Christmas Day

So, let's catch up really quick, and then I'll make some promises I hope to stick to. A lot has changed in the last few months!

1.) I'm engaged! 5 months way from being my Mr.'s Mrs.
2.) I am the proud Mother of a 7 month old Golden Retriever named Simon. (After Paul Simon)
3.) I now manage a small boutique in the South End, Flock Boston and it's a dream come true.

Okay, now that we got that out of the way - I am back to provide you with gift recommendations, songs that will get stuck in your head, yummy recipes, life stories and pictures of my dog. The regular stuff. Excited to get back in the swing of things, and have been working on some great content! Cheers to a wonderful 2014!

Late June

 

 Splitting time between the city, southern Vermont and the hometown beach has proved to be just as awesome as it sounds (and looks) like it is.

The picture on top was taken while hiking up snowshed in Killington, Vermont. The whole ski trail is overtaken by these beautiful wild flowers in the summer.. Someone reminded me they were weeds. But ignorance is such bliss - BEAUTIFUL WILDFLOWERS! SSSSHHHHHH. The second picture was taken at my parent's house - They buy pellegrino in bulk from Costco and it's silly but how beautiful is that bottle? It's really the little things. Also, a quick note on growing up - protect your face skin from deterioration - where a hat. 

If you are local in Boston/MA area I wanted to take the time to point out how lovely and awesome my hometown is, and suggest you get down there at least once this summer to enjoy some beach time - link drop below to all the places you must stop!

• Far Far's Ice cream is just about the most delicious stuff on the planet - mint chocolate chip for days 
• Best place to get a to go sandwich for the beach is by far and away D'Orazio's Italian Market Place
• Head to French Memories and the Snug Harbor Fish Market to get crispy bread and some lobstahs for dinner.. there is also a great little wine shop right there for some champagne if you are interested! 
• Finally enjoy a sunset at Bumpus Park.. This is literally a 4 minute walk from where I grew up and I spent many a night sitting on the sea wall with friends... I would encourage you to do the same!

Hope you make it down for a great day in Dux!
