WHAT I’M PACKING // THANKSGIVING IN VERMONT
I am so excited because we are heading to Norwich, Vermont again this year for another Friendsgiving! You can read about our trip last year here. I really wish it was going to snow again, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. 🙁 However, I am still really excited for chilly weather, making new friends/catching up with old […]
JONATHAN ADLER EVENT // 8 HOST + HOSTESS GIFT PICKS
I had such a blast at our Jonathan Adler Sip & Shop Event! It was so fun to gather some friends + new friends in the store, sip some champagne and look around at the fabulous Jonathan Adler store on Newbury St. There are so many perfect host + hostess gifts in the store for the holiday season […]
5 FRIDAY FAVORITES + SNOW BOOTS
The winter season has arrived and although it’s still fairly mild weather in Boston, I know a snow storm is right around the corner. That means wearing snow boots everyday. That being said, I am in the market for new ones because wearing the same ones everyday gets old really fast. When you are dealing […]
6 REASONS TO SEND A HANDWRITTEN CARD
I have been writing a lot of thank-you notes lately as a lot of our friends/family have been spoiling little Evie. It honestly takes me awhile to actually make myself sit down and write thank-you’s, even though I really enjoy it! Then they will sit on my counter until I go buy a book of stamps. […]
WELLNESS NO.1 – WHAT WE BRING INTO OUR HOMES
You know what’s great about having a space on the internet that’s all yours? You can do crazy things like introduce a new series/topic on the spur of the moment…all inspired by a conference. Based on how much I’ve been raving about it, you probably guessed what conference I am referring to…The W.E.L.L. Summit! I initially planned on writing a long […]
WEEKEND RECAP
This past weekend I attended The W.E.L.L. Summit Conference, an event for those seeking wellness in various areas of their lives, in Beacon Hill (a neighborhood in Boston). Before the event, I wrote about why I was excited to attend here! The weekend consisted of: new friendships, like-minded souls, hour-long learning sessions with industry leaders, healthy and enriching food, and leaving with […]
WORLD MARKET SHOPPING TRIP + WHAT I LEFT WITH
Like I mentioned in my last post about WM, I haven’t visited a Cost Plus World Market since I moved to Boston (two years ago!) and boy have I missed it! I was not able to attend the Grand Opening event due to Evie’s birth, so we ended up venturing to the store in Framingham, MA last weekend. First […]
A MEMENTO FOR EVIE – SWELL FOREVER BLANKET
Personalized or monogrammed items make for the perfect wedding, anniversary or baby gift and we see them quite often in the retail world. However, when I was introduced to Swell Forever I was amazed at how their concept goes far beyond the typical monogram through thoughtful personalized tags. See the photo below of the one we created for our little […]
#OHIDESIGNHOME + MASTER BEDROOM DESIGN
It’s about time for a little house update! To catch you up since this post, all of the rooms have a fresh coat of paint and we removed the unnecessary sconces from the living room and hallway along with the telephone jacks that were in every room. These two things alone really transformed the space! However, we […]
10 NECESSITIES FOR A NEW MOM (NON-BABY ITEMS)
As a new mom you go through a lot…there’s forgetfulness (pregnancy brain is still happening y’all), you feel like a walking zombie on most days, you are on an emotional rollercoaster, your body just took a beating and you are patiently waiting for those pre-pregnancy jeans to fit again. These are just a few things on […]
WELCOME TO THE WORLD, EVELYN JUNE.
I have been meaning to share this exciting news for 3 weeks now…but we have had guests on and off since our little girl joined us! She was born on September 29th at 5:02pm. I will skip the details of the delivery, but I will say it was the hardest and most painful days of my life….and […]
COST PLUS WORLD MARKET IS COMING TO FRAMINGHAM, MA!
I am THRILLED to announce that Cost Plus World Market is coming to Massachusetts and the grand opening is this week! Since relocating to Boston from San Diego, I have really been missing my weekly (yes, weekly) trips to this fantastic store. Just in case this is your first time hearing about World Market – they […]
