A FEW TIPS FOR THROWING A COLORFUL SUMMER PARTY!

Summer to me means…BBQs, being near a body of water, ice cream/popsicles, ice cold beer (ginger beer this Summer) and enjoying the sunshine with friends + family. Since moving to New England, we learned really quickly that you must get your butt outdoors and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts! We try to make a point to […]

NEW SHOP OBSESSION: CARDTORIAL

There’s nothing I love more than seeing someone take a traditional product and put their own clever & fresh spin on it!

They create hand-crafted and laser-cut wooden keepsakes such as: cards, prints, boxes, invitations, notebooks & more! Basically, they have taken the traditional paper card to […]

A GILDED GETAWAY // NEWPORT, RI

MY NEW SKINCARE OBSESSION: SKINVOLVE

Shortly after finding out we were expecting a little one in September, I went through a stage that I like to call….“the burrito stage”. In between feeling really nauseous and attempting to work on client projects, I had a couple of meltdowns where I cried to Cody saying nothing in my closet fits me or looks good on […]

A MONDAY MOMENT

Cody and I spent most of the weekend catching up on each of our to-do lists at work. But Sunday morning we took a break to sit down & chat about our new home.

OUR NEW HOUSE: AN UPDATE

Okay, so last time I updated you guys I believe we were placing an offer on a house – well, that didn’t work out. They accepted another offer. So there we were back at square one looking for more open houses while almost feeling like giving up. At this point, we were using our entire weekends looking […]

MY SPRING CLEANING LIST

We are SO close to Spring here in Boston! At least that’s what everyone keeps telling me 😉 This winter was a rough one (it was just plain awful) and I couldn’t be more ready to open the windows, put on some good tunes and do a little Spring cleaning. Personally, I find cleaning very therapeutic…Cody […]
