WELCOME 2014
First of all, Happy New Year! The photos above are from the party we hosted at our apartment for NYE. There was a lot of laughs, champagne + treats and many rounds of catch phrase. It was so great to get a few of our new friends from Boston in one room and celebrate the […]
GE LIGHT BULB REVEAL
I don’t know if you all have heard the news, but beginning January 1st, 2014 we will be looking at purchasing light bulbs differently. The traditional 40 and 60-watt incandescent light bulbs will no longer be available for purchase. I am surprised it took this long actually – it makes since as we move closer […]
A MINIMAL HOLIDAY
Our Christmas Day consisted of delicious meals, snuggling with Bella, watching movies and a lot of coffee and champagne. We really wanted this Christmas to be as relaxing as possible – and that it was! Our first Christmas as a married couple + in Boston and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! I truly […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY SEVENTEEN + EIGHTEEN
Hooray for snow!! It actually feels like the holiday is here now! Although, I am still a bit jealous of the endless photos I see of beautiful San Diego sunsets and screen shots of the weather forecast of 70-75 degrees. But, I honestly don’t mind it. The cold isn’t that bad as long as there […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY 14 + 15 + 16
Our new neighborhood is growing on me. 🙂 I mean, it’s pretty charming. I fell in love with this mid-century bar cart from West Elm and finally got the urge to purchase it (I had a couple of gift cards from our wedding that have been burning a hole in my pocket)! Getting it home […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY NINE + TEN
There is one on every corner…I had no idea Dunkin Donuts was founded in Massachusetts. It’s a big thing here. I was able to sit down and relax for a few minutes to read the new Rue Holiday Issue! It’s fantastic – you can read it here. Yesterday when I opened my email, I was […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY EIGHT
Well, we have hit a week of being in Boston. As I am sure you can imagine, we are still trying to get settled and feel comfortable in our new city. But after today, I think it’s safe to say, I am really missing our San Diego friends. There’s somewhat of a lonely feeling living […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY SEVEN
YES! Day 7 was a good day – our belongings arrived! We were so excited to turn in our air mattress for our cozy bed. I will tell you what, not having your things for almost a month will really make you feel thankful for what you have. We got through quite a few boxes […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY 5
Bella got a sweater. And doesn’t she look just precious in that little thing?! 🙂 Cody and I were walking around one evening and stumbled upon D-Tails Pet Boutique so we went in and found Bella a couple of things. It was such a cute boutique and they even provide dog walking and daytime play groups!
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY FOUR
Alright, so if you know me…you know honking and lots of traffic makes me anxious. Well, welcome to a big city, Jessica! It is CONSTANT and I am just going to have to learn to deal with it. Thankfully our car has not arrived so no one has honked at me – but seriously…it’s every […]
30 DAYS OF BOSTON / DAY THREE
Okay, I skipped yesterday but it was Sunday and I figured it would be okay to wait and post on Monday. 🙂 So…it was about 24 degrees the past two days and I still didn’t have a good coat – we went to Newbury St. on Saturday to look for one and I was being […]
