We are at crunch time, folks. And crunch time calls for a cocktail - am I right? Sometimes you just need to blow off your to-do list entirely, whip up something festive and bubbly and slow the heck down. And this fun, fizzy, festive little number will do just the trick. Served with my favorite gin (ok, the only gin I actually drink) - Barr Hill - this is one smooth way to get through the holidays! Ho, ho, ho!
Read MoreFourth of July might be my all time favorite holiday. It’s smack dab in the middle of summer, people seem to feel extra festive and I love how New Englanders truly embrace everything red, white and blue once July rolls around. Throwing a summer-inspired soiree just seems to be half the fun of celebrating this oh-so-important day, so I teamed up with Nantucket Looms to create three different looks for this year’s Fourth - from a seaside chic soiree, to a backyard bash with hot dogs and sparklers to the perfect beach picnic - we’ve whipped up something for everyone!
Read MoreWe are finally getting some summer weather in these parts, and that just makes me want to celebrate all the things. Suns out? Celebrate. Made it through Tuesday? Celebrate. Actually made dinner? Celebrate. Perhaps I have a low bar, but summer is fleeting, and it’s time to make the most of it. On your mark, get set, go!
Read MoreWe have this amazing little cafe in our area called The Beehive. It’s pretty adorable and the food is on point. They make this amazing tea concoction they call the Winter Elixir., and I get throughout the winter whenever I’m feeling like my immune system could use a boost. Being that it’s March in New England, I think everyone’s body could use a good dose of this right about now. I actually called them up so I could make it at home from time to time, and it’s surprisingly pretty simple! A little homemade ginger mint tea, some delicious Raw Honey from The Republic of Vermont and fresh lemon juice, and this drink will do your body good. We also don’t judge if you want to add a little shot of bourbon - we hear it will warm you right up!
Read MoreThere have been lots of changes in out house since the little one arrived, but I still think it’s oh-so-important to do my best to feel myself as much as I possibly can. And for me, that’s making sure we are doing little things like celebrating this festive fall season. Now, let’s be real, I can barely take a shower, so there is no elaborate menu on hand, but I love implementing easy ideas like a simple popcorn tasting with Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP. Guest list? The hubby, myself, the little guy, and the pups. Oh so simple, yet oh so sweet.
Read MoreAs a little girl, my New England-bred parents (who had been transplanted to Tennessee right around the time I was born), packed up our suburban every summer and drove up the eastern seaboard (sometimes with a boat in tow, sometimes with a dog, and always with four kids with far too much energy for a 22 hour drive) to escape the oppressive southern summers. We instead replaced them with magical New England ones.
